foxfai Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Back home, Hong Kong. It's a completely different place now since 20 years ago. The park, school, buildings, food are all gone. Nothing can bring me back for a visit besides my relatives..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Brian Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Greenwood Dairies, it was an ice cream joint. They had what they called the Pig's Dinner. a 5 scoop sundae. iirc, it was in Langhorne, PA just outside of Philly.

Michael P Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Afriend was asking me about some lakes and ponds he saw on Google Earth that were up in the neck of the woods I grew up in. I looked at the satellite images in order to give him some input. I was really bummed out when I saw that about 80% of the area I hunted and fished as a teenager was now houses. Is it too much to ask to just breathe, be able to walk and go fishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverrunner Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Rolling Green amusement park Selingsgrove PA. My grandfather played bingo and I was given a roll of tickets and coins for the game room on the hill. Paint it Black blaring in the game room on a great stereo system for that time is forever burned into my head. Destroyed in a flood.

Brother Brian Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 The lunch counter at Wanamakers in Philly. Grandpop used to take me there as a special treat after the Terminal market (?) where I remember vendors yelling "Nothing Sold after the train leaves the SHED !!" It became a family saying for "Get it now !!" .

Saltator Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Aspen Colorado in the 60s. It was nothing then. Went every year when I was a kid and stayed at this little log cabin place. It wasn't about celebrities or braggin about where you'd been or anything. It was just this place we drove out to every summer to hang out, hike, maybe do some trout fishing. I remember it as a sleepy little town of about 15,000, now I read there can be so many private jets at the airport they get into traffic jams. Taffic jams at the airport? I don't think there even was an airport. Bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick706 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 United Skates of America on 60th st and Ft Hamilton Pkwy in Brooklyn. I remember going there in 1981-1984 and skating, dancing meeting girls and listening to 80s music. I was so damn upset that place closed down in 1984 it was the worst thing in my life at that time! Ahhh priorities when youre just a kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
