Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

[Lucky]

It might have already been mentioned already that this was last year. I believe we are in 2015. Missed it by that much!

EDIT: Sorry I should have read down a little further. That's what I get for trying to be a smart a$$!

At least you noticed the first time. I needed a hint. Better to be a smart a$$ than a dumb a$$.

That's my motto!

We had to park almost a mile away in Flushing Meadows Park - which coincidentally is the old Worlds Fair grounds so I got pretty close up to the "remains" and got a few cool shots:

Flushing Meadows Park is SO cool.

That's a long walk. Did they have shuttles?

The shuttles were a joke - they drove you about halfway there - past all the cool stuff and the Tennis center - and then you had to walk up 2 flights of stairs to the Long Island Railroad station, across a boardwalk about the length of a football field, back down 2 flights of stairs, through the subway terminal, back up and down another flight of stairs and then you were at Citi Field. And it was $22.50 to park there!!! I need to map it later - it was ridiculous. Luckily our seats were insane so we really didn't care. And we walked the whole way back and it was a really cool walk - I've never been there before and really enjoyed it.

In the "Yes I'm that old" category - I remember going there when the World's Fair was really there.

His "sharky-sense" must be on the fritz.

I bet it didn't cost $22.50 to park back then!

Nah - we took a bus.

Nah - we took a bus.

That must have been less prestigious.

No, it was a modern progressive bus.

We have NO Ben & Jerry's close to me. Actually there's one in a nearby movie theater but I'm not going there just for a free cone.
