Does Anyone Remember: Boro Park: THE LAMPLIGHTER BOXING GYM ?
Hi Guys/Gals
The gym: THE LAMPLIGHTERS BOXING GYM was across the street from: Boro Park Theater on New Utrecht Avenue. Right across the street upstairs from a store that sold lamps. It had NOTHING to do with the store.
The WelterWeight Champion Of The World: Paddy DeMarco sponsored the club in the early
1950's
I use to train there.
Do any you guys/gals have any info or remember that gym ?

Shooner,
I posted your question on the ongoing open conversation here:
http://brooklynian.com/forum/brooklyn-back-when/brooklyn-back-when-open-thread/page/27#post-773737Many Park Slope natives from way back in the day are talking on that thread. I hope you join in and meet the regulars.
Howdy, Stranger!
