Recommendations - the perfect climate?

Sue said when I was growing up in Brooklyn, I took the bus or subway

When I was growing up in Brooklyn, I took the trolley car - much more
fun.

One can only assume, Eileen, that you're a world-class beauty!

She won't answer, but in those days, there was none to compare with.

Bad answer, man. "in THOSE days....was."

I remember the trolley cars and they were fun!! We will have to talk
about Brooklyn when we are on the Conquest together.

Maybe it's the NY in me, but I find, for example, "Zolst leben un zein
gezunt!" has just that little more to it [and is just more fun to
say] than
"You should live and be well!".

We are so far OT, that I have taken this to private e-mail.


No fair!! I was really enjoying this.

OK, Eileen, the real computer maven, is setting up some kind of Brooklyn
Yahoo group that we can all chat on.

They [drivers] undoubtedly pay no attention to them anyhow... kind of
like
NYC cabbies. Trying to get a Manhattan cabbie to take you into
Brooklyn can
be maddening. (I do, by the way [and it's way too complicated a story

even
verbal ones] there are only considered binding if in Portuguese.}



Tee hee. The way I used to get a cab to Brooklyn as a teenager was to
get IN the cab before I told the driver where I wanted to go. This
always worked.



When I was growing up in Brooklyn I didn't take cabs, just used the bus
or the subway.

Obviously, Sue, you were not a princess. Eileen, on the other hand, is
descended from true royalty, if ya know what I mean.

Okay, before everyone starts flaming us for talking way off topic, I've
set up a yahoogroup. You can write to



or go to

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/growingupinbrooklyn/

Haven't done anything with yahoogroups in a long time, so don't expect
anything!

I was fun, Florence. As a kid, I would always play at the wheel on
whatever end was the back of the trolly during my ride.

I'm not from Brooklyn, but I'm still upset that "Brooklyn Bridge" was cancelled
after being on the air such a short time.
