That's what people keep forgetting, that buses CAN go to Jones beach, and always were able too. And really, the Sunrise Highway is not that bad of a trek. Was racism involved? Perhaps, but AGAIN remember the era, this was pre 1964. People are thinking like it is TODAY, and trying to put that in a mindset of a different era and generation. The 60's changed SO MUCH. We are talking the 1920's and 30's here....attitudes were more racist back then. Again, he was a product of his time, and the norm at the time, which is NOT the same as today (thankfully).And personally (and forgetting the original intent, even if that was true, which I am not convinced of), I prefer the Parkways over the Expressways. It's so nice to be able to drive with cars, and not having all the trucks all alongside you and in front of you, and you can see where you are going. it's nice to have roads that aren't like the Expressways. And there are the expressways for everything else. |
