grayhair Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I grew up in S. Jersey back in the early '60's. And, it was a "Garden State" back then. Thousands of acres of tomatoes and carrots grown there for Campbell's Soup, Camden, NJ. And lots of small farms growing melons, peaches, pole limas, and corn that they would sell at roadside stands. The corn was so fresh and so good, my Mom would ask the farmer how long ago it was picked. If over 4 hours ago, she'd go to the next stand down the road. Sadly, seem like you just can't get that kind of delicious fresh vegetables an more. And, a dozen ears of Silver King white corn, $.59 dozen. Them waz the days... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bullhusk Posted June 3, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2014 I was raised in Kearny nj a big Irish town! I couldn't figure why these people would take a perfectly good piece a meat an Boil it?? Argyle Fish an Chips, well it was a town of about 45,000 and most lots were 50+100 but I had the meadowlands about a half a mile from my house! So I got ta hunt an fish as a kid an also explore snake hill an the old hospital on the hill ( it's that big mountain on the eastern side a the NJTP past the meadowlands that they blasted for stone) not a bad town but I could not wait until I could get to the country, I new I had it in my blood when we used to hunt the swamps an fish the creeks an rivers so I guess I was a city swamp slicker? My dad used to get the United Farm Magazine as a kid and he would say 'some day I'm gonna buy us a farm in NY State so we could go there in the summer' well he worked 7 days a week for us! An then my Mom got sick an he took care of her at home for the first 11 years of his retirement. After her passing he lived 4 years until he was 80 so he never made it. But one day I took him with me after mom passed ( was the only time he got to leave the house) we went to the Summer Nationals in E-Town NJ and took him up to Hunterdon County to my home for a couple a days it was a very special time in my life cause the only time he got to see me an my kids was at the Kearny house every week an to get him away from that house was almost impossible! I could see in his glassy eyes how he new that even though he couldn't get out I did an now he had the place in the country any time he wanted it! But to see him at [E-Town (was a big Chrysler man) just lookin at those top fuel dragsters with 331,354,392 HEMI'S in his mind that's what thay where and to see Kenny Bernstein go 305 mph as fast as you could say his name just blew him away! So today my friends on my birthday I took some time to look back , I hope I didn't bore anyone but it just felt good to remember a very special time in my life that maybe with Fathers Day commin up an your Dads are still with us..... Go take him out go to the track, a ball game or even to work an then the bar after work! Cause one day after all the thinks you did together when you was a kid you will always remember this one when you took control an gave him a day or 2 or 3Ernie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoClueJoe66 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 You didn't bore me buddy, I lost my father in 2001 & wish everyday I had got to spend more time with him.....glad you got to take your father out and spend quality time with him before he passed, the little things like that are the best memories. Hope you had a good birthday buddy & have a good one Quote This message was brought to you by Hargraves Potted Meat Product.

2stacksuperdog Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I was watchin somethin earlier and they said the only reason its the Garden State is because chemical wasteland dont have as nice of a ring to it.

grayhair Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I grew up in Moorestown, only 15,000 population back in the '60s. Moorestown has grown a lot since then and much different now. Jersey was nice but I had wonderlust after high school. Moved to Buffalo, then Rochester, then Philly, Miami, Daytona, Tampa, Houston, Tulsa, and now the last 30 years here in Dallas. I like the wide open spaces here and the attitude - which is you can do pretty much any damn thing you want to do as long as you don't interfere with somebody else doing what they want on their property. Oh yeah, and no state income tax. Jersey was OK but no way I'm moving back. To each his own - makes the world go 'round... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
