I remember when I first( move)to New York from California with my parents. I (stand) in the street and stare up at the skyscrapers. They(be) taller than anything I'd ever seen. The streets (be) much busier than back in California and i ( run) across from one side to the other holding my mother's hand. For the first few months, we (not\go)further than four blocks from home. My parents (not /own) a car in those days, so on Sunday mornings we (take) the subway to Central Park. We (have) breakfast at a lovely deli and then we (go) skating in the park. This (be) all about twenty years ago. The city (be) a lot more polluted and chaotic then. Nowadays, it's much more people-friendly.
