As always, your writing took me back to the same memories. I could almost feel the gentle ocean breeze through my hair. I was there. I know of no other outdoor movies in Narragansett back then. Were you speaking of outside Adam's Store, across from Scarborough/Olivo's where I attended with all of my summer friends?
What a wonderful read to start the week off. I have amazing memories of Narragansett, Scarborough beach and Olivo's. We would actually hitch hike to the beach. What on earth were WE thinking??
Following up on another Substack post - the 2025 pickled peppers are done. I told mom and dad that you would like some and they would love to share. I can be reached at dsavastano@healthassistcorp.com

Yes, indeed, the movies at Adams' store. Where the mosquitoes had a feast.

We were safe. We trusted those who gave us the ride. And to those spectacular beaches.
Beautiful! What memories of those days of innocence and aching longing. Wonderfully captured, Ed.
Thanks, Ed. Unrequited love. I met her years later. She was married. Oh well . . .
Cute kid! Wonderful Doctor! Super writer! “Happy Days”! 🥰
Love you. Un grande abbraccio . . . big hug
Ed,
With summers like and memories like that, it will always be an endless summer. Beautiful my friend.

Thank you, Paul. It was my virgin summer, as were many more to follow. I majored in Virginity for quite a while.
Reminds of the wonderful days spent at our beach house at Mt View. All my best memories come from those summers!
Ain't nostalgia wonderful
What a sweet end of summer read, Ed. Thanks for this one.
Thanks, Leslie.
So lovely Ed.
