As a kid who grew up on Long Island in the 60's, a lot of this brought back great memories. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Some of the nostalgia got across the river to Joisie, although I did go to Brooklyn quite a few times. Got to hear Chubby Checker live at the Brooklyn Fox, rode the coasters at Coney Island, and went fishing off Sheepshead. Good times. :thumbup:

I was raised in Queens and found there was a place called Brooklyn.
Took a look and move out here about 30 years ago. As a driving instructor I recognize a lot of these streets and stores and of course Coney Island.
Thanks
Kaz

Talk about nostalgia It would seem that somebody was following me aroud .i grew up in manhattan in the 40.50,60's and raised our family in Brooklyn
I left home at 7 to go to Coney Island by the subways the old M-9 cars in the essay and came home very late to my mother saying the rosary for my safe rerun my 6 bro & sis were home and no one knew where I was. Does anyone remember skulzy ?

Way out on Long Island we played it with a popsicle stick.

Here's an interesting fact about New York. In the 40's, 50's and 60's, Robert Moses was the most powerful man in New York. He is responsible for the bridges, tunnels, highways and parks that we all use. He decided that he wanted to open up Long Island to people for the city, so he built the parkways and the expressway that are still in use today.

The interesting point is this: Moses was an avid racist. He didn't want the "black hordes" mingling with the vacationing whites, so he made sure that all of the overpasses were too low to allow buses to travel under them. Keep the buses out, keep the colored people out. That's the reason that no commercial traffic is allowed on either the Northern State or the Southern State Parkways.

And that's the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey used to say.

If anyone is interested, read Robert Caro's biography of Moses. It's an absolutely fascinating account of how one man virtually owned New York for decades as his personal fiefdom. He changed the face of New York City and the rest of the state for better and worse, and few people know about it.
