I love #WFMU and I've been a listener since they were at Upsala college. Just an incredible station with beautiful people.

The Big Trak was not a remote control toy, but a rudimentary programmable robot. It didn't do well in sales because playing with it required planning and intelligence.

A whole wall of my local hobby shop looked like this. My favorite were aircraft or boat models. In retrospect I wish I'd got more of the Aurora monster models.

Far from my first OS, it's interesting to note the 5 1/4 floppy had storage for 360kb. So yes, it was a complete operating system for under a megabyte. Windows 11 currently requires a minimum 26gb for installation.

As a teen, I'd take the train into NYC, and each time this place was practically mandatory for a visit. For a geek kid in a small town, when Amazon was still a decade away, this was soul food.

Here's my take on the debate: They are both amazing. But Rutts Hut has the better dogs, while Johnny's is a much lovelier location.

A "movie set" style Western ghost town. On the East coat. With stage coast rides. Yes, it is weird. That's it's best feature.

This building and rail car used to be a restaurant. Not a diner, but a upscale eatery. Had a date there, once. She and I were both extremely desperate, but for very different reasons.

Just water and air pressure, but I loved playing with these things.

The Land of Make Believe. A tiny fairy-tale themed park for little kids. So kitschy it was actually kind of amusing to re-visit as a teen or adult.

Dick's Diner won awards for having the best cheesecake in New Jersey.

Subaru Brat. My friend had one of these. Fun as we'd sit in the jump-seats and she'd drive us around rural NJ late at night.

"Uncle" Floyd Vivino ran a local access shoestring budget variety show. Nevertheless, his guests included the likes of Cyndi Lauper and The Ramones. David Bowie even wrote a song about him. It brightened some very dark times in my childhood.

Even though we were white, my dad kept this in our glovebox. When we travelled, he wanted to support businesses that reinforced equality and human rights.

Besides, they were just safer to go to.

Yeah...the band is actually named after this place.
