Sitting way up in the bleechers at Shea, eating peanuts and drinking orangeade. Man they had great peanuts at Shea, fresh roasted and in paper bags. And listening to Jane Jarvis play that mighty Wurlitzer. She really knew how to get the crowd going, with her renditions of "Meet the Mets" and "Take Me Out To The Ball Game"! The Wurlitzer is long gone and replaced by recorded rock. I wonder if the new Citipark will have an organ. I doubt it. 

Shea was a beauty before they did a modernization job on it!

Speaking of chocolate milk. Add a grilled cheese sandwich with some green chili between the cheese and I'm set!

Gawd....those damn things...get me introuble every freakin time.  Not to mention that just before I popped open this topic..I had just shoved down the last peep i had.  Every time I walk into a store and they ahve them...I pick up a package....hell for 99cents..you cant afford not to buy em.  Im just glad now that htey have them for all the holidays......kinda takes the fun out of it....but I have even noticed they have 4th of July stars out too ..and halloween, thanksgiving...and christmas and they came out wiht a new one this past year....strawberry flavored hearts for valentines day..mmmmmmmmm those were good. 

So I will have to say Peeps and Reese's Cups will always be on the top of my list for candy snacks.

Very distinctly and fondly remind me of my childhood summers spent on Catalina Island.

I remember too...back at the county fairs and stuff they would have those crispy Elephant ears....big ol pastry type thing with tons of cinanmon and sugar.  They still have them occasionally but they arent the same.  From my childhood i remember them being really thin and crispy...now they are kinda fluffy and soft......
