Colin McEnroe Show: What Do You Miss Most?
From gay clubs to teddy bears ... what do you miss most?
What do you miss most? Is it a person? Maybe your grandmother's cooking ... or an ex-lover who you never got over. Maybe you miss a place, an old torn down building or a resturant that served a dish you can't find anywhere else.
Perhaps it's a moment in time that you miss, or the freedom of being a college student. Maybe you miss VHS tapes, vinyl albums or your tacky Christmas sweater.
Today was one of our most-called shows ever. At times, our courageous intern fielded upwards of six calls a minute. Fortunately, we got a lot of your voices on the air.
But if you didn't have a chance to talk with Mark, we still want to hear from you. What do you miss? How has missing this thing shaped you as a person?

What I Miss
Civility. It's been gone for a long time, so long in fact that people don't recognize it when they see it.
I miss...
...kids playing in the streets(kickball, big wheels/bikes, running races, with parents looking out for them "stoop sitting." "CAR!!!" "Game ON!"

Bath and Body Works used to have an aromatherapy scent called Balance that was lemongrass and watermimt that reminds me of a great summer in Florida.

I miss my Uncle Don who passed away in January of this year. He was 76, mentally retarded, and the joy of my life. I shared guardianship of him with my sister and his brother, but I think I was closest to him. He lived with me for some years until he moved to an assisted living facility, but remained a constant in my life. He loved everything about life, and was never complained. Everything I do daily, everywhere I go, there is a memory of Uncle Don. I am fortunate to have had him in my life and think of him daily as I go about my routine. I miss him so much and don't know if I'll every get over the loss.

I miss when radio stations always said the name of each song and the artist...so I could go to the store and buy the tunes I liked. When this stopped...is when I could no longer buy music. I never made the transition to clairvoyance or MTV required to find out the name of a song and an artist. I bet I'm not alone. Thanks.
