Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

That's definitely the same Arena family, Francine was in my class, they also had a younger brother they called Re Re. They must have moved to or from Prospect Ave. I recall Larry being alot older than Francine.

Night, Night

Maryann,

Hi Helen, Terry & Patsy and Mamacita

Maryann .....Hi again ....Ill try to find out tomorrow his name. I also knew the Spinelli's who lived across the street from me....there were 15 of them...wonder if its one of the Brothers you knew. What about SanFelippo's I think it was 32 st below 5th?

Terry ...I cant believe what happened to Jonathan's Grandmother....but if she made a Police Report .....they might be able to track down who accepted and signed for it....plus something doesnt sound right ....someone knows too much of Jonathan's information. Too bad she didnt call you first!

Hello to all my Park Slope buddies. Sorry I haven't been on lately soft ball playoffs,allstars are over so now I have about a 2 week break before basketball begins. I past my old house on the corner of 21st and 6th Ave last night and the yuppies have taken over. They were sitting infront of my house drinking lattes and wine in the same spot where my Dad and Mr. Legreca (Bugsy) would sit. Down a few houses there was no Mr. D'ambra no

awww Tommy ....wish we could get back those days!
