The "pi" was actually painted in gold, but, being outside, it faded during the years.... Did you make any of the artwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was out on their balconies taking pictures of this- all probably thinking the same thing...like...geez....just how bad is this gonna be?? Luckily, very little rain or wind came from it despite the rather foreboding look of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocono, PA. We honeymooned there 40 years ago so always nostalgic to go back and see what changes have been made! It is a terrific spot for weddings with several outdoor and indoor venues. They average about 2 weddings weekly. What a beautiful area! Great photos. We haven't been very many places in the east or on the east coast. I love all the pictures.

We were at Cape May once before - 14 years ago - stayed at the same resort. Memorytown, at one time, appeared to be going down the tubes - they were no longer renting cottages and all they had was the restaurant - and that wasn't open very often. Then, under new management, they really brought it back. Spruced the place up, reburfished the cottages, converted a barn into a lovely wedding facility, and also started doing ATV tours - hour rides on paths through the woods (at $100 a pop for the driver and something like $40 for a passenger). Restaurant went from a lunch-only (basically sandwiches, fries, etc.) place to a pretty fancy dinner-only place. Along with the weddings, I think they're in great shape. Only sad part is the beatiful indoor pool sprung a leak about 35 years ago, was never fixed, and so they filled it in. Nothing was done with it. Currently just used for storage.

Had that cool 'atom' logo on each one. I remember the super ball. When young we lived on the main street entering our town. I was bouncing my original supper ball on the front porch. It got away from me, bounced down the sidewalk and onto the street. It was bouncing up and down under a passing car. When it bounced out the back it flew wayyyyyy up in the sky. When it came down it hit the windshield of the next car and flew down the road. Never saw it again. No, the windshield did not break. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neighborhood kid was on the sidewalk yelling that the drugstore had bubble gum but by the time I got money from my mother, it was all gone. I remember when we finally got a rubber ball. It was a little smaller than a tennis ball, pink, and smelled like baby powder. We were so excited!! I was a kid during WWII but I am referring specifically to the 1950’s .

We girls used our spalding balls bouncing them and chanting "A my name is Alice and my husband's name is Al. We come from Alabama and we sell apples", turning our legs around each word that had the letter A, then B, C, etc. BTW my sister and I had lunch in Deli News, a major disappointment. I had to send my barley soup back. Before covid, it was thick, hearty with barley, mushrooms, carrots, celery in a flavorful broth. Today it tasted like plain salt water with only some barley in it. Pastrami was not the kind I remember them selling pre covid. Didn't really even look like pastrami. Wide pieces of meat with blackened edges that they passed off as pastrami. Trust me. I know my pastrami as I gather you do. THIS is what real pastrami looks like. I'm salivating 😋 : 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
