Message:: [QUOTE="Ripley, post: 1158470, member: 19199"][ATTACH]120184.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]120185.vB[/ATTACH]Thank you Krispy.  Brings back many happy memories.  So long ago,  many a day I would spend the day fishing off the old crossbay bridge.  I remember diving off the Rockaway side, around 60 feet to the water as a kid.  There was a great bar just off Flatbush Ave on the Brooklyn side that had great steamers.  I can still hear Nat King Coles song "Lazy hazy crazy days of summer" playing in the background.  Many a time I crossed that Railroad bridge across from Howard beach.  So they named the Marine parkway bridge after Gil Hodges, I like that.  Crossing time and space with my memories brings me back to the happiest time of my life.  I suppose blood worms are still the most expensive meat per pound on the planet. Take care Krispy. Flashbacks - New York City Aquarium, Wonder Wheel at Coney Island, taking a party boat out of Sheepshead Bay, 1964 Worlds Fair Unisphere with Captain Keds jumping over it with his jet pack and of course Rockaway Playland. Just some childhood memory fragments.  Here is my favorite Mexican coin. [/QUOTE]
