Sounds like my time in Lake Charles (grew up there), although I can’t complain about Phoenix (currently 75). An afternoon cup sounds like a good idea :).
Yep...thankfully I’ve never had a desire to go to any of those places. I never drove in Britain on either of my trips, but my son and I rented a car in Belgium, and drove to the town in Holland that my Dad was born in. They had a lot of rotaries, but at least they drive on the right side of the road so they’re easier to navigate.
Agree. To Erie pa.
Hi. Passed through Phoenix on the way, when left San Bernardino, CA, enroute to Long Island, NY, ( in November)!!!
Yup, left ye olde family stomping grounds ... both Mojave and German ancestry in SoCal, and headed towards cold, snowy, NY. Community Coffee. Mmm!
Long Island in Nov - yikes!
Haha - my mom (at almost 94) drinks 2-3 pots of Community every day. Probably a big reason why she’s made it to 94!
It’s tough to argue over a Utica Club
There’s all kinds of those things popping up in your neck of the woods these days.
Yes and snowmobiling was great up there!!!!
I do miss Raisin Toast and John at the Grill at Wade’s Diner. Best grill cook on the planet.
Fake news. Nothing. A standard winter’s day in Buffalo. Not enough to shovel the driveway.
I'm from 90638.
It’s been fantastic, last year was a mostly mild winter here in Chi and I was worried about this year but it’s been even milder.
Of course Father Paul pays me to shovel his snow...
Yep - I grew up in Rochester, NY and we had a couple real doozies of blizzards in late 60s early ‘70s...and there are also earlier recorded blizzards...
“The Blizzard of 1966 brought 13.8 inches of snow to Washington, but it was across much of central and western New York where weather history was made 50 years ago this weekend. Snowfall totals were eye-popping, ranging from 2 to 8 ½ feet of snow.”
“3. December 26, 1947
A white Christmas might be a dream, but this Boxing Day storm was a nightmare. The Great Blizzard of 1947 left many people stranded with diminished food supplies and no coal for heat for days, and it killed 77 people. A then-record 26.4 inches was measured in Central Park.”
“4. March 11-14, 1888
Known as The Great White Hurricane, the blizzard of 1888 affected towns from as far south as Chesapeake Bay to the northern reaches of Maine. Railways and telegraph lines went down in the storm as 50-foot snow drifts forced people to stay inside their homes. While some areas received a full 60 inches, New York City got off more mildly with a still-devastating 22 inches.”
