Actuated by the tweet below and their hashtag I went on a "Twitter Rant" about my own #ChildhoodInNY
LIKEWISE! RT“@nymag: “I was riding the subway when I was 6 years old.” -Spike Lee #ChildhoodinNY nym.ag/YNYTmV” #fb

My #ChildhoodinNY not only consisted of riding the subway, but hopping or going under turnstiles

I hardly EVER remember paying for the subway as part of my #ChildhoodinNY. In fact I think my mom encouraged it when we were w/ her

Mom was not paying three fares. (Her, me, little brother) Not @ all. LOL #ChildhoodinNY

Ramo's final scene in #BeatStreet had MORE significance on me here in Baltimore because of my #ChildhoodinNY

#ChildhoodinNY riding the trains meant you knew EXACTLY what the "Third rail" was and how dangerous it was a la #BeatStreet

My #ChildhoodinNY was pretty much like #DoTheRightThing except NO fire hydrant. We lived on a bougie block. No drugs either #BedStuy

A bunch of us hopped the trains to #ConeyIsland. All by ourselves. We all had to be around ten years old.#ChildhoodinNY

It seems GOTDAMN ridiculous now, but were hopping trains ever since we started elementary school which was about 6 years old #ChildhoodinNY

If I see a 6 or 7 year old riding the trains here in Baltimore by themselves I'd be like WTF?! In NY maybe not so much... #ChildhoodinNY
