The parking lot at Sea Breeze Amusement Park was full last night and at first I thought it might be open for the season but I know that doesn’t happen until Memorial Day. Then I spotted a sign that read “Summer Employee Applicants Parking.”
My father called and asked if we wanted to go down to Vic’s Place for dinner. Peggi thought we were talking about Nick’s so my dad decided to go there. The place was packed. I have never seen it that crowded. “Slammed” as they say in the restaurant business. Nick never even got over to our table to shoot the shit. My parents always forget to ask them to hold the olives on their salads and that works out good for me as they both pick them out and pass them on. Peggi and I both had the Manicotti and brought half of it home.
After dinner we rode down to the bridge that has swung open for the year and my father said, “Every year Chuck Schumer and the woman from Marge’s get their picture taken out on the bridge (as they make their case for a year-round bridge) and nothing ever happens.” As we looked out at the bay he told us how strange it was that no one has ever developed this idyllic spot. As we drove by Vic’s’ new spot on “hot dog row” it looked as though they were doing a good business as well. I think people around here just like it funky.
