Fictional satire. This story is just for fun. The people, quotes, and events are invented.

The Batavia Mug held beside a downtown windmill
A mug from the hometown collection, pictured to illustrate this fictional story.

A longtime resident experienced what witnesses described as “the afternoon he had been preparing for his entire life” after discovering a mug illustrated with familiar hometown landmarks.

“That used to be a hardware store,” he announced, pointing to a building that was currently a hardware store.

Over the following twenty minutes, he identified the old school, explained where the railroad tracks once continued, and clarified which parking lot had previously been something else.

His family initially attempted to leave but returned when he began explaining the bridge.

The resident later purchased four mugs to distribute among relatives who had not yet heard his account.

He is available to explain the reverse side after lunch.
