1. A very long time ago when I was young..

My boyfriend n I went to NYC a week before Christmas. He had been stationed there during Viet Nam.. I said it was a while ago! I was like a wide eyed kid looking at all the lights n decorating n how cold it was! A perfect setting for a Florida girl never seeing such sights. This picture reminds me of that holiday trip. Thanks. Happy Holidays 🎄

5. I miss NYC

I grew up living in the suburbs, a 50-minute train ride to 42nd Street from Connecticut. It was such a rush exiting Grand Central and smelling those fumes. Christmas was a real treat.

7. I grew up in Jersey

where it was a 50 minute train ride coming in to Penn Station.

It was such a treat to come to the city to see the tree at Rockefeller Center and walk Fifth Ave to see all the fabulous window displays:Saks, Lord & Taylor, Bonwit Teller, Bergdorf's...in the late '50's and early 60's. Such memories.

And fuck Donald Trump for destroying the art work that was in and on the Bonwit Teller building.

9. Yes! and Times Square before it was Disneyfied.

It was gritty and at least had character. We'd eat at Romeo's Italian Kitchen on 42nd St. The Planters store had Mr. Peanut in the window tapping on the glass with his cane. It was a real thrill shopping at Macy's where they had escalators!

6. I've lived in Midtown East for 25 years now

Funny how it seems so normal being here most of the time. I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia in NJ, I've lived in cities ever since I was in College.
