I loved the game “cracktop”….
What about eating dry Kool-Aid…
Grew up in Sayville NY….
Grew up in Sayville NY. That’s on the South Shore of Suffolk COunty Always on my Pogo Stick. I used to hop to school on my Pogo Stick. That was 1/4 a mile from the house. No trick stuff, just basic hopping. We use to challenge each other to see who could have the most number of hops or the longer jump. One time I hopped 5,000 times without stopping. I thought I’d make it into the Guinness Book of REcords I probably was 9 or 10. My pogo stick had a ball on top of the pole so no one would get hurt
Roller Skating was my life…
Roller Skating was my life in the 1950s. When the weather was nice I would skate from Newkirk Ave to Prospect Park. That was a long way to skate but i loved it. One time I rolled over my finger while fixing my skate. My mother still talks about that to this day. I went to Empire and Park Circle Rink and was a speed skater. I have not been on skates since 1977.
90’s equivelant of knock…
How about Crissy and her…
Where I grew up there was…
Where I grew up there was this incredible playground. It was just a climbing place with sand under it. All different wooden and metal structures to climb. It was just between 2 tenement buildings. There were slides too. Then people started bringing in their dos and they finally closed it up. Kids couldn’t go in anymore. I haven’t gone by to see what it is now. Didn’t even think about it till now. But it was really a great place.
