    My favorite teenage makeout spot is now a subdivision. To be fair, some of my innocence died there long before they started building, iykwim

    Jack playing skills might be lacking, but his lyric skills seem on point enough to get his intended message through so powerfully like that.

    Unfortunately, that construction worker is too low on the chain of command to make much of a difference for them. But hey, props for trying.

    Actually, Jack’s lament about “the day our innocence died” is exactly backwards. The closing of a potential make-out spot means that the lads’ innocence will be preserved, for yet another summer.

    I agree, Linton, the lack of formative fumbling can completely ruin a summer; but if you are committed, like some, you will still fumble along.

    Rock on, Jack!

    Most rivers are quite long, but this was probably the best walking distance spot. Surely, though, there is another new spot to christen.
