I know I haven't posted here in a month, but I just wanted to say...
... I *loved* this piece!!!
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/03/opinion/pony-boys-montreal-expo-67.html
Even though I grew up in Massachusetts, I had never heard of them. I was a little younger than they in the summer of '67. But I had the same burning desire to get to Expo 67. It was fueled by TV commercials on the Boston stations.
In my second-grade classroom I started writing a short story called "Off on the Bar." The Bar was "half bus, half car" and was chasing after a constantly moving city called Gigantic. The student teacher helping in the classroom finally told me I was using too much school paper, so I got myself a notebook.
And, that summer, my parents and I went to Expo 67.
