Take me back...

Take me back to the ball game
take me back to my youth...

I remember when Shea Stadium was new and and the "World's Fair" was the event. My brother and I went on the second day, since we figured that the first would be too crowded. I returned many times, since it was the best place for a teen and only a short ride from Great Neck on the LIRR.

Now, since NYC's mayor Bloomberg lost his bid/attempt to build an enormous sports stadium in Manhattan, he's thinking of rejuvenating Shea. Anything to bring the Olympics to Olympian New York City!

  1. While I think it would be a security nightmare for a city that's already been through the mill, I truly wish NYC could get the Olympics. It'd be a tremendous boost.

  2. Security, not easy, but if anybody from the 3rd world wants to start a new life, it would be easy to disappear.
