(May 21) As soon as I saw Prime Ave, I knew I was back in the old hood. I lost my mainframe virginity in that neighborhood.

I didn’t recognize the area, just the sign

We used to come here to de-stress from writing code, at lunchtime

Always interesting to note WWI plaques always assumed there’d only be one world war

It’s surprising how much I don’t remember about the place

But the willows, those I remember

These Long Island stone bridges are of a certain era

These are apparently an invasive species

But now we’ve pretty much seen it all

Time to go. Shall we do it again in another 25 years?

And finally, we arrive at the place of my former employment. The data center was where “Elite Sports Performance” is now. You entered through the two-story building to the left.

Ahh Hecksher Park. I haven’t been there in a few years. Looks mostly the same though. Timeless in a way really. I took some pics in the early 00s that I can’t locate at the moment…. 🙂

Yeah, some things have changed in that area, and some things are completely different. Brings back a lot of memories for me though, I worked in that neighborhood for about four years right out of college.
