Cool. Suwannee is about an hour northeast of where I live! I was born in West Jersey hospital in Camden. My father's mother's father moved to Camden from Philly around 1890. So she was born in Camden. They lived in the Pyne Point area. My father grew up swimming in the Cooper River. I think he swam some in the Delaware too, but by the time I was old enough, the Delaware had dead fish everywhere. We were 2 miles from the Delaware and the Red Bank battlefield (in West Deptford). So basically my father grew up in North Camden and I lived in East Camden around the Dudley Park area, with my mother living all over the county! And we were actually supposed to moved to Marlton originally! Don't know what happened there, but I well remember the trip. The realtor slammed on the brakes throwing my younger brother and me into the front seats! Didn't feel so good! No seat belts in cars back then! I've looked up the area my father lived as I have his addresses. Ray Street has been totally mowed down. The other row homes have had some from the middle of others demolished. They look funny standing alone. The homes were built around 1910, so were about 20 years old when my father lived in them. There is a website dedicated to Camden that is interesting.... dvrbs I think. It has the house I lived in when it was in the paper in the 1930s because the lady and her sons living there were running a still in the basement! I requested a more current picture of the house and they put one up! Looks totally different from when I lived there. Well, that's my genealogy lesson for the day!!

New Yorker here, too. Although I live in Canada now, I am still a proud New Yorker. Raised there, moved away but returned in the 80s. Love it forever. New Yorkers can be gruff, but they can be kind, helpful, and full of good intentions and opinions about everything. And they definitely know how to give good and fast service! Best city in the world.
And the best medical institutions!
I've not heard of The Time InBetween. What's it about? I'm one episode from finishing Grace and Frankie, and run out of series to binge watch.
Even though we've veered away from knee talk, perhaps we are starting to think of other things again besides knees. Except, of course, Dianehelen..........sorry. But we will be totally on topic for you, not to worry.

No worries, you can chat in my thread, I love learning about who we are, other than our bum knees
The more stuff I have to read here, the more it distracts me from the terror looming ahead

Hey as I said above, I crave and enjoy the distraction, please dont stop.
The time inbetween is about "guns, gowns, & nazis" ;-)
I'm loving it as a history lover and a lover of romance languages. My spanish comprehension is probably about 60%, so I can just glance at the subs. But it is a beautufully filmed piece, set in a fascinating time period of the Spanish civil war, which was kinda a test war, or kindling for WWII, which many are not very aware of, as the world war came on its heels and totally eclipsed it to the general public.
It is in Spanish, with English subtitles,
The Time In Between is a rambunctious romp through 1930s Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, seen through the eyes of the effortlessly charming and altogether electric Sira . The series weaves her soap opera of a life in and out of some of the most important events in Spanish history. We watch as she meets a dark charmer, inherits a fortune, gets whisked off to Tangiers, finds herself knocked up, loses everything, and then rebuilds herself as a gunrunner-turned-couturier-turned-Allied spy.

Ooh, I found it. It's not available on Canada Netflix...we are definitely deprived here, also deprived of Amazon.com, but I have a VPN which, so far, is working. Netflix threatened to block them but so far, so good. I watched the first episode already and love it. Love the theme and I understand about oh 25% of the Castilian Spanish, but there are subtitles. So far I can get it on the computer, then stream thru Apple TV to my big screen tv. Happy to find a new show.

Oh excellent @mamazipp I'm heavily addicted, it is such a good story and I just love Sira. Ya the Castillian dialect is a bit different but I'm doing pretty good filtering thru the "th" substitution for soft "c" , etc. It's kinda like the Sephartic vs Ashkenazi dialects in Hebrew. Different but similar. I hope you can keep watching.
Bummer than Canadian netflix is different. Hmm may have to rethink my possible post election relocation
Ha!

Jerseyite here too! Lived the first 50 years of my life there. I grew up in beautiful Jersey City. I could get to NYC (New York City) in 30 minutes or less. Of course being that close we rarely did.

Do you happen to remember Freedomland? I95 was built right through it.
Also Storybookland. I think it was in Asbury Park.

I try to tell myself the word terror is only in my head because I learned it's in the dictionary! Along with words like arthritis, surgery, pain, etc. Don't want to hear the a word or the s word anymore! Lol And pain is a 4 letter word!

I remember palisades amusement park. It was such a great landmark from across the river. Then it was gone.
@dianehelen my friends and I used to go up on the rooftops across from Ebbets Field ( I lived in Crown Heights) and watch games. Couldn't hear anything but it still was fun.
Yea there's a lot you give up in Canada. Let's see....Netflix access, streaming from major US networks, Tarjeh (Target), Amazon, EBay....(they are available but shipping is prohibitive,)lots of the standard discount stores, CHOICE in medical care, timely access to medical care.....,.but, no or few guns, peaceful nation, no extreme political idiocy.... Liberal social programs, new moms get almost a year off for mat leave with guaranteed job held....not that you'll be needing it, but it speaks to the social progressiveness.
Canadian taxes much higher!!!
@newlybionic my in laws from far out in Brooklyn never went into Manhattan either.

Ahh memories..
"last night I took a walk in the dark, a swingin' place called Palisades Park
To have some fun and see what I could see
(That's where the girls are)"
Who sang it? No googling

I'm probably wrong about the song Diane, but Frankie Avalon is my guess. I did not look it up - just in the remote possibility I could be right. Now I'm going to look it up.
P.S. Ok. I was way way off on that one.

Nope, A one hit wonder, Freddie (boom bom) Cannon. Avalon a good guess, as he was a frequent performer there. I went to palisades park many many times
Here is some nostalgia for us oldies but moldies. I even remember the theme song, that is shown here before the song, enjoy!

Seaside Heights pier with all the rides were washed out by hurricane Sandy a few years ago. The rebuilt a lot of the boardwalk and then there was a fire just before it was completed. I've never been to the other parks. I missed out on them. There was a very small one in Bayonne called Uncle Milty's my dad would take us to occasionally and we all had fun.
