Under the boardwalk or on the beach late at night. A blanket would provide protection from the sand and hide us at the same time. The stairwells were also great. Actually if you went up to the top floor, there was a ledge (about 5′ x 5′ ) that you could climb up onto and stay out of sight. I used to spend my summers in Monroe, NY. Alot of time was spent in the woods. We would hide in the bushes behind a shed that housed the electric boxes. I caught poison ivy many a time.

Growing up in Staten Island, NY during the early 70’s was a blast. It seemed that EVERY Ice Cream man and the like came around. I guess they felt safe in that strange little place. They must have sat down together and devised a schedule. It was a different truck about every half hour from Noon until around dusk. That is when the mosquitos became just to bad. Mister Softee, Freezer Fresh, The Whip ride, Ralph the italian ice guy, Kustard King, the knife shaprening guy, Good Humor (NO RIDERS), K & N treats (He had sno-cones with a gum ball in the bottom), Spiderman ride(V shaped. The very top was the best place to ride), and Mister Softee again. “Hey Ma, can I have a quarter” ?

well, my first “real” kiss was not very romantic. I was in the 6th grade and Mike and I were on the bus on our way back from a field trip. As he leaned in to kiss me I realized that I still had on my elastics from my braces. YUCK! That was all I could think about the entire time. Everytime we kissed after that I was sure to take them out.
