Good point.

LOL. They probably are.
Really, I can’t stop laughing.

My ship was in dry dock at the Brooklyn Navy Ship Yard, twice: 1960-early ‘61 and 1961-early ‘62.

Went to Times Square twice the first time. Saw the Rockettes and the movie Spartacus. Plus hit a few bars. Times Square offered nothing else that 18 y/o from Texas had any interest in seeing/doing.

Rest of my times in NYC were spent at Moriarty’s on Kings Hwy. in Bklyn. They would “sweep” us out the door at 4 am and we’d walk back to the shipyard. Sobered us up when temp was in single digits and snow covered the streets.

I know the area well, it's where my parents first met after WWII.
She was a Navy nurse and he was a Marine guard.
I also had relatives who lived in the Vinegar Hill area.
