Harold's Club:
The Harold's Club is the ending of the book and the beginning of Allison Johnson's new life but when we visited the place, I didn't feel anything special about it. It was just an empty square. So obviously the Harold's Club is no longer standing so I did a bit of background research into it to find as to where it used to stand.
The location wasn't anything too special, I mean it was right in front of the Reno Arch but thats always been there. It might be that I am jaded from living here for so long and that these little tidbits don't excite me as much as someone else might be but whatever. Thinking about it, I do think it is cool that it's right in front of the arch because one could look at it in the sense that as one passes under the arch, we enter a new place and with the new place comes new experiences, hardships, friends, challenges, victories, etc. So maybe the location of the has-been Harold's Club is more instrumental to the development of Allison than we know/think.
But, I don't know, I felt that the square where Harold's Club used to stand is just a sad, open, empty place now and it is not being used for anything.
