….in a city of almost 3 million people

Today at work I sat with two of our new teachers during lunch. I asked my table mates if they had ever eaten at Tavoos or had any experience with Persian foods. One of my colleagues used to live within walking distance of the restaurant that I posted about yesterday. This conversation eventually led to where people lived presently.

Mr. T said he lived in the Parklawn area. I perked up immediately because I had spent 10 years of my formative years in the same area. I asked him if he lived in one of the apartments or a house in the area. He said it was an apartment. I also lived in an apartment. I asked him if he lived on Kings Point Dr. The answer was yes. I couldn’t believe what came next. Not only did he live on the same street but he lived in the same building and on the same floor. When I described the view from our apartment it became very clear to both of us that he is residing in the same unit that I lived in for 10 years. We were both blown away. We continued to describe the neighbourhood and the amenities that were across the street. He couldn’t wait to go home and tell his wife of our conversation today. What are the odds?

Cheers!
