| My friends and I on Friday Night |
I am a person who truly believes in accentuating the positive. I like to look at the bright side in everything. And I started this whole blog thingy specifically to let people know that at least SOME of us still love Iselin. I'm still a resident, and I'm still happy here. And I had great memories, but I believe that I also have a great "here and now" - and a great future, too!
But now, let's talk about the Iselin Fair. No, it really isn't the same as it used to be. I'm sorry. Not even I can say that the Iselin Fair is spectacular.
On the other hand... I had a really great time last night. But that was because a lot of the people that I went to the fair with in the old days were there with me. And a few people I didn't know back then, but enjoyed talking to last night.
On the negative side: it was pretty empty, even last night. And the rides didn't seem to work out. I feel bad for the church, because it seems like the ride company must have messed them up. (Of course, I don't go on the rides.)
The food choices weren't as wonderful as they used to be. (Of course, I had a Maglione's Italian Ice, and the Pizza, which was really good. And I don't need to eat that much anyway.) Obviously, the whole tradition of having the fair on the other side of the tracks has been broken. (Of course, I always thought the fair was more about the people than about the place, so as sad as it is, it's not that big a deal to me.)
On the positive side: the music was really good. Someone must have explained things to the DJ, because he looked like a kid, but he played all of the right songs. And like I said, I was with some of the people I've been friends with for 35 years, and that's what it's all about.
