Marge, I remember the air raid drills in the basement of St. Thomas the Apostle. This was during the Viet Nam War and we had to be prepared in case those godless commies got past our radar and attacked us. We would put our coats over our heads, saying our Hail Marys, while the boys made the sounds of bombs exploding.

Baby Boomer - I had Miss Bliss for 3rd grade. Thought the principal was Miss Sullivan, you're probably right. Guess O'brien can morph into Sullivan in about 47 or 48 yrs.

MARGE.......Sounds familiar but I can't remember why? Maybe just a modification of the air raid drill you discribed.

Sounds like a "duck and cover" operation.
Air Raid meant Cold War = Atomic Bomb

Does anyone remember air raid drills and having to croutch down under your desks? Sometimes we went down to the school basement, but I don't remember what kind of drill that was.

You know your a baby boomer from WOODHAVEN if you remember these. Cake sales sponsered by the P.T.A. at P.S.65 with those cupcakes with yellow cake and rich,soft chocolate icing and those little men figures made out of marshmellows,gumdrops and toothpicks(5 cents ea.)The 3 part notes we needed signed by the dentist. First part when you started treatment,second for work in progress, and third for completion.Field trips to the Hayden Planetarium. Third grade teacher Mrs. Bliss and the principal Mrs. O'Brien(she had blueish/silver hair)The fire drills where we marched not only out of the school but down the side street behind the school(and then we turned around I guess to watch it burn?)When the classrooms were decorated for St. Patrick's Day,Lincoln's and Washington's birthday(they were SEPARATE holiday's back then)Halloween' and Thanksgiving.When we exchanged cheap Valentine and Christmas cards(and exchanged the MUMPS,CHICKEN POX,MEASLES etc. etc.)

If Lisa really is a tall, beautiful blond why does she spend her life at her keyboard sending messages to this site? I guess her mirror hasn't asked her out yet.

Lisa is so smart. Look, she speaks another language. How you say - discusting!

It took you ALL that TIME to come up with that crap?
That's not even funny!

Anti-Skell: don't worry, we all know that you are going though a middle aged crisis. Well unless you are going to make it to 100. Sorry dear, I was just trying to help you out, but you passed middle age about 20 years ago. Now I have to come up with another excuse for you. Why don't you stay with Sez sweetie. You seem so much happier when the two of you aren't fighting. I heard that you are actually born with the homosexual gene. So there is really no fighting it. Your lacking that X or Y chromosone that makes you a REAL MAN! sorry buddy!. I always forget if it's the X or Y one!!!!!!

Your tongue will fall out of your mouth once you lay eyes on me. I'm just too, too beautiful!!. I'll make sure I wear my shortest skirt, so that you will know for sure that I'm ALL girl!!!

"obviously, YOU have NEVER,EVER seen me walking down the street. Unless you are a 50ish homosexual." says Lisa the man.
On your way to a club?
Or do you work a particiular corner?, USA - Tuesday, July 30, 2002 at 20:44:09 (GMT)

You only wish I was a man. Why don't you go down to greenwich village and find a nice transvestite for yourself. Or just go get yourself a big fat dildo!!! PIG!!!!!

Does Sez have any hair left? Last time I saw him, he was getting that Homer Simpson kind of look to him. Belly and all!
Lisa
USA - Tuesday, July 30, 2002 at 19:58:07 (GMT)

You are just jealous! I get attention everywhere I go! Please can't help but notice me. I'm 5'9, ALL legs, blonde hair half way down my back. Big beautiful green eyes. And a smile that would knock your socks off!!!!!!! And I'm just as pretty inside!
Lisa
USA - Tuesday, July 30, 2002 at 19:31:50 (GMT)

I think Lisa wins. All I see is her name and you know that must please her. Guys, please go back to telling great stories. You couldn't possibly hurt "her" with your comments so why bother with her at all?

Lisa
USA - Tuesday, July 30, 2002 at 16:48:13 (GMT)

Jim - Anti-Skell - Et Al - I don't know about the rest of you, but as far as i'm concerned, we've reached the point where Lisa doesn't exist. If her probes for attention involved even a modicum of intelligent wit, it would be one thing, but just as I would never debate socio/politics with Leon Spinks, I refuse to engage Lisa.

Well done
USA - Tuesday, July 30, 2002 at 13:13:58 (GMT)

You know you are from WOODHAVEN if you remember these baby boomer sounds.The tinkling jingle from the Mr. Softee truck.The cow bells strung across the back of the HORSE DRAWN junk wagons who picked up old newspapers and scrap iron.(and dropped there own loads in the street)The blaring ROCK & ROLL played over the speakers of the BIG SWING ride.Where for 10 cents you got what was 4 or 5 rows of seats on each side and a fulcrum in the middle rocked you back and forth.If you listened to WABC or WMCA Good Guys( Cousin Brucie,Murray the "K",Dan Ingram,Harry Harrison,)If you remember the squeaky breaks on the milkman delivery trucks who delivered milk to the house and those aluminium covered milk boxes we had on the porch.

Jimmineola---being that you used the term "popped up" in referring to Lisa, she may be just that-a "pop up".You may download an effective pop up stopper by the same name,at ZDNET,for free...she just might disappear...

When one peers into the pages of the world famous Funk and WagSkells Dictionary,one would see the picture of Lisa next to the word "stupid"...and "dufus"...and "moron",...and "yoyo",...and "'tard"...and "breezer"...and "trumpet strumpet"...ad nauseum

Lisa ,I don't know where you popped up from, but if you think that the fact things were cheeper (?) in Woodhaven , was the reason we think it was a great place to grow up, I feel sorry for you.

Glad the nine Pennsylvania miners were safely rescued from the depths of the mine , but I see a few posters here still have too much coal dust in their brains (?).

ykyfw--- As a youth,I remember chasing Woodhaven kiddies into Forest Park.After catching them,we would strip 'em down to the "Looms",hang 'em high from a tree upside down,mist them with soda,and hit 'em with a good dusting of Pillsburys flour.As I got older,I would hunt myself down a good old snaggle toothed Wodhaven babe,sneak past the Forest Park drinkers having a good old Forest Puke,and have a good,old fashioned Forest Pork...Aaaahhhhhh...dem's wuz da dayz !!!

Does anyone remember unfolding a wire hangar and then bending the end to form a circle so that you could go fishing in the sewer for balls? I'd kill my kids if I caught them doing such an unsanitary thing today! How bout dropping a piece of candy on the ground and then "kissing it up to God"? It must have worked because no one ever seemed to get sick. Does anyone know who cut one of the PS 97 fence posts right near the entrance closest to F.Pkwy? (The one they always locked starting around 1965)

Mrs. Decker of the Glendale Bake Shop was one of the sweetest, kindest ladies I ever met. She was queen of the cookie give-away too. She was like the nice lady in fairy tales always quick with a genuine smile. She left Woodhaven some time ago, and may have passed by now, but she was grand and a fond memory to many a Woodhaven child.

I think who and what Lisa is, speaks for itself. At least I can say I'm confident and mature enough in who and what I am that I don't need to respond and/or worry about what she thinks or says. If it makes her feel better to use me as a punching bag, so be it. Those who know me, know better. Jealousy can sometimes be very damaging. So guys (and gals), let her do what she needs to do, if it helps her and makes her feel better.

That note from klm85 got me to think about the bakery's we had in Woodhaven. There was the WOODHAVEN bakery about half a block from Woodhaven Blvd.They had the best, buttery cookies I can remember.The GLENDALE bakery had the best cromb cake,jelly donuts,brownies,and open peach pie.MONADELLO'S had the absolute best Italian Ices(the lemon ice still had the lemon pits in it)and MOM always sent us there for a loaf of Italian bread still warm from the oven.MONADELLO'S also had those rich,delicious Italian pastries.SURE DO MISS THEM!!

You know you're from Woodhaven if you're the only people in the world who knows what a "pretzel roll" is. Glendale bakery was the only place in the world (it seems) who sold them, with or without salt, take it home, eat it with butter, ahh, heaven. This is not even that long ago, as most of these memories go...this is only about 7 years ago, when I left. I have been in every bakery in monmouth county, and when I even say the word "pretzel roll," they look at me like I have two heads. Re: Anniversary Day (Protestant) parade, I was always under the impression that that was a bad thing, that I shouldn't even acknowledge it...of course, I was in school at STA that day, they certainly wouldn't give US off from school to watch non-catholics parade their religion in front of us superior catholic school kids. I can tell you I can true remember the nuns making us pray for "the poor public school children." If I'm nuts, I can always blame the nuns! FORGET priest abuse, how about some good NUN ABUSE stories?!

Anti-Skell: obviously, YOU have NEVER,EVER seen me walking down the street. Unless you are a 50ish homosexual. Which I've heard around is the truth! I thought that was so truthful when I read it on THIS site, that you and Sez are an item! Hopefully you two kissed and madeup, because it really seams that the two of you are made for each other!

I have seen you,and the results are as follows:I have seen better faces on gargoyles,better heads on cabbages,and better legs on coffee tables,better feet on monkeys.When I saw you,you were walking down the street on your hands,feet up in the air,legs spread apart.You looked like a mobile slingshot...

Who cares if i can't spell! At least I'm skinny and beautiful! That's all that matters! And I'm not bitter! I'm the last person on this earth who is bitter! I'm very, very happy too! I have a wonderful life. What bothers me though, is all of you idiot's on this site crying over the lost "good old days"! Who the hell cares! the one reason Woodhaven has gotten so bad, is the fact that all of you assholes sold your homes to the scum of the earth!!! That is why. Did ya do it to "get back" at your neighbor you had a beef with? Now us Woodhaven "die hards" are paying the god awful price. So why don't all of you jerks, go crawl back into your "Long Island" holes, and shut the hell up!!!

Stroll with me and close yours eyes and go back to: before internet, bombings, aids, herpes, semiautomatics, crack, SEGA or Super Nintendo. Way back...to sitting on the curb, or stoop...about hide-and-go-seek, Simon says and red-light, green-light. Lunch boxes with a thermos...chocolate milk, going home for lunch, penny candy from the store, hopscotch, butterscotch,skakes with keys,jacks and Cracker Jacks, hula hoops and sunflower seeds, wax lips and mustaches. Mary Jane's, saddle shoes and Coke bottles with the names of cities on the bottom. Remember when it took five minutes for the TV to warm up. When nearly everyone's Mom was at home when the kids arrived home from school. When nobody owned a purebred dog. When a quarter was a decent allowance. When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny. When your Mom wore nylons that came in 2 pieces. When all of your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done everyday and wore high heels. When men wore suits and hats to ballgames. When women wore hats and gloves. Remember running through the sprinkler, circle pins, bobby pins, Mickey Mouse Club, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Kookla, Fran and Ollie, Spin and Marty, Dick's Clark's American Bandstand, Laurel and Hardy, Howdy Doody and the Peanut Gallery, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, The Shadow Knows, Nellie Belle, Roy and Dale, Trigger and Buttermilk...all in black and white and your Mom made you turn if off when a storm came. When around the corner semed far away, and going downtown seemed like going somewhere. Climbing trees, making forts, backyard shows, lemonade stands, cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians, staring at clouds, jumping on the bed, pillow fights, ribbon candy, angel hair on the Christmas tree, Jackie Gleason, white gloves, walking to the movie theatre, running till you were out of breath or your sides hurt, laughing so hard your stomach hurt. Not stepping on a crack or you'd break your mother's back. Paper-chains at Christmas, silhouettes of Lincoln and Washington, the smells of school, of paste and Evening in Paris. What about the gird who dotted her i's with hearts? That was before the smiley face)! The Stroll, popcorn balls and sock hops. Remember when there were just 2 types of sneakers for girls and boys...Keds and PF Flyers, and the only time you wore them at school was for gym. And, the girls wore those ugly gym uniforms. The sounds of a real mower on Saturday morning and summers with the bike riders, baseball games, bowling, visits to the pool and eating Kook-Aid powder with sugar from the palm of your hand. When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, withoug asking-all for free-every time! And, you didn't pay for air either,and you got trading stamps to boot! When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box. When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents. When the worst thing you could do at school was flunk a test or chew gum. And the prom was in the gym or the lunchroom and you danced to a real orchestra. When they threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed--and they did! When being sent to the Principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited the student at home. Basically, we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by-shootings, drugs, gangs, or terrorists. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! But, we survived because their love was so much greater than the threat. Remember when a '57 Chevy was everyone's dream car--used to cruise, peel out, lay rubber, scratch off or watch submarine races? When people went steady; and girls wore a class ring with an ince of wrapped Band-Aids, dental-floss or yard coated with pastel-frost nail polish so it would fit their finger. When no one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the car and house doors were never locked. Remember lying on your back on the grass with your friends and saying things like, "That cloud looks like a..."And playing baseball with no adults needed to enforce the rules of the game. Remember when stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals, because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger. And, with all our progress, don't you just wish, that just once you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace...and share it with the children of today?

How about the Anniversary Day Parade, when all the Churches would march with their own little bands. What a racket! I always took part in it with my church. The Woodhaven Babtist Church just south of Jamaica Ave. on 80st. We'd march down 80st with our bands and floats, and head east past the neighborhood of Big Rock. I know that was called something square but can't remember. And it was actually a pretty big thing. People would line the streets by the hundreds and watch. I'm sure that that parade is, by now, no more.

I try to lump as many related subjects together as possible so here goes. Of course we all remember opening the johnny pumps( now there's an old expression you don't hear much anymore)during the summer and running through.Remember going to Cypress Pool(and I don't mean one of those season pass things)Putting out money for this was a BIG deal.and wearing those locker keys around your wrist.I remember a summer or two back in the late 50's when LANE H.S. would open on wednesday afternoons and for 25 cents you could swimm in the pool for 1 hour.You needed to bring a set of underpants wrapped in a towel so you could change in the locker room and not wear the wet suit home. We all lined up on the Elderts Lane side way up at the top gate.Finally does anyone remember when ANY PLAYGROUND in N.Y.C.had their sprinklers turned on certain days so us kids could run through it.Oh yeah one more...taking the Liberty Ave. train to Rockaway Beach.

Jim of Mineola: I had my first wedding at Le Cordon Bleu and, I did get my flowers from Finn's. I moved to Woodhaven in 1954, but couldn't get into STA until the following year which would be the Sept. '55-'56 school year. I'm pretty sure that I started then with the royal blue jumper with blazer, white peter-pan collar blouse, those awfulclip on bow ties and beenie caps. However, at the time I was so happy to get out of P.S. and back into a Catholic school it didn't matter. When my Mom called the convent just 1 day before school started to find out if I could get in that year we were asked to hold on while the nuns finished prayers. We could hear them singing in the background. It was like the angels were singing. Isn't it amazing how all nuns could sing like angels and write so perfectly. Must have been those blessed pens or something. Also, I loved it that when you went to mass before class, and if you received communion, you didn't have to stand at prayers in the classroom. Instead you could sit and eat your breakfast. I can still taste the hot tea from my thermos and the fried egg sandwich my mom would make for me with a little bit of salt included on toast and wrapped in waxed paper and foil. Oh, God, my mouth is drooling. My mom was/is the best.

I hated and still hate the Dentist and one time I bit his finger and he was out of work for 3 days. I think that's when I started going to Dr. Serio. However, a few years later when I was dating my ex, we went to my ex's Aunt & Uncles for barbeque and lo and behold, who was there, but good ol' Dr. Vasta. I was sooo embarrassed. I still hate the dentist and mostly only have to go for cleanings. Haven't had a filling in about 20 yrs and it was about 20 yrs before that that I had one. Thank God I have good teeth.

YKYFW: When you call Jamaica Avenue, "the Avenue". When you drive down "the Blvd" and you recognize that St. Anthony's is gone. (It looks much better by the way). When you notice that Smiley's is still there. When you remember all the different ice cream parlors, and "hung out" in only one. That was the rule. When you remember 2 Lewis' (it's weird that one is gone and is now a Genovese Drug store). When you went to Lewis's to buy 45's and they were in little slots. When Rexall was the BIG drugstore to go to. When you walk by one of the candy stores and can smell the egg creams (just did that this morning. Wanted to go in so badly, but the store looked scroungy). When you remember the Willard, Roosevelt (became Le Cordon Bleu where I had my wedding reception) and the Valencia with the sky, stars and all, in the ceiling. When walking by the STA convent and hearing the nuns sing. When the STA nuns walked down the street and you bowed you head to them and you knew they were nuns. When you rolled down the hill at Forest Park (the hill is shorter now I think because of the underbrush and trees growing down from the top, or, maybe because I'm now bigger). When you walked up one el staircase and down the other to cross "the Avenue". When you walked "the Avenue" anytime of night to window shop in Murray's, Jason's, Jack and Jill and Joseph's When you know what "Klugman's stood for. When you went to Jack and Jill for those STA uniforms and Buster Brown for the black oxford's (Yuck!) When you remember the Chinese laundry and the very distinct smell. I was just in Woodhaven this morning. Stayed overnight with Mom and we shopped in Tony's this morning so she could pick up a few things. Thousands of memories came flooding back. Some still there to remind me...some gone. Took Mom on Monday to St. Michael's, MD for her birthday. Came back Tuesday night. Also too her on a sunset, champagne sail for her birthday and everyone sang to her. It was great since she'd never sailed before. You know you're from Woodhaven when there is a part of you that will always know that, and be proud of it.

YKYFW if you played 'asses up' with a Pensey Pinkie instead of a Spaldine. You knew that when you came to bat in the annual 88RD wiffle ball game, that Duck Delano would have something funny to say about you over the loud speaker. That Tarryton cigarettes were 52 cents in Dexters. Stoop ball at the Post Office on Forest Pkwy was the best lace to play. The hill in Forest Park at 79th street to 80th Street was clear of trees and good for sleigh riding. You knew the short cuts through the apartment buildings on Forest Pkwy and how to get through by going underneath the buildings to 85 Rd. That staying out till 11 PM was alright as long as you stayed in the 'dead end'. That Dicks Deli was a rip off. That Irving Small was scary. The Empire diner dirty. Boones farm wine was $1.19. Blackberry brandy fit in you back pocket.

Ken, I like your bargin pizza prices. As best I can remember ,Sal's was the first 'by the slice' pizza joint, but I'm not sure if it was 10 or 15 cents a slice back then...around 1957. What was that bar /restaurant just past the Willard that would have the sauerbraten buffet several times a year ? After a few visits from us that stopped. Another price bargin was when Lucky Strike bowling lanes on Alantic and Cresent had 3 games for $1 on Saturday afternoons.Now for $1, you may be able to rent the bowling shoe laces. Also the last year for car races in Dexter Park was 1958 ... with my PAL badge admission was 5 cents. WOW, am I old !!!!

It used to be the best, now I believe they have changed their sauce and switched to a cheeper cheese, so it's very greasy. The fast food chains are moving in rapidly. It really is too bad. Woodhaven really was at one time, a very nice place to raise a family. And a good place to find some great pizza at one time!!!!!

Traditionally, stories from books are absorbed passively while the reader is reading in a chair. Now, there are different methods. With the help of a good imagination, you can create something your own. For example, you can try to write your own story. It is not necessary to be a writer, all you have to do is to react in turn with the co-author (co-authors). It is a fascinating game, with the endless possibilities. The only limitations are imposed by your own fantasy. In this world you can imagine any rules. Those interactive stories will be published on the Internet, in virtual magazines, and at the end may be published as a book.

Woodhaven Men are the most discusting men on this Planet! They are the scum of all of all the scum. I have yet to meet a respectful man from Woodhaven. And I've met quite a lot of them. They treat their ladies like trash. Would you like to know what's grosser than gross? WOODHAVEN NEN! They are truly PIG'S!.

Sez and Rich - Just to get you drooling , when we went to Eddie Austin's to watch Monday Night Football, I would always stop at Gay's Deli, the last place to carry Hoffmann's Chocolate Cream Soda. Do you think discussing this proves we are now on the verge of senility?

sez... mission orange mighty good also. I saw in the store the other day a milk drink that is orange and cream mixed , it's just like a creamsickle . Now that was good stuff. Remember those days after our thirty inning games like yesterday. That my friend nobody can ever take away. I will talk to you soon i think i will try and add to my nestegg today and work for awhile .... jimbo watch out for those shells , remember you need at least two to three feet of draft between you and the wave ... later

Jim - How does it sound, Rich the Kid has his ocean, I have my poker, golf and music. Life is good, it's ALL good. Only thing is, with my stomach allergies I can't hoist'em any more. So though an occasional brewski would taste good, can't say as i'm missing much. Always was more a cream soda man anyway. Remember Mission Cream. What was it, about 10 cents a bottle. How good was that, after a hot summer stickball game.

jim/sez my office is one block from the beach. I look out at the waves from my deck, as i am on the second floor. It doesn't get any better than this.We open the doors and the breeze is dyno, we have sort of a key west style bldg. Yes i have been known to wander down to the sands during working hours so my office staff nkows where to find me and have even sent a customer there on occasion. Beleive it or not the temp. is usually not bad here , i guess it's the ocean breazeand if it gets nasty you go in the pool or hoist a few . That always cools things off. You are right i am where i want to be , i love it here, only one thing wrong my son mike is still up north. Hopefully he will come down for good in the future. Later , time to hit it.rich

Jim - Gotta tell ya, even for sun worshippers like Rich and me, there are degrees of toleration. When it gets too hot I just don't bother with it, and probably Rich is the same. But the thing is, even the hottest summer is better than the cold winter, so we pick our poisen. You say it's been hovering around 100 in NY. If we ever saw 100 in AZ in June or July we'd bundle up. We've been running 108 to 112 for few weeks now, and that stuff 'bout dry heat is bullshit. It's too hot to do anything but go to the casino, which by the way I do gladly. C ya!!

Sez And Rich - How are you guys happy as hell living so close to it? Three days in a row in NY feeling like 100 is enough to have me cheer for the first artic cold front. But don't worry I still have plenty of time to show those kids at Jones Beach how an AARP member can still bodysurf.

Know you happy as hell down there. Everytime I see Endless Summer rerun on TV I think of you. Talk to ya later. PS, everyone's doing fine, cept Breslin's brother Tommy died.

Someone sane here asked about St. Anthony's. The ground is proposed for a Pre-K to 3rd grade, Senior Citizens home and something else. The ballfields are to stay.

Word has it that St. Anthony's will be a combination of Pre-K through 3rd grade, a Senior Citizen Home and one other thing. The ball fields will stay.

Mick - Actually I should have remembered my own trivia question from a while back, which was WHAT MEMBER OF THE 500 HR CLUB NEVER HIT 40 HRS. That answer was E. Murray.

No he's not.And like sez please take a stab and im not going to give them away in the future one at a time,just said Mantle cause he was obvious.So im just going to answer it:THE FOUR PLAYERS ARE MICKEY MANTLE,KEN CAMINITI,TODD HUNDLEY AND CHIPPER JONES.
