'Surreal', exactly. That's the word I was trying to think of.

Interesting that you were going to work at McDonald's that late at night. Were they open all night back then?

Yep...back in the days when that neighborhood was fairly safe anyway. Oh sure we'd get our fair share of Friday and Saturday night drunks, but they were relatively harmless...one even gave me a $2.00 tip, when the Manager wasn't looking, of course. Actually I was part of the clean-up crew, which often gave me the unpleasant task of cleaning the scuzzy bathrooms. Oh, well. Had to start somewhere.
