About 'eckerd college basketball'|A Short Aside








I               always               found               it               amusing               when               I               was               a               teen.

I               would               take               a               fifteen               minute               bus               ride               to               Flushing               to               hang               out               with               my               best               friends.

We               would               always               gawk               at               the               pretty               girls               and               occasionally               we               would               gather               up               the               nerve               to               talk               to               them.

In               any               conversation               of               this               type,               one               of               the               main               questions               asked               is               "So               where               are               you               from?"               As               always,               I               would               tell               them               I               lived               in               College               Point.

Wouldn't               you               know               it....

Nine               out               of               ten               times               the               reply               would               be:               "Where               is               that?"               Now,               normally               a               question               like               that               isn't               such               a               huge               deal               when               you               live               far               away               from               the               area               you               are               hanging               out               in               at               that               moment.

If               I               were               in               Chicago,               I               would               expect               it.

However,               we               would               be               standing               just               a               few               miles               from               my               town               and               almost               always               I               would               have               to               explain               where               College               Point               was.

I               always               thought               that               was               one               of               the               many               beauties               of               College               Point.

Growing               up               in               College               Point               was               great....

especially               for               me.

I               lived               right               down               the               street               from               McNeil               Park,               or               as               we               kids               called               it               -               Chisms               Park.

I               never               did               find               out               why,               but               for               some               reason               we               did.

Chisms               is               a               great               place               for               kids               to               go               and               play.

They               have               a               great               playground,               complete               with               basketball               courts,               handball               courts,               swingsets,               various               jungle               gyms               and               not               to               mention               a               sprinkler               situated               near               the               middle               for               when               the               weather               got               hot.

There               are               also               benches               and               tables               for               the               adults               to               sit               at.

Very               rarely               during               normal               hours               will               you               find               the               playground               to               be               empty.

However,               that's               just               the               beginning.

The               park               is               surrounded               on               one               side               by               the               Long               Island               Sound,               and               let               me               tell               you               something....

it               is               an               absolutely               breath               taking               view.

The               park               is               surrounded               by               a               walkway               (mostly               all               concrete)               for               joggers,               walkers               and               runners               to               exercise.

You               can               usually               find               people               jogging               in               the               early               morning               before               work.

Ther               front               entrance               also               has               a               baseball               field,               which               also               doubles               as               a               football               field               for               flag               football.

I               have               even               seen               league               soccor               matches               and               on               a               few               occasions               I               have               seen               Cricket               being               played.

The               front               field               also               sports               a               very               nice               hill.

When               the               snow               comes               down               and               blankets               the               field,               many               come               with               sleds               and               go               sledding               down               the               hills.

If               you               wold               like               to               visit               Herman               A               McNeil               Park,               you               can               find               it               along               Poppenhusen               Ave               in               between               College               Place               &               5th               Ave.
               College               Point               is               a               small               town,               but               everything               you               could               need               and               want               (within               reason)               are               located               there.

They               have               a               huge               shopping               center               located               on               20th               Ave               in               between               132               Street               &               The               Whitestone               Expressway.

There               you               can               find               Target,               Circuit               City,               BJ's,               McDonalds,               TJ               Maxx,               Babies               R'               Us,               Modells               and               a               few               others.

It's               a               wonderful               shopping               center               but               beware               on               weekends               as               the               places               are               usually               packed               with               shoppers.

If               you               go               along               the               Whitestone               Expressway,               just               off               linden               Place,               you               will               find               the               College               Point               MultiPlex               along               with               Toys               R               Us.

Usually               the               Multiplex               is               packed               as               well.

Back               in               the               heart               of               College               Point,               along               College               Point               Blvd,               you               will               find               stores               such               as               Walgreen               &               Eckerd.

There               are               a               few               banks,               laundrymats,               delis,               and               a               handful               of               99               cent               stores               (some               of               my               favorites).

College               Point               even               sports               two               7-11's               within               a               10               block               radius!

How               incredible               is               that?

So               incredible               they               sport               two               Dunkin               Donuts               within               a               20               block               radius!
               College               Point               is               not               just               about               shopping.

It's               about               the               people.

It's               about               the               beauty.

It's               what               beckons               you               there               and               as               some               say,               keeps               you               there.

There               are               whisperings               that               no               matter               where               you               go,               the               curse               of               College               Point               will               always               bring               you               back.

In               my               youth,               that               was               always               true.

No               matter               where               we               moved               to,               we               always               came               back.

Until               3               months               ago,               that               was               my               home.

Now               I               live               in               beautiful               Oregon.

That's               another               article               though.
               College               Point               always               makes               you               feel               safe               and               comforted.

It               has               that               small               town               feel               to               it,               and               the               people               are               friendly               for               the               most               part.

You               can               just               sit               down               on               a               bench               and               expect               that               someone               will               want               to               talk.

It's               that               type               of               homely               feel               that               always               makes               me               smile.
