After a 25 year run as the World Headquarters for the Apples, it has come to this.
Following an influx a stimulus money from the Obama administration, it can today be reported that the long time Apple World Headquarters is no more.
Although not confirmed,rumours have pointed to the site of the former Apple Building as the future home of the John Beasley Amusement Park and Petting Zoo.
The site of many memorable events over the past 2 plus decades, the former Apple Headquarters failed in its recent attempt to gain status on the National Historic Registry.
"Not sure what the objection of the Historic Committee was" said AGFHOF Don Bernitt as he was joined by a throng of former Apples to witness the destruction of the building. "Heck,maybe we should have told them we were a mosque" added Bernitt as he climbed on board the 10 ton backhoe to knock down the ceremonial first brick.
Joining Bernitt at the 600 block of Jefferson Street in Nashville for the razing of the building were Dennis Miller,Mary Anderson, Tom Nance, Jeff Merkle, Michael McCullum,Glenda Gardner, Barbara Woehnker,Neil Bennett,Don King, Roger Taylor,Kenny Randolph, Lori Spinks, Jerry Keen, Erin Poole, John Jones, Cathy Grossman,Max Boyle, Kathy Henderson, David Lambert, Christi Copous, Roger Spears,Sean Black, Jim Thomas, Marty Grove, Tom Finch, Charlie Ramsey, Patti Rowe, Chris Wisekal, Don Upton, Jeff Bailey, Lisa Bailey Bean, Tim Kaylor, Robert Patton, Skip Beasley and Doctor Rod Goodner. Not to be lost in the crowd were many other Apples that were in fact, lost in the crowd.
Noticeably absent from the gathering was Apple Founder John Beasley who is believed to be spearheading the attempt to secure stimulus money from Obama. When contacted via cell phone for comment,Beasley responded by saying, "put an extra 50 cents on that."
And so it is, what was once the headquarters for the now world famous Apples is no more. As the backhoe smashed and bricks crashed there was but one thing left to be said.........
How bout them Apples!
