Staten Island Summer Quote
[first lines] Danny Campbell: [narrating]I grew up in Staten Island New York. It might not sound like it, but I did. For those of you who don't know, Staten Island is like Brooklyn and New Jersey had a baby. A baby that would up to be either a cop, or a fireman. And you know, some how it gets a bad rap, but really it's just like any other suburb. I mean, sure it looks like this [tightly packed houses]
Danny Campbell: , and this [store fronts]
Danny Campbell: . But what most people don't realize is that Staten Island also looks like this [ocean front properties]
Danny Campbell: , and this [moored yachts]
Danny Campbell: .
Danny Campbell: And for me, every single summer since I was old enough to remember looked like this, the Great Kill Swim Club. This is where I spent every waking hour of my summers. From 8 AM swim practice, 'til they threw us out at night, this is where I found friendship. This is where I tasted victory and defeat. Where I fell in love. And it's where I had the best job in the history of the world. I was a lifeguard.
