Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Anthony, this is a terrific walk down memory lane. Very kind of you....you made my day!

I just saw someone on the Beatles video wearing a WMCA Good Guys tee shirt. While lots of my friends were Cousin Brucie fans, I was a Murray the K follower. Anyone remember him? And his shows at the Fox?

MAUREN,
U CABT GET A GOOD ZEPPOLI ANYWHERE THESE DAYS THEY WEIGH 100 LBS. THEY USED TO BE LITE AND SO GOOD. NOW THEY ARE HEAVY AND GREASY. ANDDDDDDD I LIVE IN S.I. AND IN BROOKLYN ALL THE TIME.

FELIX...THE BEST BAKED ZITI IN THAT SIVER DISH HOT AS HELL AND SOOOOOOO MUCH MOZZARELLA

MAUREEN
OH OD MURRAY THE K AND HIS SHOWS. I ALWAYS WENT SAW SOME FAMOUS PEOPLE THERE.....I USED TO GO WITH MY CLASSMATE AND FRIEND CORINNE BARBERA. WE ONCE WORE BEATLE HATS ...LOL

REMEMBER CORINNE BARBERA MARILYN ???????

I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR COUSIN MARILYN....

HI JIM

I WORKED IN A BOWLING CENTER (MELODY LANES) FOR MANY YEARS.WE USED TO DO RAFFLES, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE HOLIDAYS.

WE WOULD RAFFLE OFF GOODY BASKETS AND 50-50 TIX FOR MONEY.
BUT, THIS WAS IN BROOKLYN. GUESS JERSEY LAWS ARE DIFFERENT.

I DONT SEE WHAT THE HARM IS IN RAFLLES, BUT SOMEONE DOES...

I can top that Beatles hat of yours. I had Beatles WALLPAPER!

I remember seeing the Temptations, Four Tops, Little Anthony, etc. Watching the choreography and listening to that great music after waiting on those long long lines at the Fox. Great times!

And yes, the roof of my mouth is still burning from that baked ziti.
