Internet Cafe
Just around the corner from Central Station, tourists and students flock to the Internet Cafe to check emails, trade stocks, and catch up on hometown news. During one of my photo excursions, while drinking a Heineken, I read that LA had suffered a minor earthquake. Concerned because my parents live in Pasadena, I instant messaged one of my AOL buddies and asked her to call my folks to see if they were ok. Two minutes later, she responded they were on the phone happy that I "called" to check in. My buddy continued to say that Dad had slept through the tremor and Mom was upset to find her only son overseas. In my concern for them, I gave her something else to worry about. (Truth be told, she should be more concerned when I'm at home in Baltimore.) Oh well, at least I saved "a buck or two."
