Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on March 27, 2009 by Streetplay DiscussionsMarch 27, 2009

This is the game that I’ve been trying to remember. There were squares with titles such as colors, flowers, names, trees, etc. You threw a stone on each square and hopped around as you named each grouping. What was it called???

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on March 25, 2009 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 19, 2014

I grew up in SW Philly near 68th and Woodland Avenues. We played Buck-Buck, but the first person on the team being jumped on wrapped his arms around a telephone pole. Once, one of the guys on the jumping team jumped so far he knocked himself out when he slammed into the pole. My friend’s brother broke his instep when he was the last guy bending over and the last jumper missed the stack and landed on his foot, which had the toes to the ground and heel up in the air. Ouch! The younger kids in our neighborhood played “shadow tag” at night. If you were “it”, instead of tagging someone you had to step on their shadow. Another game for younger kids was “Red Light, Green Light”. We also played various forms of “chicken”, which usually involved running in front of a car and seeing how close you could get without getting run over. In the winter if there was snow on the ground, we’d “ski” on the streets by grabbing hold of the back of a bus when it stopped and getting pulled along when it started to move.

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on March 20, 2009 by Streetplay DiscussionsMarch 20, 2009

I want to describe a pair of awful white bulging eyes as “taws” because of their size – but, knowing nothing about the game, I’d like to know if there are white taws. Or would they mostly be of a certain color or be otherwise beautiful? I’d appreciate learning just what the word “taw” brings to mind. Thanks. You can email me at bmiller [at] sjcsf [dot] edu

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on March 16, 2009 by Streetplay DiscussionsFebruary 2, 2019

Oh, the memories. Spaldeens ruled, anything else was second rate. I keep one in my car to this day. In the Dyker Heights section we used the Spaldeen for everything,slap ball, punch ball , handball, cather-flyers-up, stoop ball, box ball, stickball. Didn’t know pensies existed till we moved to Nassau County. We would use them if local candy store was out of spaldeens or we couldn’t put together the 25 cents for the real deal.

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on March 13, 2009 by Streetplay DiscussionsMarch 13, 2009

I have an original spalding ball in my possession. I would think it is at least 35 years old. What happens to the rubber of the ball after all those years??? If I bounce it will it split in half?? Anyone one with experience with an ancient spalding??

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on March 10, 2009 by Streetplay DiscussionsMay 9, 2019

Im from East New York Brooklyn 11207 to be exact..Born in 78.. – so, Im talking to a friend in V.A. about classic games from our childhoods…I mentioned “skelly” and He looks at me with “THAT” face and thought I was Making it up…It was more than a Game to us, they will never get it….Glad to see you all, Those who Know… First thing every summer morning for us was “skelly”..BEST CAPS – We played with two types…The plastic TWIST caps from the gallon of milk container and the smaller pop off tops of the milk/Juice containers…melted candle wax was always my preference because you could always change the colors and add and remove wax for different techniques…BEST COURT- Over Black smooth tar in the summer…(AMBOY st. between Blake and Sutter in Brownsville)…The Great Ole Days…
