  • The Purple Tunnel People were stuck in the Purple Tunnel of Doom for hours and hours with the expectation that there would eventually be a Purple Gate where people with Purple Tickets would pass through to the Purple Section. Bummer.

I'm pretty sure at the time it was very specifically about the joy and wonder of having a Black President in a country that had ended the most brutal era of slavery humanity has ever seen a little over a century and half before (not to mention all the many forms of racism that ensued in the intervening years).

It was a bridge designated unsafe for the weight of vehicle traffic so it was repainted and designed for foot traffic only. The riverfront on both sides is very active and fun so it made perfect sense. So when I saw "Purple Tunnel" I thought hmmmmm. Thanks again for clearing my confusion. Merry Christmas to all.

    This gives me nostalgia. In High school, I used to be in marching band, and one time at a band festival there was a bad storm that had rolled in half way through the day during the field shows. Everyone had to go below the stadium seats under the concrete structure, so there were probably 1,000 kids with some adults scattered around, all stuck together during a bad storm. Eventually, we all just started singing songs we all knew, and this video pretty much sums up wat it looked like. Easily my favorite childhood memory.

      It all depends on where you live. Hopefully you live around safe and sane people that listen to health professionals and vaccine rates are above 70% for your area, otherwise good luck! I've heard New Zealand looks great at all times of the year?

      @@Greenteabook true. Here in Massachusetts USA we actually listed to the masking for the most part, I'd say 95% of people did... And now we are almost 100% open. and doing fine. the states that didn't take this seriously, in other words the Trump states.. are still messed up. The numbers are clear. No question about it. Go ahead and fight it if you want but the facts are clear. The states that realized this was serious from the start... When Trump was saying this is a joke, we are the ones who are returning to life as usual now. The rest of you are still in shut down mode. That's literally 100% true. You might want to say it's not true, but if you do, it just makes you look more stupid.

    I was at a theater competition in 1999. All of the state high schools were competing for the championship and while we were waiting for the judges to decide the entire auditorium, multiple schools of actors and singers,joined spontaneously in a rendition of this song- reminiscent of the scene from the movie by the same name starring Morgan Freeman. I’ll never forget it.
