Trivia from back in the day ?????

I remember going to Prospect Park Zoo alot.
I can picture a gorilla in a cage ....

Does anyone remember this ....or was I dreaming?

I CAN TELL YOU FOR A FACT THERE WAS NEVER A GORILLA THERE

1ST OF ALL WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME SUSAN? YOU NEVER CALLED ME THAT BEFORE....AND YOUR WORRYING ME.

2ND ......I LIKE A GUY WHO IS TUFF BUT RESPECTFUL

3RD .....YOU ARE FEELING OK ...RIGHT?

YES
I JUST DONT WANT THE BLOG POLICE SAYING THINGS ABOUT US

SO ITS NICE NICE

IT WAS A BIG CAGE ....KIND OF ROUNDED ON TOP .....ON A CORNER
IN THE ZOO!

YES THAT WAS THE WILD BIRDS CAGE

IT WAS ROUND IRON BLACK IN COLOR WITH A POINTEY TOP

I REMEMBER THIS SO WELL ....IT HAD TO BE THE PROSPECT PARK ZOO!

I DONT REMEMBER GOING TO THE BRONX ZOO BACK THEN......I ALSO
REMEMBER THE BOTANICAL GARDENS ......AND WATCHING SOME SORT OF PARADE IN THE STREETS BY WETSONS (HAMBURGER PLACE)

THERE WHERE LOTS OF MONKEYS ELEFANT BEARS LAMAS BIRDS SEALS
BUT NO GORILLAS

YES !! BUT IM VISUALIZING A GORILLA IN IT ...AND BEING AFRAID TO GO NEAR THAT CAGE....WAS I DREAMING ?????

NOPE ILL CALL MY FRIEND TOMOROW SHE WORK FOR THE P.P ALLIANCE

I'm figuring I'm too young to remember a gorilla in the prospect park zoo

NO THAT CAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY TO SMALL FOR A GORILLA

OHHH GOOD .....BECAUSE IM CURIOUS ....IF I REALLY DID
SEE IT...BACK THEN!


ANOTHER THING I WAS AFRAID OF ....WAS WALKING ON THE PIER
IN CONEY ISLAND .....MY DAD LIKED TO WALK TO THE END TO SEE
WHAT THEY WERE CATCHING (FISH)

I REMEMBER WALKING IN THE MIDDLE ....AND TRYING NOT TO GO
BY THE EDGES .........AND AT THE END IT WENT TO A TEE...I THINK

YES YOU WHERE DREAMING

OR MAYBE TRIPING

NO ......IT WAS A HUGE CAGE

TRIPPING ....LOL ......I WONT EVEN TAKE THE CRAP FOR MY POISON IVY

I HIGHLY DOUBT IT ......AND I WASNT MARRIED YET ....SO I STILL HAD A BRAIN

OK THERE YOUR RIGHT THE PIER
AND IT WAS UNSAFE NEAR THE SIDES ONLY WOODEN TYPE GAURD RAIL

AND THERE WAS NO GORILLA THERE EITHER

YOU SEE.....I USED TO SHIT A PILL ....SERIOUSLY EVERY SUNDAY GOING TO FREAKIN CONEY ISLAND ......BECAUSE OF THAT PIER.

I ALSO .....REMEMBER MY DAD GOING INTO A BAR FOR A BEER ....AND THERE WERE COWBOY LOOKING GUYS ....PLAYING MUSIC ON STAGE

NOOOO I KNOW THAT .....IT WAS AT THE ZOO ...TRUST ME!

hey Michael....I didnt know you popped in on the other page ....you aint that much younger than me ......LOL

I LOVED THAT BAR WHEN I WAS A KID MY GRANDMA WOULD TAKE ME ON SATURDAY ALOT OF WELL KNOWN SINGERS CAME OUT OF THERE
ITS STILL THERE TODAY WITH ALL ITS PHOTOS ON THE WALLS
THEY WHERE COUNTRY WESTERN SINGERS THE BAR WAS OWNED BY AN IRISH GUY MR.MC.DUGALL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT MY GRANDMA WAS IRISH MS.KEHO WAS HER MAIDEN NAME

YEAH ....I CAN SEE MY MOM'S EYES LIGHTING UP ...CHECKING OUT THOSE GUYS ON STAGE WITH THERE BOOTS....AND MY DAD SAYING ...OK LETS GO .....AND SHE WOULD SAY .....LETS STAY TILL THEY FINISH SINGING!
