    Ahhh... fond memories. Thanks for stirring up my memories, Mike! I remember most of these things too. I can also remember ice skating at Patterson Park arena and Skate Land in Pasadena, and the community pool on 10th street- they were my fav. hangouts! I also remember when I was real young a horse drawn wagon/cart that sold vegatables/fruit up and down the steets of Brooklyn. I remember the old Montgomery Wards building - I remember getting lost in there and I wondered up the elevator and ended up lost from Mom - I was scared to death! It was a huge building! I remember taking the MTA buses all throughout town - I don't miss that though - lots of waiting in all kinds of weather. My most fav. memories are when we would hook school and hang out at the Harbor. I was one of the lucky ones, I went to Southern Senior High and it was only two blocks away from the harbor! I wonder if the kids that attend there now also get "Spring Fever" and take the trip over and down federal hill to the most awsome Harbor in the world!
