CANARSIE!!!! What a place, huh?? I grew up 88th and Ave. "L" . . . yes "THE L." I loved going to the "L" as a young person . . . I don't want to say kid . . . I'm still young at 28. I loved going to Joe's Pizza on E. 92nd St. for a SLICE and an ICE. Then it was off to Kenny's to look at all the toys they had. Making my Christmas list was easy there.
P.S. 115 was a great school with great teachers. . . . Remember Mrs. Collins? "No More Ball Playing!!!" Boy when she spoke we ALL listened. Bildersee was another great school. And remember the Nosher? Or how about Rosie's Pit Burgers? If you went to Bildersee you know Rosie . . . and those damn dobermans. Then it's off to Canarsie High.
So many memories . . . Canarsie Pier . . . you just can't compare Brooklyn to any other borough . . . anywhere!!!!! Well, love to all. Be safe. Be Good.

I used to live at 349 Smith Street above Joe's Delicatessen between Carroll & 2nd St. I remember the time Carol Park was being redone and they found a cache of weapons buried there. I also remember the story of "Batman" Stevie Cirillo throwing 11 guys out of a second story pool hall window on Court street off of Second Place. I remember stick ball and snowball fights and sitting on the stoop of my friend Marie's house on Second Street and talking till midnight or until mom hunted me down. I am so proud to have grown up in the Brooklyn of the 50s and 60s. God bless us everyone!

I lived at 122 Liberty Ave., near Sackman Street. Does anyone have any pictures of that area? Is the house still standing?
