Once Upon A Time #11
Years ago there was a 25 or 50 cent vacation.....You left
your home and walked one-half of a mile to your nearest
New York City subway stop....After paying the 10 cent
fare you would spend the next hour or so on a train.....
If you wanted to ride in the daylight your transferred
to the 3rd Avenue Elevated train.....A fun ride indeed.....
Ten cents took you to the water at the tip of Manhattan
Island.....Buy a soft pretzel and, after smelling the salt
water, take another subway or El ride back home.....
When you were rich and had 50 cents it was off to
Coney Island for a hot dog and maybe an amusement
ride.....Today 50 cents buys no memories....Pumps
