MEETING FAMOUS PEOPLE
Do You Remember the Pace Picante Sauce Commercial?
I met the man who delivered the famous “New York City?” line!
How in the world did this happen, you ask?
My husband and I were out enjoying a beer at Origin Beer Lab, a local craft brewery in a sleepy little town called Ashland, which boasts its train town status and claims to be the Center of the Universe.
It was a beautiful afternoon, and this place had large, garage doors that they opened in nice weather with bar-style seating on either side of the counters that also occupied this space.
With the establishment located parallel to the train tracks and the Amtrak station just down the way, it’s a frequent phenomenon to see trains pass through, making it part of the entertainment of enjoying an adult beverage here.
The brewery wasn’t super crowded, but it was busy enough that we were making use of the more communal seating at the outdoor bar. Another couple sat down with us and struck up a conversation. And then an older gentleman joined us as well.
