Dad, I forget- where were you born again? Brooklyn. Home to Coney Island, famous hotdogs- and of course, the world's greatest cheesecake! That's right, Utopia!
I never lived in Brooklyn, but friends did, and I have the fondest of memories of Coney Island and Junior’s. Not sure if it was the best cheesecake in the world, but it was certainly bleeep good.
This is set in the 60’s, and it is realistic that most of the grownups smoked at that time. Also, it was kind of a cliche in sitcoms back then for the wise dad giving advice to be smoking a pipe and wearing a sweater with leather elbow patches.

Well I do like cheese cake, but I love Cajun food. New Orleans would be my Utopia.

My aunt, who lived in Brooklyn for most of her life, referred to it as God’s Country.

I don’t like either. Not so Utopian for me.

A Coney Island hot dog before health inspections were invented – proof that the human stomach can handle pretty much anything!

I no longer eat hot dogs and have always hated cheesecake, but I definitely see Brooklyn or Manhattan as utopia. Sigh, someday…

Yes, in the eyes of a kid. They all sound good to me, but only for a visit. Wouldn’t want rollercoasters, hot dogs and cheesecake every day.

I’m impressed Red knows the word “utopia” and how to use it.

I am disappointed that Red’s father is a smoker; I am more distressed that he is smoking inside the house and thus exposing Red to second-hand smoke.
Is this supposed to be a retro-look, is Brian Basset ignorant of the health risks, or is he glamorizing smoking like the bad old (hack-hack) days?
