I played skelly as a youngster growing up in Baltimore. We used to play on a painted box in the street. We used to use plastic tops from gallons of milk. We would fill them w/ hot asphallt from the street. It was hard sometimes looking for fresh oil spots in the street to dig up the asphalt. However, it was a necessity b/c this made the asphalt soft enough to dig up with an icecream stick :-). I spent many mornings underneath parked cars looking for oil leaks!
