I just finished telling a story about the game to my
goddaugter and her cousin. They had a hopscotch board drawn on the driveway. I tried a search for this game many years ago but no luck because I wasn’t sure about the real name. I got lucky today by searching for street games. I thought we used to call it scalesies or loadies. It was painted in most of the project parks. I played all over TAFT, and Foster projects when I was a kid. I lived right in 1694 Madison Ave. I used to go to different bodegas just to find multi-colored poker chips to make caps. I used bubble gum after chewing out all of the sugar. My nickname was Howslinger
