When they raised the subway fare from five to ten cents in 1953 (it hadn't changed since the end of the 1880s) there was screaming and yelling like the end of the world! Imagine paying the double fare and then going in for a slice of pizza!

Da Knicks of the mid 90's Harper, Starks, Mason, Oakley, and Ewing. Also the disappointment of the knicks not winning the championship

I miss the delis,
Mom& Pop corner stores
staying in shape, by walking city blocks for miles
Jewish corned beef and pastrami sandwiches on rye
Oh and BTW Pizza Pies, potato knishes
and my friends that are still living
walking the overpass at Hofstra University and going to Point Lookout
fresh fish and real chinese cuisine, the whole ball of wax
The F train and D train

You can still do all those things today. The D-train has changed a little over the years.
