Going Dark
When I’ve been in New York City (once)
and San Francisco a few times… it happened on Monday nights.

When I was in London (once)
it was on Sunday nights.

I believe that most cities have a night when many of the theaters go dark. The show doesn’t close. They just take a night off.
Today I received a call from Gate Guard Services corporate offices, requesting that The Fork in the Road go dark as well.
While I’m free to keep the blog, I need to abide by their cease and desist request re: any future posts that are in any way related to the industry, gate guarding or to Gate Guard Services. They expressed their preference that this also includes all past posts (400+ ).
I may come back to Fork at some point with a different focus. I’m uncertain right now.
SO – one last thank you for being such an amazing group! I’ve truly been flabbergasted by your readership and support. Although I’m sure that you all don’t love musical theater (you know how it is with me and music), I keep thinking of this song from Wicked so I’ll end with this and go dark, at least for now.
Warmly,

Sad day in the RV today. This is the last time we will mention Gate Guard Services. For those many folks who took the risk of coming to Texas and working for GGS because of our promotions and encouragement, we only hope you love your job as much as we’ve loved ours.
We feel we needed to offer some explanation for taking a different road from here forward.
I’m trying to persuade Debbie to return to writing here in the future.
“The Road Not Taken”
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
We have no regrets for taking this fork. The next one will be different.
Once again, I can’t begin to thank you enough for your encouragement and enthusiastic support!
I’m closing comments to this post in deference to the wish of our employers that nothing further be said about the company or the industry.
