  • This is part two of my miniseries on growing up in Niagara Falls. I am 61 years old and have lived here my whole life. As in many places, things seem to deteriorate after so many years, which is really unfortunate. I hope you enjoy this video.

    Love this and you sharing your life. My childhood was about moving every couple of years even though I was born in upstate NY! That lace flower is in the carrot family! Carrots have similar flowers. I love nature!!

    We had a Kresges Dept store too, growing up near Poughkeepsie NY. Also had Woolworths and Newberrys. It's a shame these stores are all gone now. Oh the good old days! Miss them! You forgot to insert your ice skating photo. 😍 Oh and that was sad about the little girl who was murdered. going to look that up too.

    That empty building across from the park looks like a good place to open a thrift shop or a place to rent out a bunch of booths for re-sellers. I would dig up some of those queen anne lace weeds and plant them at home. We have those here too. I did that with those violet weeds you pulled and they spread in my garden. People should be using that park. It's beautiful but looks so deserted. My brother and I always called our creek a crick too. 🤣 Thanks for the tour...really enjoyed it.

    When you showed the bowling alley it brought back memories we were a bowling family and my father was a great bowler and we went to lots of tournament and that was one of the alley we were at we in the early to mid 70's may have went to the church also. Thanks for the flashback of memories. Enjoyed your city! 😊

      My dad was a bowler and bowled a 276. Almost got the 300! He taught me how to throw a mean hook ball

      @@TheThrillofTheThrift WOW that is a great score! My father once rolled a 298 those darn 7-10 split my brother as his ring from that game. I was a lefty bowled, only beat my father once and only by 1 pin, but I whipped my brother behind by about 20 he would never bowl with me again 😄.

    Oh Dee absolutely loved this tour of your home town! The park is huge with so many options of things to do or just relax. Would love to visit Latinas for some good Italian food stuff, yum! I also love Queen Ann's Lace and thistles... sometimes I will put some food coloring in a vase with water and the cut flowers will absorb it and take on those colors, so pretty. Thanks for taking us along on this ride!

    Hi Dee. Really enjoyed this video. The park was so pretty. I love Queen Ann Lace. Do you know that if you put it in a?vase with water and food coloring. The lace will take on the color of the food Coloring. It is. so awesome. Thank you for your 2nd video. Such fun to listen to you reminisce. Thanks for sharing. Take care. God Bless

    Toledo is the same. So many homes gone in neighborhoods that were teeming with people.

    I think of a weed as something unwanted or growing where it's not wanted. Queen Anne's lace is too lovely for the moniker. All weeds really are just wildflowers or herbs.
    Speaking of which,
    Our city park used to have a little wigwam. I was caught by police once in that wigwam, doing something that probably historically happened quite often in wigwams.
    My two brothers went on a road trip to Niagara, and one of them honeymooned there (& Rhode Island).

      BTW, your IG link in the description is to your old account. I was looking for part 1 when I found it, clicked, saw no posts, and thought for sure I had seen you on Instagram before.
      So that's the old one in description.

    Yes, I too love Queens Annes Lace. Not weeds, wildflowers. We have alot of vacant lots full of them. Love when they are mixed with the blue wildflowers that look like cupids dart. Your Duck Park that is in disrepair looks like Flint all over. Since GM picked up and left with their tax dollars and jobs, everything has gone downhill. We got a grant from the President to make improvements, but all they are doing is knocking down burnt out buildings and houses. Sure not what it was in the past.

    Dee, no, tell us what teenagers did back then?😂😂 You need to go back with some shears to get the thistle & other beautiful flowers(weeds). Hyde Park is huge. Thank you so much for Part II. Isn't it a great feeling being born, raised & still living in the same town? Linda (Classic Old Soul) & I, both born, raised & still here in Tallahassee area. Very few of us around, like that, especially in Florida. High school days sound the same. 😂 Great memories, Dee. thank you 🩷🩷
