My Dad Agrees (Maybe)

Nick and I were deep in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, this afternoon when I noticed an older woman wearing a Knoebel's (PA amusement park) t-shirt.

Me: Hey! Knoebel's!

The woman, totally confused, stares at me and then slowly looks at her chest.

Old Woman: Sorry, I wasn't sure if I was wearing that t-shirt today. I couldn't remember.

Me: Sorry. It's just that I grew up about forty-five minutes from there.

Old Woman: You left Pennsylvania for HERE?

Me: (laughing) Yeah...

Old Woman: YOU IDIOT! I'm hoping to win Lotto just to move there!


Reason #1511 going to Greenpoint is like visiting another country.

Home Sweet Home (Greenpoint).

By the way, I was doing a walk of shame at about 8am last Thursday in your hood and was wondering if I'd hear "Frank! What happened this time?!" Haha

By the way, that was me who posted that above. I forgot to log out of my review blog.
