The original exit for the Blackwell liquor store on I-40 had been closed for years, so Rock was surprised when his high school track coach Don Carnahan slowed almost to a stop to take it.
He was surprised not only that Carnahan didn't realize the exit was closed but also that he would want to go to a liquor store. Rock had known Carnahan for a little more than forty years and had never known him to drink.
"Coach, I hate to tell you, but that exit's been closed for at least fifteen years, maybe more," Rock said.
Carnahan backed away from the fence that sealed the exit and returned to the flow of traffic. "I don't think it's been closed that long," he said.
