Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Hey JP ...look what you started......LOL

Mike,
Send me your Number would love to talk to you after all these years. Gave you my e-mail in the note...........

sometimes i wish i could go back in time and sit in the backyard and make mud pies and open the seedlings from our mimosa tree pretend they were peas with the kids next door

LOL Too bad it's not working!!!!

Hey suzie....Geri's moving in on your turf!!!!!!

I really appreciate the offer Geri but I'm looking into a package deal, flight+car+hotel. Clearwater is my favorite beach as far as beaches go from me. You live in a beautiful area. I was closer to the beach when I lived in Brooklyn but now I'm surrounded by water...go figure

charlie mentioned pools and it made me think of our backyard on 20th street and our mimosa trees

Pool???.... You guys had a pool???... I don't remember anyone with a pool... I always hung out in the Johnny Pump until the cops came & closed it on us... I remember when Lillian Catalano has a sprinkler on the pump down by her... That was a real treat for us kids.. lol

Hey Deb, What ever happened to John Lockwood? Boy did we abuse that kid. Kind of feel bad, know after watching 6 Feet under on HBO i kind of feel for him. Must have been Hell..........

LMAO... After living with my Honey John all these years, I don't know if I remember what to do with a young stud like Michael... lmao

we had a 4ft pool .....and still went in the johnny pump!

sprinkler on the johnny pump?? that was horrible...we would always get em off and let em RIP. use a tin can cut open on both ends to guide the flow of water. how about THAT for memories.

Hey Geri, When I went back to 22nd street to sell my parents house in the basement was the origianl sprinkler cap. Not the one the the gave out afterward but the original that had great water pressure.

We always did the can thing too... But I still liked the sprinkler since it didn't send me flying into traffic... Does anyone remember the little blond boy that was killed on 22nd street??? He was hit by a car & it made the papers! I still remember the trama from that!!!

Hey Mike you remember we would open the pump on 5th ave. and 22nd street and have a ball but that kind of died down when the 72nd. moved to 4th avenue and actually handed out these sprinkler caps. They were white. We spoke of them in Sudat's grocery Store on 5th. Ave.

It was probably worth something. I bet it was the same one that Flossy's mom had gotten from the police station years ago. She probably gave it to your mom when the Catalano's moved off the block... I bet!

Suzie,
For some reason I always remember calling you SUE, When did the Suzie start? Must have been after 35, probably when I didn't mind Charles..........
