10. When I was young (and was being chased by a T-Rex...)

...I was poor. Couldn't afford RRock. Five of us from college drove to the beer distributor (it's a PA thing.) The beer we could afford was $4.75 a case for pony cans. It was called Fox Head 400. To pay for this we all pooled coins and searched the seats of my '66 Caprice. (Sorry planet Earth, 6-9 mpg city.)

Drove to my then girlfriend's mother's place in Brigantine to following weekend. I had a paycheck that Friday from part time work which was around $65. Went to beach, proposed a year later at the beach, got married a year after that at a church with a really long aisle. We now avoid Brigantine like its Covid since the mother-in-law still lives there.

Maybe Asbury Park would be better.

I LOVE LENNY'S HOT DOGS. We frequented the location in NE Philly.
Ocean City boardwalk was amazing as well as Wildwood.

OT: Best crab cakes were at a place in Elkton, MD.

To quote a line from movie character played by John Houseman, "I miss that kind of clarity."

Thanks for this.
