Welcome to Hillsdale

In 1975, Sybil was in her third trimester of what most would describe as a geriatric pregnancy. I was growing at a rapid rate in her belly causing her great discomfort. To combat her terrible gas, Sybil ran down to the local Medi Mart to get some antacid.

Now the story goes, she tried to walk in via the automatic door entrance, but instead of it swinging in, the door swung out, striking her and sub-sequentially me. Sybil threatened to sue claiming there was a high chance her baby was hurt. She settled on the spot for sixty bucks and the antacid she originally set out for. Sixty dollars and a bottle of milk of magnesia was the magic combo for her to forget about any damage to her unborn baby.

To this day I have never seen or heard of an automatic entrance door swinging out. I don't even think the hinges work both ways.  Even with pregnancy brain Sybil had the skill.
