Hey, Johnbock86,
Not much changes after 25 or so years. I think that every street had its "Marshall" whose gutter had a dozen pink spaldeen balls and whose backyard held a fortune in hardballs, softballs, and God knows what else. The way we dealt with the one we had in the late 50's and early 60's on Kenora Place was to offer, in the Fall, to clean his gutters and rake his leaves for a ridiculously low price, or for free if it came down to it. The reward was unlimited access to his flower beds and fence lines - and, ultimately,to the treasure that they held.

Used to follow right behind those bug-fogging trucks on our bikes. The fog was so thick that one time I ran right smack dab into the back of a parked car. Broke my wrist. Since I was forbidden to ride around those foggers, by my mom, I had lots of " "splainin " to do when I limped home.
Anyone remember clamming on the flats by the first and second bridges? It was yucky on the feet but the clams on the half-shell and the homemade chowder were worth all the effort. We also used to dive for scallops in Zach's Bay. That was scary, what with all the waterskiers OR whenever Twinkle Box was out in her boat. Watch Out!!!!!

Our house on Kenora Place had a full dormer across the back of the house. It afforded all of us who dared a great place to stand on summer nights and see the fireworks going off at the Jones Beach Theater ( the trees weren't as tall back then ). It was one of the few flat roofs in the neighborhood. Sometimes my parents would bring folding chairs up there and invite all of us kids up with them to watch the fireworks - making the whole affair as if it was something really "special". What they didn't know was that we went up there EVERY night of every summer that we lived there, with few exceptions - weather permitting. After a major hurricane ("Donna", I think) we climbed up on that dormer roof and we could actually see the waves and surf churning up at the beach.

Hi everyone - this is great, we should have a neighborhood reunion!!! I think the car crash into King Kullen involved a boy named Glen but I can't remember his last name. He was pinned under the car but was ok. Her goes, Skip & Mike Manzi, the Disslers, Al Kurpis, Valvanos, Fred Hoskins, Langs, Barbutos, Hydes, O'Neills, McHales, Wayne Davies. My memory is shot. Post them if you remember them. How many of you remember S&S Lunchonette? Steve & Deloris Gurlides.
