I was only slightly older when I used to take the LIRR in to go shopping. Now, as an adult, I get all panicky! I've been suburbanized! :)Lavender Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551393045594763535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226357451406449725.post-65357081081211082802015-06-24T08:35:01.498-04:002015-06-24T08:35:01.498-04:00Thanks, Chris.

Family and friends even old places to eat! I try to take my daughter to places around town and events or festivals we have. We still live in the city I grew up in but there is a lot we can do.

So we go to where my family is now, where I spent summers and vacations. We do the same for my wife's side. I do think it is great that you can do that though. I hope you have a wonderful time there. Safe travels!

There...I miss New York sometimes .... sometimes lol<br />There's nothing you can do about the way the world has been contaminated since the days of our childhood and the days of your children's all you can do is push the envelope and try to show them what it was like to wander the streets alone, and stay out all day until the sun goes down. People still find it hard to believe in this day and age and this sheltered world that I used to walk 30 or so blocks to go get a hot dog in Manhattan when I was a kid, or that I would get on two subways and a bus with another 12 year old friend to go see Mets games. I'm more shocked when I look back that the bleacher tickets were $1.50 lolJeremy Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872102864997603476noreply@blogger.com
