Death of a Legend, last ride at Porky's in St Paul, MN

This was one of those places I always hoped to visit one day. With a future trip to the Car Craft Nationals held at the fairgrounds in St Paul, I have read for years about the legendary Porkys. Sadly, as I read today, such a trip will no longer be possible. Places like this, as well as Metro Detroit's Vinsetta Garage, are important parts of Americana in this country. They are a reminder of a different time, an era long gone, but not forgotten. It always saddens me when places like these are lost, as with them, decades of memories past/present/and future are erased.
