Belmont Park

Belmont Park, in Elmont, NY, is undergoing a massive renovation.  I have such fond memories of the original structure.  I remember the first time I ever went there, how it felt like I was walking on hallowed grounds.  And it blew my mind to see a barber shop in the grandstand!  And people were in there getting their hair cut.

I hope they maintain the park in the back.  That was a special day to spend some time there and contemplate the Daily Racing Form.

I hope that this renovation is for the best.  Is there talk of a casino coming to Belmont Park?

I just Google'd and found these renderings of the new Belmont Park.  What doesn't make sense is why the new UBS Arena was built to look a lot like the now "old" Belmont Park.

This is a radical redesign.  And apparently, the new structure will only seat 7500 attendees.  I know attendance is down and perhaps for 364 or the 365 days in a year it was now too humungous.  What will they do though on Belmont Stakes day?

I'd smoke weed with the Jamaicans there in the grandstand in a little cove area I think around the tunnel or the finish line.

At least I think it was Belmont, could of been Aqueduct.

Watching Secretariat's win there and that race call, wow, is a must several times a year when I need a lift.

Getting high, betting races then, playing cards all night, drinking, late night trips to AC....today it's download all kinds of data and pps, have 10 browsers open with all kind of tools, resources and videos, then put the bets in, double, triple check them.  Oy Vey.

On second thought...I'm Not sure if learning and or making money now more consistently was as fun as blowing it back then LOL!  :0

Even weed was better back then, not all this insane to the brain Krazy Kushy Krap synthesized and whatever, and most importantly, it was illegal then.

The days of being stealth and coy are over. Now you got most everyone loose on the stuff.  Guys and gals with sub human IQ's who cannot make a coherent sentence on their best day, should just say no.

A cop pulled me over last week and said I'm writing you up a warning for blowing a stop sign, hold my joint he tells me.  The nerve.

Criminalize it, and maybe I'll loosen up and start smoking again.  🙂
