July Weather on Christmas Day

Today is Christmas. I can never recall a temperature prediction quite like the one we are receiving: highs in the 70s. Today I will be in Ridgewood to visit relatives and I will be wearing shorts. In honor of the weather here is a Vintage Bergen County photo of Graydon Pool taken in the early 1960s. It is Graydon the way I remember it: filled with people, and much less manicured than today's pool. Graydon was a place to go for hours at a time, in an age when mothers stayed at home, and there wasn't air conditioning in every house and a pool on every block in town. We went to Graydon to escape the heat and see how other people had fun in the water.
