City Beach

I love the smell of hot concrete sprayed with water and hamburgers and french fries wafting through the neighborhood Castle Restaurant. Summer in the city!
When I was a kid we'd go to Saxon Woods Pool and my mother would sunbathe while I swam my head off in the ice-cold water. Afterwards we'd squeeze our bathing suits out using the ringer. By then we were hungry and we'd beg my mother to buy us something from the concession stand. She never liked to buy food out in the world. You bought groceries once a week and made your own delicious food. One day she bought me a warm pre-made hamburger that came in a sealed cellophane bag. It was dreadful!
