903 Memorial blvd.
Springfield, TN

Amanda sounded very nice on the phone and she had a comparable model Ford Ranger for sale just 30 minutes north of my first candidate. As I approached the address I found myself deep in southern commercial suburban diasporic sprawl and I wondered how we’d possibly find a residence wedged between a KFC and a title loan shanty. Turns out that 903 Memorial Blvd is in fact a CVS.

I parked and rang Amanda’s phone. No answer. Tried again, left a message, and waited for 20 minutes. Nothing doing. Even went inside and asked if an Amanda worked there. Nope.

Total mystery. I pushed on home.
