sight overnight.
A modern new station was
planned. But the old station that
had long been the one spot in
Roby where everybody could
find out anything that might be
happening — whore everybody
was at the moment, etc.—was
not expected to disappear into
thin air.
Construction workmen dug a
deep hole and then pushed the

bulldozers, and covered it up.
