An Alleged Store

So I know no one probably reads this, which is all the easier for me. Cause transparency is hard! Especially when you don't know who's reading everything you're talking about. But I was motivated to post since it was about this same time last year when I updated my blog. Why not start a new tradition?

Anyways. I am involved in this current argument with Jesse (It's not a fight, just two equal minds believing the other person is INCORRECT). I don't know how this exactly started..wait I'm remembering, we were at the Costco, or at least I was on Shaw and Goldenstate and I was looking at the huge Home Depot store. My mind instantly flashed back (15 years ago?) when (I believe) it used to be a smaller Home Base store. I told Jesse so. Jesse then disagreed with me (like he actually lived in Fresno 15 years ago right?). So he dared me to look it up, I did then found nothing on the history of my alleged Home Base (except for the one based out of the UK). So I believed him that I had made it up and tucked it away for a later date.

Last Sunday: Dinner with my fam. Mom is talking about how much Fresno has changed, and I ask her about this "Home Base" which in Jesse's mind never existed. And GUESS WHAT?! She remembered it! Has this convinced Jesse? No. So now I'm waiting on a call from a neighbor from my old hood who's lived in Fresno for 20 something years. And the condition? I can't ask if Home Depot was ever Home Base, I have to ask "was Home Depot ever called by another name?". So we shall see. I might update this blog in a year and tell you what I found out (but I could tell you all that now since I already know Jesse's wrong and there really was once a store called Home Base which existed in Fresno, CA!) :)
