Driving was no problem as long as I paid attention to the Yellow Perils
(taxi cabs). Parking was the real hassle. Wound up putting the car in a
parking garage and riding the subways - which were a nickle a ride back
then. I see they're now up to U$1.25.  OWTCH!

Heck, we went from the East Village (before it was a fashionable area)
out to Coney Island for just 5c there and 5c home. Had Coney Island hot
dogs - which were nothing like what is sold as a Coney Dog these days.
