All righty. . .where do we all wanna go, now that Prof. Stokes will act as our Agent?
-
Renaissance Florence.....I'd like to have a word with Niccolo Machiavelli.

Will he take "frequent disappearance" miles?
If so, I'm game for Victorian England.

Well, I know Craig had parties at his place in NYC in the early 70's, I would go there and have fun with him!
-
Take me back to the Wild West, I always wanted to go there! ;-)

Wasn't that funny? I got a big kick out of that line.
Ya know who Thayer David was reminding me of in that episode? Marlon Brando. I kept thinking he looked like Brando all of a sudden.

I think that I will join you with that stagecoach ride...

Ah, this has always been a favorite fantasy of mine!
My first choice for destination is a bit eclectic - Restoration England. I always wanted to meet the great minds of the time: Newton, Wren , Boyle, Dryden and maybe the cheeky Mr. Pepys, too.
Another must-see destination would be late 18th century Vienna with its embarrassment of musical riches - Mozart, Haydn and a very young Beethoven.
Sign me up, Professor Stokes!
Wonder if he'll take credit cards? ;D

Well, this may sound kind of lame, but I'd like to go back to 1967 to the DS studio. Or 1968, 69, 70, 71 -- whatever. There's so many things I find myself wondering about on that set!
Btw, I love this board and even though I check it everyday, I've never posted before. Thanks everybody for making it such a great board!

It would be cool to see Toulouse-Lautrec sketching at the Moulin Rouge. I love his work...
-
Well,i'd like to visit everywhere and everytime from the beginning to now!But for a specific time,i'd like to visit ancient rome being i'm a classicist in training.

boykading,
Yay, it's great to see you joining in! :D

It doesn't sound lame to me. I'd love to go back to the late 60s and be able to visit the set of DS. On the other hand, I'd wonder what my chances are of being allowed into the studio (not to mention traveling to New York) back then. Time travel might not quite be enough.
I'd love to be able to get into a "time machine" and travel back to different points in time without ever physically moving to a different location (same spot, different time). It would be cool to see open fields where my house now stands 200 years ago, or a forest, or whatever was here then. It would be fun to see the earliest settlers of the city with the dirt roads and horse and buggies. It would also be cool to travel all the way back to the prehistoric era and just watch the landscape evolve around me as I moved forward again to present day.

I would love that too Chris! I love looking at old photograph's that were taken in my City from years and years ago and then comparing them to the way things look now. It's amazing to see just how much has changed over the years. Everytime I see old buildings and houses, I always think of how they looked in their day and wonder what the original owners would say if they could see them now.
There's an old park & pool that I go to here in Yonkers that was built in 1926 and is still kept up with beautiful grounds and a lovely lake as well, (although they could fare to get a new pool) They have old pictures in the lobby of how the place looked in 1928. Although still very crowded today because of the beauty of the grounds, waterfall & lake, the pool isn't nearly as crowded as it was it in's day. Couldn't get over the long long line just to get into it, must have been something in it's heyday! The funny thing is that the whole place looks EXACTLY as it does today.
I think it's great when they keep these old historic places instead of just tearing them down to build more shopping malls or whatever. As long as they preserve them okay, I think they show such an important part of history. :-)

Hi, Julia 99 i would say i'd love to go to Rome Italy
and take The Q-man with me!!!! NOW THAT WOULD
BE ROMANTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Anne

I would love to do the 1950's again.

While I would be delighted to visit just about any period in history, (with the possible exceptions of the Great Depression and the years of the Black Death) I've always been drawn to the 1960's and 1950's. Both were monumental decades for various reasons, and each sounds like a heck of a lot more fun than modern times. Moreover, I too would love to visit the DS studios. :)

I'm with Craig Slocum. . i'd wanna hang with Grayson . ..say in the bar where she ended up getting the Dr. Hoffman job anyway from Bob Costello. . .**that** would be a moment to witness.

Get yourself sent to The Village in the 1950's, ProfStokes, and live through the Beat Generation years...eventually you'll wind up in the mid 1960's and you could head uptown for a job at that TV studio!!

We used to love going down to the Village in the late 60's - all sorts of great little shops and clubs. I still have a button I bought down there when I was around 14 that says 'Bullshit' in gothic letters. (Well, I thought it was cool at the time) LOL
Also got the first issue of Rolling Stone that ever came out down there - long before it became any sort of major publication.
And yes...we would occasionally go uptown and take an casual stroll down W.53rd St. and read all the graffiti scrawled on the brick front of the studio.
Frid Power!!

Get yourself sent to The Village
Someone recently was telling me about NYC, and they mentioned the West Village, is that the same place?
-
Forgive us New Yorkers for referring to Greenwich Village as though it was the only place on Earth that qualified as a village.
Yes, the West Village is part of what is locally known as "The Village" It's in lower Manhattan, on the West Side (closer to the Hudson River than the East River)
It's been a "bohemian" kind of neighborhood since the turn of the 20th century....perennially on the list of places tourists have to go in order to say they've "seen" New York.

Me too. I work in a building that dates back to 1918, and we, too, have pictures in the lobby of how the main street in town looked back in that era. The old-time cars on the dirt roads are hysterical. But the traffic wasn't nearly as bad!!! There's something to be said for that.

I never thought of Greenwich Village. You can tell I don't spend much time in New York. Thanks Rainey! I'm in "Sin City", that's the nickname around here. I just call it Las Vegas.
-
I think "Sin City" is a wonderful name! Certainly tells you everything a tourist needs to know about the place, doesn't it? [lghy]
Rainey
-
Las Vegas is called "Sin City" because of the tourists, they're having all the fun. Tonight I went to Open House at my daughter's school, to learn about her program and curriculum for the 2002-2003 academic year, also an overview of Nevada PTA activities. Tomorrow I will be in her class as a parent helper. That's what I do here!
-
I would like to go back in time and be a chum to Anne Shirley on Prince Edward Island. I wish that Marilla was my Aunt and that Matthew was my Uncle. I would have a boyfriend just like Gilbert. Oh, and my name would be Cordelia.
-
My daughter and I LOVE the "Anne of Green Gables" stories!!!!!!!!
Wasn't "Avonlea" one of the most well-written, beautifully produced programs for children EVER?!!
Figures....it was made in Canada! [winkb]
Let me know when the ferry leaves for P.E. Island....I'll be there!
