No need to repeat what I wrote a year ago http://journals.aol.com/bruces8852/BrucesJournal/entries/2006/05/25/my-yearly-visit-to-rego-park/322
This year I walked to the Queens Center Mall and noted that it was greatly enlarged since I last visited there. Back in 1962 my Bar Mitzvah reception was at a restaurant on Queens Blvd. one block away from the Rego Park Jewish Center called Le Flamboyan. It closed years ago, but until recently there was a furniture store on that site. Within the last year it became a men's clothing outlet.
This afternoon Karen and I walked to the Macy's in downtown Flushing and did some shopping for clothing. When Lee came back from school we walked over to Uncle Bill's Diner for dinner. It is nice not to have to travel to Jersey to feel frustrated.

I had my Bar Mitzvah at Leonard's of Great Neck. I had a roaring cold and didn't enjoy myself. Larry Stahl and a bunch of girls from school were there and I couldn't wait for it to end. It did, finally.
It's nice to get into this whole memory thing. Up until now, I didn't know anything about blogs. I will use them more often,
