5 Journeys on My Time Machine

By
Real Estate Agent with Fathom Realty 8431215

5 Places I would go if I had a time machine:

 

1.  Burlington City, New Jersey--1890's

I love our little city on the Delaware, and I would love to see it in this era, and what the riverfront looked like back then.  And of course there would be less people, buildings and everything.  I would want to explore this grid of streets which was the inspiration for Philadelphia.

 

2.  Trenton, New Jersey, 1776

Oh my, the idea of seeing and walking the routes to the battle of Trenton,  when it was still such a young town, moments before General Washington lead his troops there is exciting.   I was born in Trenton and raised in neighboring Hamilton.  

 

3.  Hamilton, New Jersey 1939

I would love to peek in on my mom and dad when they were kids, age 7.  I miss them both and love them both so dearly.  How cool to see them as children.

 

4.  1964 Concerts

The Beatles, the best band ever until revisionists had their way.   They have so many amazing songs that we have all forgotten half of them.  

And Sam Cooke, of course he was killed in 1964.   Love his voice and music.  Sweet, smooth and fun.  

 

5.  Dallas, Texas, 11-22-63

I want to know the truth.  There was clearly more to the story.  I just want to be a fly on the wall.  I want to be on the 6th floor.  I want to be on the grassy knoll. 

 

I am not a big sci-fi person, but these ideas are exciting and they all mean something to me personally.  

 

Bonus trips:

1.  1918 Fenway Park, Boston.   2.  1950 Shibe Park, Philadelphia.

Good evening Michael,

I love this idea of looking back and picking places to see if you had a time machine. I'm with you on #5. There was may more to the story on this assassination just like there is today on the past two recent attempts on former President Trump.

Michael Elliott I experienced the Beatles introduction to US TV on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964.  As Ed Sullivan would say, it was a "Really, Really Big Show".   ☺️

Wow, I bet that was amazing!

I, too, was planted firmly in front of our small black and white screen television for the Beatles introduction to the U.S. audience.  I admit to not understanding what the big deal was... all I could hear was girls screaming!!

That is a lot of activity to want to see again.   For me, I would go back to my trig class in high school and tell the little cutie that sat next to me that we would be married someday. She may have laughed at me then, but it came true.

I have read many books as well on the subject.  Some more compelling than others.  He had help in my opinion.

Hello Michael - as far as I know, time travel is a fantasy.  And while that vision certainly has its place, filling in the blanks of reality may require something we may never see.  And yes, Kathy Streib Michael's post creates pondertunities thanks to Carol Williams putting that concept "out there" for me to grasp.

Pondertunities...love your style, Michael Jacobs :-)

Michael Elliott - pondertunities was originally coined by Carol Williams a few years ago.  I am happy to spread the usage of her creativity.

Michael, your time machine journeys are fascinating and deeply personal. It’s amazing how each destination holds a special significance, from exploring historical events to reliving cherished family memories. Your passion for history and music shines through, making these trips not just about the places, but the emotions and stories tied to them. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and imaginative list! 🚀✨

Interesting posting. For me, traveling to Sweden to see my grandparents working on the feudal farm back in the early 1900's. Then maybe be a fly on the wall during the conversations at the local tavern during the writing of the US Constitution. Hearing all those philosophical differences would be incredible.

Yes to both!!
