If You Could Go Back In Time Where Would You Go?
My first choice would be in France with the impressionism movement.
My second choice would be the streets of Gloucester that my Dad remembered and talked about often. What’s Yours?

I’d like to go back and hang out with Jesus for awhile, and then maybe watch the creation of the Nazca lines so I could see who did it and how.
If you get to go back in time to meet Jesus, make sure you bring your camera and a GMG Sticka so he can represent.
My pick as well would be Paris impressionism post impressionism all the way up to hanging out with Hemingway while he hand harvested pigeons in Luxembourg Garden. But only if I could bring a load of antibiotics and maybe a flushing toilet. You could die of a paper cut back then with the lack of hygiene and no drugs.
If I couldn’t take antibiotics then someplace where there were no people all covered with germs and yellow fever and cholera and other nasty stuff. Hawaii before Captain Cook showed up. Yeah, on my death bed at 88 I tell my Hawaiian pals to kill them all when they show up in 1788.
So romantic.
I’d go with your second choice hand’s down! All the history of my family is within the city limits
My mom would always tell me how handsome Sterling was and how they loved to watch him hoist the sails!
Me too..Gloucester in the 30s 40s or 50s
I’d be on the streets of Gloucester’s waterfront in the days of the sailing schooners and hang out with Larry O’toole, Sterling Hayden and Frederick Mulhaupt.
When my Dad was a kid him and the other Fort kids would jump off the wharf where the boat that Sterling Hayden worked on.was docked. He would yell at them “Get off the wharf you “F*&KIN” Guineas!
Oh yeah !
Romance v. Rrealists: along with Paul’s comment add “Only if you had money and the means”. No welfare back then.
I hope I can I imagine the surviving people saying in the future that they would like to be on Cape Ann in the 2010′s. (Before the mosquitos and EEE, etc) Block parties, Rocky Neck, all the music and arts, the food, the Lannon & Ardelle (Cigar & Rum Cruise), and great literature resource such as GMG, etc
I agree with the Impressionist movement. I’ve been to Monet’s garden in France, and would to go back and watch him paint. Beautiful!
Medieval times; 12th century during the days of King Richard the Lionheart and the legendary Robin Hood, as a dressmaker or clothier.
Second choice would be 18th century Salem, during the flurry of international trade and commerce; same occupation as 12th century.
