Demolishing of the Old Yankee Stadium
I overheard some guys at Friday night’s game talking about the demolition of the old Yankee stadium. It seems the Yankee organization has promised to build a three baseball field park in the space where the old stadium now resides. Local residents are all for this option, but architects and city historians are concerned about losing completely the old ballpark completely.
Seems to me that if you decided to go the route of building something new, you really no longer cared much about the old thing. Granted I don’t live in the area, and didn’t grow up in the shadow of the stadium. If I had, perhaps I’d have a different feeling about the whole thing.
What I do know is that whenever the decide to bring the old park down, I really want to be in New York City to witness the event. I’ve already bookmarked a number of websites where I am constantly checking the latest hotel specials. If I’m able to get a great deal on lodging and can budget for the travel, I’m going to be there to witness the hysteria!
Until then of course, I need to continue working my day job. In fact, I’m at JFK Airport right now waiting for my flight down to Charlotte, NC. Not sure if I ever mentioned it on this site before but I actually lived in Charlotte as a kid. I know that I went to school through the second grade and lived right here. I don’t remember the exact address, but who can remember exactly where they lived when they were in the second grade!
Hopefully, I’ll get some time to take the rental car and drive around the old neighborhood while I’m down that way. This is the first time I’ve been back to North Carolina since we moved from there to Sebring, Florida. I’m already beginning to remember some of the times I had growing up in the Charlotte area. Some of them did include the police, but I was rehabilitated so not to worry!
