    The last time NYC was great was when they had a Republican mayor. Giuliani cleaned up the streets, but then there's been a slew of Lefties that have since destroyed it again. Sad to see 🙈

    Been there a half dozen times between '07-'19. Would stay a week in Manhattan each time. It was fine, and in Brooklyn where my kid lived, everytime. Would take the subway back and forth, never a problem. Worse thing was rats would run in an out of the walls in the subway station by him at night, they were kind of cute. There was no decline of any kind during the 12 years I went there, had lots of fun, never felt uncomfortable. Covid began the downfall and what happened after I wouldn't put on the Mayor as so many want to.

    My Trump loathing diehard LW kid who loved NYC, moved there in 2007, is holding out hope for Cuomo and that he can do something "Guilianiesque". Last I was there was 2019, it was great. He moved to Paris right after that, came back in 2023. He said it surprised him how bad it was and that I wouldn't enjoy it there, don't bother visiting. Best thing that has happened there since he moved back was a Wegmans in Manhattan.

     

    It's sad

    The Beach Boys had more talent and better music than the Beetles. Debate me - go ahead - you can't. 

     

    The Beetles are the most overrated band in history and look a mile down to the second place band - Nirvana and Nirvana's step son Foo Fighters.

    The Beetles rooled! Nervaina iz awwsome.

    HFD! My 87 y.o. Father is coming over. A full day of hearing how tough it is for him. I mean I get it. He can only ride his bike for 7 miles. He can only walk 3 miles a day. He recently started to wake up at night to pee. He doesn’t wear glasses, hears fine and just dug out a 100 ft. hedgerow, clears and snow blows his 130 ft. driveway, cleans his 1600 sq. ft. house, it’s pretty much spotless. New car every 3 years, drives everywhere. Doesn’t bemoan being alone.
     

    …..and tell him he’s fortunate? I don’t dare.

     

    (just to add, my brother, sister and myself are definitely fortunate)

    This what we got because there was Disco. The Universe spoke to us, and said STOP IT! 

    The restaurant/bar I worked at in the late ‘70’s was a hopping’ Disco, lines out the door year round. Started there as a long hair dishwasher, thought this music….ugh. It all changed when I started waiting tables late night as the only male, got a haircut and, well I made a lot of money, especially ladies night. 😏

    Thanks, Egg! Wish I could rap, or had the desire. I’d flow over my own beats 😅

    About 25 yrs. ago, my oldest, seemingly overnight, had a full on rap metamorphosis. Snoop, Method Man, Wu-Tang, DMX….became all my favorites(sarcasm). Ironically, it’s about when I started having to bail him out. He’s bustin’ rock now….concrete.

    This is a really weird thread.  
     

    the Yankees took out their brooms in KC tonight.  Mahomes sat front row watching his team lose this week.

     

    now if we could just get the other New York team to win in KC.

    Thanks, I’m in the 7th inning watching it on DVR.

    One of the greatest. Aside from the sun, nothing says summer more than a Beach Boys song. Liked them so much I bit the bullet for this hard to find CD couple years back. The quality is amazing.

    My mother introduced me to the Beach Boys, as well as Elvis and The Four Seasons. She played their 45’s. I remember it to be around ‘65, me being 6 or 7, I know that because we still lived in a basement apt. in the city and moved soon after. I was the oldest, my mother was 17 when I was born. Just one of those childhood memories that happens to be fond is all.

    Who knows with the A's.  I'll correct that number to between 30k-33k according to Google 

    Still, with downsizing of new baseball stadiums that’s been going on, tickets have got to be up there. I haven’t gone to a game in 20 years, maybe it’s not as bad as I’m thinking.
