The George Washington Bridge

Mom and I used to walk over the GW bridge and go to the movies in NY. She took me to see the Wizard of Oz and I got scared of the wizard and made her leave. She used to take me to all the Margaret O'Brien movies. I remember she was a beautiful ballerina. After we used to stand in front of the bakeries and she would buy me one of those egg white cookies (meringues) that were so good or we we would share a large 5 cent Hershey bar. As we walked the bridge I would look down and imagine that all the cars and people below were toys. It seemed like a long walk to a little girl at the time.
