Anyone out there from Flatbush old enough to remember the “I cash clothes Man’? If so, did you know that Dorothy Fields wrote the lyric for a wonderful song in the Broadway musical “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” called “I Cash Clothes”. It was a chorus number and it summoned the spiirit of my young Brooklyn experiences in its music and lyric as if bt magic.

I used to play skully in Brooklyn in the 50’s and 60’s. Used bottle caps – not the twist off kind – and filled them with melted crayons. I don’t remember any big lids being used. The game was a favorite of mine for a while but I don’t remember the details!

Sardines was called hide and seek where I came from in Brooklyn(Sunset Park). Same rules, and I think kids still play it today. Some classics never die..

Okay, you’ve given me more Brooklyn memories. It seems like my Brooklyn recollections are a shared collective across Boroughs and State lines. Of course there was the knishman. And no potato knish since then has tasted quite so right. There was also the Chow Chow Cup, which sold Chinese food in a cup that could be eaten. And there was the Good Humor Man who sold ice cream out of a truck. And of course the trucks that had the rides in the back of them. When I think of those trucks I can’t believe they never tipped over. All those memories of living in the City. Are my kids deprived because they won’t have them?

I’m like any other kid from Brooklyn and remember skelly very well. I remember the set up – a large square – usually a cement square on the sidewalk of our dreams – we’d chalk several small squares in each of the four corners, additional small squares on each of the four sides of the larger square. Then a smaller square in the center. We’d use bottle caps, and yes, sometimes we’d melt wax in them to give them extra weight. It brings back memories of my Brooklyn of the early 50’s on Pennsylvania and Belmont Avenues, before moving into the Boulevard Projects, where we’d also play the game. Do our children even understand the dynamics of the game?
