The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

I was born and raised in New Jersey where tomatoes are king, and I've not ever been able to find any like you can get there since I moved away. No, I don't think I'd even think of moving back just for those Jersey tomatoes though.

Either it is true that I have become "old and senile", or you never mentioned being born in "the lost continent"
( as comedian Jean Shepherd ), use to call it on his WOR radio late night show.

We grew up " almost neighbors", me on the south shore of Long Island, where Potatoes, not Tomatoes were king.
I think Tomatoes were "queen" :o

Spent the first 18 years of my life in Kearny, overlooking the vast meadow between our town and Jersey City. I could see part of the NYC skyline from our kitchen window and in the early 50's I could hear the piledrivers all day long as they were building the Jersey Turnpike on the other side of this meadow. I did get out to Long Island a few times, but didn't make a habit of it, although I did like riding the Long Island Ferry just for the ride...
