You haul Sixteen Tons, whadaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
16 Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford
Thanks again to Google Maps Streetview, I've assembled another collection of curbviews. This time: All the places I've worked at over the years. More photo album style than scrapbook I'll restrict commentary on each location since if you search through my regular and FLASHBACK posts you can find plenty written about these jobs and the effect they've had on me.
1979
Site of Bijou's Bar and Bistro (now, as you can see, a Mexican restaurant)
Woonsocket, RI
1980
Site of Baram's Dry Goods (now a Tattoo Parlor)
Woonsocket, RI
1980-1983
Site of Howard Johnson's Restaurant (demolished in 1988 to build this McDonald's)
North Smithfield, RI

Though this isn't actually it, there were some similarities. I worked at Wrentham State School, a state institution for the mentally retarded. This picture (since Google Maps Streetview didn't even get close to the Wrentham campus) is of Worcester State Hospital a few miles away. Cool looking building, huh? I think they demolished it though.
