    For me, it was 3rd and Market. It was November 22nd, 1963 at about 1238pm. I was walking past Sal's Electeonic Emporium when I saw the commotion on the TVs in the display window.

    sorry, force of habit. i'm actually a middle aged dude from canada. (i hope you have a good sense of humour)

    it was actually a few days into my first year of college. i remember waking up, seeing it briefly on the news before making my way to school (remember, this was before cell phones and a lot of web stuff). when i got to school, i remember standing just inside the door by the bar watching it all unfold on one of the big, ugly CRT televisions they had mounted in the lobby area. i called my dad, but i don't remember the conversation. back then i was still a dumb kid in the dial-up internet days, and i was on a big Nostradamus kick. i remember my ex-girlfriend called me up all freaked out because she remembered me talking to her about some shit i read that sounded a lot like what happened at the time. (i don't believe that stuff now, but it was all really freaky as a kid at the time)

    It's fine. Taking at face value you're supposedly 18 I was remembered of my kids talking about the old days - i.e. 10 year olds talking about stuff merely 2 years ago (Ok to them that's like a is decade to us). So that granny comment was tongue in cheek as well.. :-)
