My sisters and I used to…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on June 24, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsJune 24, 2001

My sisters and I used to spend hours on end playing a solo ballgame against a wall that we called “Seven Up”. None of us can remember the moves for every level up to seven, or the order of them… haaalp! I wanna teach my daughter and have this one catch on again, it was so much fun!

I remember a negative verse…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on June 23, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsOctober 18, 2014

I remember a negative verse to little play mate. something like “oh little devil, come out and play with me. ——I’ll scratch your eyes out, I’ll— and we’ll be enemies forevermore, 1,2,3,4” How’s that for disturbing. I can’t remember it really, can anyone else? From Brooklyn, NY

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on June 23, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 14, 2014

Hey I love the silly putty recipe and would love to try it, but what the heck is “liquid starch”? I’ve never heard of such a thing…Thanks for a response here.

Wow, wow wow! This site…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on June 23, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsOctober 18, 2014

Wow, wow wow! This site is a blast! Skully was one of my favorite games growing up on 37th street! inBrooklyn. I had a brushed cotton pair of pants, bright yellow. They were for school, and I remember wrecking them up with tar, you know, laying across the sidewalk for that perfect shot! I got in trouble for wrecking a lot of clothes over that game. I now live just north of Toronto, (that’s in Canada for any of the geographically challenged!) and hope to get my kids and the neighborhood into this great game. I have 2 boys that I am sure would love it if they started playing. Geez, this has gotten me nostalgic. I also plan on looking up SPUD, I saw someone mention earlier. We played this too, but all I have is a vague memory of chasing friends with a ball. LET THE STREETGAMES LIVE ON!! Signed, missing my Brooklyn youth, Denise

REMEMBER PERIODICALY DEFECTING…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on June 21, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 14, 2014

REMEMBER PERIODICALY DEFECTING TO NYC 42nd Street FROM BROOKLYN TO SPEND A DAY WATCHING CHEAP “B” ACTION, HORROR, AND KIDDIE SKIN FLICKS CHARLES BRONSON’S VIGILANTE, BRUCE LEE, FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, HELL-RAISER, ETC. There was always more action in the theater than on the screen. Guys on angeldust leaping from the top balconies onto the audience below screaming “I can fly”; gun-shots and stampedes, setting off fire sprinklers… snickering at the couples using the back seats as motels, oh, the memories. Once after having seafood and pasta, I went to 42nd street to see a horror movie with an old guy-friend and spent the entire movie wretching (and I wasn’t bulemic) in the john, as some crazy girl stood outside my stall singing gospel songs, the worst of it is she had a beautiful eerie voice. (Kind’ve like Kate Bush singing Wurthering Heights)It was weird. I went to some drive-in theaters in the south and they had the same cheap movie thrill as 42nd street and they had an apparent b-movie star that I had not been aware of before: Dolomite!
