Episode 17: Let's Go To Friendly's; Road Trip to Nantucket; Some Embarrassing Old School Sleepover Stories; This Week In History(First Boston Marathon)(4-22-2021)
In My Footsteps: A Gen-X Nostalgia Podcast
Episode 17 starts with chicken strips and ice cream as I reminisce about lunch dates with my Nina at Friendly's. From patty melts, Fishamajigs, Jubilee Rolls, to Jim Dandy sundaes and Fribbles there were few places I loved going more as a kid than Friendly's. Learn some of the history of this New England/Northeast staple.
Nantucket island is so filled with incredible history, shops, beaches, and other attractions that there is no way to do only one Road Trip. The first of a likely 3 trips we stick to the Downtown Nantucket area including the amazing cobblestone streets, whaling museum, wharves, and countless shops and restaurants.
Growing up sleepovers were some of the best experiences. Most of them were fun if not uneventful. Then there were the ones that stuck with you, whether for good or bad reasons. I take you way Back In the Day and share 4 sleepover stories that you have to hear to believe.
This Week In History takes us back to the very first Boston Marathon which was run by a whopping 15 people. There's a special time capsule celebrating my Nana's birthday, plus other amazing stories that happened this week back in time.
Also be sure to check out my livestreams called Without A Map Friday's at 8pm on Instagram which serve as a sort of postgame show for the podcast. Find them on IGTV and YouTube after they've finished.
