Croton Memories
My phone number used to be 4 digits.
I went ice skating on the Duck Pond and Kaplan’s Pond.
I hiked in the ruins.
I got a “mix” from Croton Deli and drove the loop endlessly.
I bought toy mice in outfits and menagerie animals at Wondrous Things.
I walked to Elliott’s at lunch and bought Bingo’s penny candy and Jolly Rancher sticks.
I would go to Croton Creamy after softball and joked that the bug zapper made free “sprinkles.”
At the AFS Fair, I bought tickets for the M*A*S*H tent and took a ride in a stretcher.
I walked from PVC to Chicken Galore and ordered Jockos.
I was in a bowling league at Starlight Lanes on Saturday mornings.
I remember my parents dancing to the jukebox at Honey’s.
I owned 22 Chu-Bops – the 3x3 bubblegum candy records - from Book and Record.
I went to keggers in the woods at Spencer (and many other spots!).
I ate gravy fries at 4 a.m. at the Croton Colonial Diner (usually after said kegger).
I still need the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich from Mini Deli.
I loved the quarter pushing game at the Fireman’s Bazaar, even though I never won.
The Rocky Balboa was my favorite sandwich at Volker’s.
I sledded at the Dam (even though we weren’t supposed to).
I bet you did, too, and aren't we the luckiest for it?
