GOING OUT WITH KHADIAH FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2/21/20: 110 GRILL IN HOLYOKE!

On Monday, November 9, 2020, I went out with Khadiah for the first time since 2/21/2020 and we went to 110 Grill Holyoke at the Holyoke Mall. Before I talk about this outing, let's go back to 2/21/2020:

What I did on 2/21/2020:

10AM-12PM: Watched Sonic The Hedgehog at Cinemark in Hadley
2PM-6PM: Went with Julie to 110 Grill in Millbury (about an hour from my house)
6PM-9PM: Went with Khadiah to Round1 in Holyoke to go to the arcade
9PM-9:40PM: Did closing time shopping at the Holyoke Mall at Burlington (formerly Burlington Coat Factory)
9:40PM-12AM: Ate dinner at Applebee's

As you can see, it was a LONG day!

Here are the pictures and videos from this HISTORIC day!

First, the pictures!


A new housing project under construction in my city, scheduled to be fully complete by the end of 2030. Yes, 10 MORE YEARS...





This part of the project has not yet started; still abandoned. Construction on the red building you just saw started in 2019 and has pretty much been completed in 2020; tenants have already moved in. Construction on the next building in the project is expected to start in 2021 as well. 




This complex, called Tower Space, was lost to a fire in May 2020, but my city didn't give up. Reconstruction of the building is currently happening as of November 2020, and a new roof has recently been put on.


Berries and leaves...






It's really cool when the setting sun shines on the mountain like that...


Congrats Biden! 💙💙💙 #Biden2020


In we go!


Not even Thanksgiving, but 110 Grill (and my family) are already ready for Christmas!


The most delicious time of the year...


Well, for the first time ever, at 6:45pm, upon getting into 110 Grill, we were told that there was a wait of 30-35 minutes. The first time ever that I/we had to wait at 110 Grill! So, from 6:45pm to 7:15pm, we shopped at Forever 21 during our wait; it felt like forever...


Just the COVID-19 rules at the mall playing out...


Forever 21's (and everyone else's) COVID-19 tagline: "Safety First".
Just the 2020 usual: Hand sanitizer, welcome regulations, social distancing, more cleaning, all that...


Also ready for Christmas: Forever 21.


Thank god I'm not USED to fitting rooms, the girls must be FREAKING OUT over the months-long closure of fitting rooms at this point! Although a good thing, "Safety First" is kind of INCONVENIENT when you want to try on clothes, but something microscopic called the "coronavirus" won't let you! Ugh! 🤭🤭🤭🤬🤬🤬🛑🛑🛑 Just a sign of the times...


Lookin' stylish today!


Social distancing at Forever 21. I challenge you to find a place that ISN'T doing it right now! Difficulty: impossible! And if you DID find one that isn't doing it, DON'T YOU DARE STEP FOOT IN THERE; THEY'LL PROBABLY HUG YOU! 



Time to eat at 110 Grill! First up, a Diet Coke.


Looking (and sipping) good!


Gluten free bread and butter at 110 Grill.


Couldn't help myself: got a second Diet Coke!


Gluten free 110 Classic Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries.


Once again, couldn't help myself. Got a second gluten free bread roll. So small yet so good!


Dessert time: By this point, it was 8:25pm (25 minutes after closing time and about an hour before the 9:30pm COVID-19 legal curfew) and it was time for dessert, so I got a gluten free chocolate cake, which was very good!


Nearly empty parking lot leaving 110 Grill at 8:40pm.

And for the videos:













As you can see, it was a GREAT AND HISTORIC DAY!
