Hi All,
Anyone recall a place called the wedge in? I believe it was in The Bronx or maybe Pelham.. Dad would take me there back in the early 70's. I was maybe 3 or 4, but damn I remember their meatballs... All I remember was it seemed to be at the bottom of a street and a squarish counter with stools in the middle... I left New York in 1990, and the memories haunt me... I really miss it. However, spending time on Arf would have you think it was the worst place in the world..

New York is definitely ( ok California is a close dueling banjo) the worst state for gun owners without a doubt. At least California has good weather and lots of beaches. Both these states are in a race to the bottom as far as being livable for the average ( or even above average) working person. At some point both states will have only three groups of people 1) the poor or barely surviving either welfare mooches or those scraping by working low end service jobs
2) government employees 3) very wealthy elitists |

Ok, fine.
But growing up there in the 70s and 80s was pretty fucking awesome, regardless of what people say. |

Thanks for that. Having been back a few times, it always amazed me how they just keep building and building.

Even on Long Island the 70's were great for most of us. The stuff we kids could do is not even imagined by today's kids. It all boils down to "safety". We rode bikes everywhere and stayed out until after dark. Sleigh riding in the sumps. Riding in the back of the station wagon. Exploring the woods nearby. That's just off the top of my head. |

The movie “A River Runs Through It” reminds me of all the time I spent visiting family in the Catskills. Not necessarily the fishing, but the waters, the rocks, the old mountains. It was like they were always there, ever peaceful, and will be there long after we are gone.

I'm reminded of Tad's Steaks.
I miss them. They were't THE best steak houses, but if you're in the mood for a Decent steak they were hard to beat for the price. I could never understand why the potato was always larger than the steak. |
