The Ramones at the Queens Museum

Was dreading the drive and the hunt for parking, but there were no problems at all that day. It was another Grand Day out.

 Got to see the Uni-sphere from the 1964 World's Fair and we all had ice cream.

Saw the Ramones Exhibit.
 and Johnny's Marshall Stack, contract and riders specified straight cabinet  Marshall stack. The riders were interesting, but not as crazy as some other groups.

There were lots of photos and shirts and paraphernalia. This little 3D diorama was neat.

The museum also had a collection of Tiffany lamps.

And finally got to see the Panorama of the City of New York. This scale model of  NYC was also built for the 1964 Worlds fair and has been updated from time to time, though not since 9/11 since the World Trade Towers still stand.
Central Park in the photo above.
  Our house is in the lower right third in the photo above
 And here is the family farm, showing greenhouses #1 - #5 and #6 the largest.
The museum has an Adopt-a-Building program to help maintain the project.

Beers in the Fridge:

Boddington's Ale, a perennial favorite. 4.6% ABV, owned by these guys.

Long Trail Mostly Cloudy. 4.7% ABV 12 IBU. Unfiltered Belgium Witbier style, pleasant. Would purchase again.

Sixpoint C.R.E.A.M. 7.2% ABV 25 IBU. Brewed with coffee, has just enough coffee aroma and taste. Reminds me of cream soda. Would buy again to have lying around. A good way to start the day.
