Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Good Morning,

My facial scars etc: are looking a little better each day since they took the stitches out. Th two spots that did not have stitches are improving also. Now shaving around all of them will be a challenge. Patsy, you are a very loyal Mets fan. The way they are playing recently they are lucky to have any fans. I can remember as a young boy (yes I was young once) when the BROOKLYN Dodgers were in 7th place I still rooted like crazy for them.That is when there were 8 teams in the National League with NO divisions,no wild cards, no playoffs just the two Pennant winners played in the World Series. The only time there were playoffs was when the two top teams in the league had tying records at the end of the season. -Y

Happy Sunday All,

Boy it is quiet on here. Does that mean people have lost interest or are they just having a fun filled summer weekend?

Patsy, you reminded me of days gone by. Besides all our regular trips to Coney Island in the summer, some of us hankered for Nathans Burgers, Dogs & Fries in the winter. I remember one night in particular when a bunch of us piled into a friends coup that had a rumble seat. Remember them??? I think there were 4 people sqeezed into the rumble seat and 4 more in the two door (no back seat) front seat. It was about 25 degrees out. We went down to Nathans and got our stuff. The ones in the rumble seat were frozen but were still happy to get to Nathan's.

Anna, grandchildren can be such a joy. Of course there can be problems too. I remember one day when I was baby sitting my Granddaughter. She had a bad habit of peeing when she fell asleep. On this particular day she fell asleep on my lap. Need I explain what happened. I still love her though. She is 21 now and I do not think she still pees when falling asleep! :scratch:

Hello All,

Thanks for asking about my healing. My face is healing well. I suppose I will always have a scar but I can live with that. Spent Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon in the Hospital. BP spiked on me. Way up. Also had some chest pain & Flutter in my chest. Tests all came out good and they got my BP down from 223/98 to 132/67. The Doctor doubled my B/P medicine so we will see how that works out. 1st of the Month. Got to go banking. :-00

Hello All,

Been watching some WW2 programs on Military History Channel. It reminded me of some of the things that happened during that time period in Brooklyn. No pictures allowed from the Brooklyn bridge because it would include the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Troop ships leaving NY Harbor and sailing out through the Narrows. (No Verazzano Bridge then)

Food & Gas ration books, Anti Aircraft Units Stationed in Prospect Park, Thousands of B-17 planes flying over Brooklyn on the way to England, Scrap metal drives, War Bond drives, Gold Star banners hanging in windows, Air raid drills-All lights out or blacked out, Meat shortages, daily reports on the progress of the war on the radio, and it goes on & on. #-o
