My favourite place to ‘fool…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on November 5, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 5, 1999

My favourite place to ‘fool around’ with my guy is at our spot that we have near a park. But it is really private and it is romantic because it’s the spot were he first said ‘I love you’ at! It gets really intense sometimes and that’s when i wish that i had my own apartment to go back too!

Does anybody remember how…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on November 5, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 14, 2014

Does anybody remember how to fold a sheet of paper into a “Fortune Teller”? I’m not sure of the correct name, but I remember all the girls on our block telling fortunes with a folded paper operated by the thumb and index finger of each hand. After viewing “Romy & Michelles High School Reunion”, where one of the characters plays with one of these things, my wife is trying to remember how to fold the 8-1/2 x 11″ paper. I’m out a ream of paper. Thanks…

Hi, Jerry. I grew up not far from Jackson Heights. We played single, double, triple, which sounds a lot like your Stonewall Jackson (probably named after your neighborhood, no?). Anyway, did you really have a batter, or was the “batter” actually the person who hit the ball against the wall?

In Queens in the 70’s, we played roller hockey in the schoolyard, using two garbage cans at each end as the goals.

Leda, I remember Stories!…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on November 5, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 19, 2014

Leda, I remember Stories! Of course I remember A my name is Alice, but it would sometimes get boring (we never seemed to make it past L or M), so we’d play Stories instead. I loved it because it gave you such scope for making things up–and showing your prowess at double and triple turnovers. I haven’t encountered too many other people who remember this game, so it’s nice to share the memories. (I grew up on Dahill Road, between Kings Highway and Quentin Road, in the Gravesend section…)

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on November 3, 1999 by Streetplay DiscussionsFebruary 2, 2019

I grew up on College Ave (1329 to be exact) The brick wall was great for box ball. I went to PS 88 on Sheridan Ave through 2nd grade, then moved to Queens. Growing up in an apartment building with a big hall and steps was great!
