Hi Woodies - my brother, Brian, turned me onto this chatroom. I read a little and someone mentioned Jason's toystore. Bought me way back. How about the potato salad at Gay's Deli??? Haven't tasted anything like that in years.

For all you Dave Matthews Band lovers...Have I got story for you. My neice is 17 and a friend got her surprise tickets to their concert as a belated BD present. The tickets were in the Members Only section. A guy comes up to them while they were eating and starts talking to them and they tried to shoo them away. Then my neice noticed he was wearing a tee shirt that said, "Dave Matthews Band" on it. Well, it turns out that they won some contest and were put in seats right in the front row. Towards the end of the show, they were lifting her up to the stage and the guitar player gave her his guitar pick. She is ready to frame it and is the envy of all her friends. While she was there she called my sister so she could hear the music. Then she called her when she got out of the concert and was flying on air. What a great thrill for those kids. Eat your hearts out DMB lovers.

Wow, Manor Deli. Always remember going in there with Grandma, who lived on 94th Street. You could eat off the floor in that place. My dad complains about potato salad all the time, says you can never find any like Woodhaven sold. He says all the Woodhaven delis sliced their potatoes really thin, and now all potato salad is chunky. What, did one of the old Germans in Manor die and let one of those "boys in hats" start making decisions?

Another restaurant review...."Eat This",the restaurant owned and operated by the (in)famous Anti-Skell,has recieved a four grenade rating from the Macedonian League of Displaced Women Guerilla Fighters. The cuisine,is a hearty mix of Indo/Europa, Pan/Croat,Gypsy/Slovenly Slav,and cheeseburger-pepsi type Greek/Dirty Guinea. It also has an extensive menu selection of smelly,beany stuff,with a kick not unlike that of a savage mule...The wait staff,while generally unkempt,does bathe occaisionally,giving the establishment a Twilight Zone Diner feel.Prices,well, we don't have to discuss that now.Entertainment is provided nightly by the equally (in)famous SkellTones-that is, when they are not standing guard duty at Marge's garage construction.While it is not Peter Luger's, or even Pierre Lugee's for that matter,it surely is quite an experience-gustatorially,colonically,and psychologically.Don't miss it.Have your papers in order, or you will have to step into the side alley with Pyotr Moronovich,the security meister...Bon Apetit !!!

Vegetarians may have a lower risk of heart disease and bowel cancer than meat and fish eaters because of an acid found in fruit and vegetables, Scottish scientists said on Thursday. Like people taking low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks vegetarians have lots of salicylic acid, aspirin's main anti-inflammatory component, in their blood. Dr. John Paterson, a chemical pathologist at the Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary in Scotland believes salicylic acid could protect vegetarians from heart disease and cancer just as it protects people taking aspirin. ``Studies have shown that if you eat fruits and vegetables you have a lower risk of heart disease, strokes and cancer. Part of the reason to explain that lower risk could be salicylic acid,'' Paterson said in a telephone interview. There may be other compounds that also help, he added, but none of them have been proven to have this impact. Paterson and his team developed a method to measure the levels of salicylic acid in blood. They compared levels in 37 vegetarian Buddhist monks, 39 meat and fish eaters and 14 diabetes patients taking low-dose aspirin. Their research is published in the Journal of Clinical Pathology. The researchers discovered that vegetarians had levels of salicylic acid 12 times higher than the meat and fish eaters, but lower than the diabetics taking 75 mg of aspirin a day. ``These findings may explain in part the health promoting effects of dietary fruits and vegetables,'' the researchers said in the journal. Paterson said fruits and vegetables did not have the anti-clotting properties of aspirin but the salicylic acid reduced inflammation. They believe it is beneficial because heart disease is caused by a narrowing and hardening of the arteries, which is a chronic inflammatory disease process. Even low levels of dietary salicylic acid may interfere with enzymes that increase inflammation, which could also explain why a diet high in fruits and vegetables may protect against bowel cancer. Many fruits and vegetables contain salicylic acid but the scientists said herbs and spices have the greatest concentrations.

To catch up...Mickster, for god sake's hello! If that was really you posting, YOU could've said hi too ;) C78: Haven't tried that place yet but it always has a full house so I believe you when you say the food is good. On the corner opposite Bridie's there is a new place called Silver Thai and the food is wonderful! The service is great and if anyone is wary of Thai spices all dishes can be ordered "mild". The duck tamarind is awesome - worth checking out. Note about Manor Deli: I think this was mentioned, they CHANGED the potato salad recipe! Why!? It is close but different and the strangest thing is I am usually asked to bring their salads when I visit ex-Woodhaveners and everyone face drops when they taste the stuff. Whatever they did is sooo noticeable. Skellington: Don't know if I will get a chance to finish the lyric, but if I do you will be the first to know! And about Bob Hope...I, for one, will never miss him when he's gone.

The saddest thing has happened... One of America’s best loved actors, Jack Lemmon, whose talents ranged from the adroit comedy of “The Apartment” and “Some Like It Hot” to the dramatic intensity of “Days of Wine and Roses” and “Tuesdays with Morrie,” has died at the age of 76. He won a clutch of awards including two Oscars, an Emmy, the Golden Globes and the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award in a career spanning more than 50 years. LEMMON DIED Wednesday at about 10 p.m. from complications related to cancer, said longtime spokesman Warren Cowan. His wife, Felicia and two of his children were at his bedside at USC/Norris Cancer Clinic, Cowan said. “He is one of the greatest actors in the history of the business,” Cowan said. “To say one word about him would be beautiful. It’s an opinion that is shared by everybody who knew him.”

When this old world starts getting you down, and people are just too much for me to face. I climb way up to the top of the stairs, and all my cares just drift right into space. On the roof's it's peaceful as can be. And there the world below can't bother me. Let me tell you now, when I come home feeling tired and weak I go up where the air is fresh and sweet. I get away from the hustling crowd and all that rat race noise down in the street. On the roof's the only place I know. Where you just have to wish to make it so...let's go, up on the roof. At night the stars put on a show for free. And darlin' you can share it all with me. I keep a tellin' you, right smack dab in the middle of town, I found a paradise that's trouble proof. So if this world starts getting you down, there's room enough for two up on the roof. Up on the roof. Oh, come on baby, (Up on the roof)come on honey (up on the roof) Everything's all right(up on roof).....

Wilson was his name.Named of course after the brand of volleyball that it was.Classic trivia,you either know this or you will look it up.Name the two movies that James Cagney portrayed the same character in.This is a good question and will be answered by someone with a bit of knowledge of the classics.

The other day at the 179th Street Subway stop in Jamaica on my way to the parking lot to pick up my car, I came upon none other than "Henry". He was wandering aimlessly along Hillside Avenue. I didn't notice him at first. He noticed me and approached me. After some aimless chatter, he walked away. It was then that I noticed how old he had gotten or maybe just how old that I had gotten. I don't write on this site but I read often. I just thought that some of us would like to know that Henry is still wandering the streets, hopefully under the watchful eye of our Creator.

There is a new book out written by a son of Woodhaven which is sure to be enjoyed by anyone who ever lived in our "Haven in the City". It's called "Spider Stumbled" by Frank Paul Venis. You can find it at iUniverse.com (click on the bookstore) or by calling (877)823-9235. The story is set in Woodhaven in the early 1990's and it's got all the old familiar things one can only find in Woodhaven. It's really good reading!

For you chow hounds out there, the Sat night fare for dinner guests was...for appetizers down by the pool, toasted pita wedges coated with melted butter and minced garlic for the bruchetta I made. Also, a dish of olive oil with red pepper flakes, salt and basil with a great bread for dipping. Also, Mr. Marge made wonderful quacamole (sp?). Dinner...Salmon on the grill, served with pesto on it, rice cooked in chicken broth and lemon rind and served with grated lemon rind on top, and zuchini, yellow squash, carrots, onions with olive oil, sea salt and seasonsings sprinkled over, wrapped in foil and steamed on the grill. Desert was peach cobbler, served with peach ice cream. We had lots of wine, and after dinner drinks of nuts and berries and cream for the ladies and single malt scotch for the guys. We had a great evening. The first normal weekend since the crash. Spent yesterday riding our new bikes and sitting by the pool finishing off the bruchetta and quacamole. Gorgeous day!

We did hang out in the spot that used to be the garage for a while with the guest talking about the whole harrowing incident. They passed on the butt splinters though. We did find more car parts and glass and pieces of brick and cinderblock while mulching. Think we'll be finding those for some time to come. The crew showed up this morning to start construction of the new garage. Yes!!! I can't wait. However, Hubby is going to be away tomorrow night and I'm am a bit freaked.

I too spent lots, too much even, time in the sun at Rockaway & Far Rockaway & Jones Beach getting bad burns in the day when it hurt and then you got better and thought that was the end of it. Little did we know. I've never really liked the parts of Florida that I've been to; Miami (at 15), Jacksonville & St. Petersburg around 1973. I'm a definite South Carolina/Hilton Head lover. Can't plant tulips, the deer eat them. Don't drink Rheingold, I'm a Miller or Coor's Lite girl.

I have a freind who has a time share at the Galleon, but he married a woman who doesn't like Key West, doesn't think Key West is kid friendly, and thinks all of Florida is too hot in the summer (lucky for me!!), so he gives me his time share to use. It's nicer than my house, with a hot tub and a balcony overlooking "to die for" boats in the harbor. Last year we went kayaking all over the island one day. It's a whole different life down there.

MARY: We have our girl on split visitation which includes several weeks during the summer. We plan the hell out of each and every day and LOVE to play. It's all precious when you don't take it for granted. We go to Vermont (our own time share) in a couple of weeks with our girl and our nephew (they are best buddies). Our week in August is still under discussion. Haven't been to the Keys in a million years but it all sounds good to me. The weekends in between will cover camping in the woods (our first time - say prayers!), two weekends at our pals beach house in NJ, and a trip to Rhode Island to tour Newport and those great beaches and one family reunion. If there is a single minute left - believe me we will make plans. This summer's new sport is kayaking so we will see where that takes us. Our girl is a real nature lover and giggle pot. Whatever we do is fun with her. Mr.Tish and I are on our own this weekend but are heading to Mystic, CT and Providence, Rhode Island in an hour. Hope the traffic is gone by then! Have a good weekend and don't worry about that rain. It was supposed to rain today and all I saw was sun.

I'll be going to Key West for a week (a friend's time share) ... feel free to join me,the place sleeps 6. And a few days at my friend's house in Wildwood NJ will be fun. And I want to go hot air ballooning upstate ... in past years I toyed with the idea of sky diving, but I never did it, and now I think I'm too old to be jumping out of planes.

I'm depressed. And, it's getting cloudy right now. But, it's Friday. I was out running some errands at lunch and just before I drove back into the parking garage an old song came on, "Up On The Roof", from the 60's and I was singin' my little heart out.

Post partum and bi-polar! How could it have happened? Individual choice, good intentions from a twisted mind, perhaps Catholisism. There wasn't enough medication for that woman and those close to her weren't strong enough to step in. The terror those kids felt! Especially the oldest who was chased. I was so deeply sad when I read that story, as I was for the firemen that died. I feel terribly for that 13 year old that was playing and accidentally knocked over the can that caused the fire. He is beside himself and he has a long life to go. Some weeks it just brings you down, and its harder to understand why these losses happen. Where's John Lee when you need him? The sky is crying.

Curious, LOVE when you get into it! Agree that drugs is drugs is drugs - legal or otherwise. We have more activism now, so you will forever see more lawsuits. Don't get me started on all the interest groups that REALLY run this country! As for Carrol, that poor man could never deal with his son's death, but concentrated on bringing info to others as a last valentine to him. His son had genetic weaknesses, and yes, we are all responsible for ourselves. But the similarity is that both corporations, tobacco and drugs - government approved or not - are insidious pushers remains. Their greatest success is preying on the masses, who are too dim to catch on. As for Entenmanns - IT WAS A JOKE! But I'll start doing laps tonight anyway.

...oh- and the junkfood thing-- i think that people can induldge in crappy food in moderation and still maintain health, yet cigarettes are so addictive, that most people can't stay at just a few..... but i really think that if people just took better care of themselves and exercised more, then we would not need to have the HMO's and drug companies get rich off the fat and unhealthy people that need 50 different meds by the time they hit 60. i don't want the government to pay for everybody's meds, i want people to take better care of themselves. sorry- time to get off the soapbox.

i think people are right in suing the cigarette companies because they knew that what they were selling were deadly- and they admit to putting in more and more addictive substances. the only reason this country took a turn on the butt companies is because the health industry started losing money because of all the sick and dying smokers....before that, the gov't endorsed the cigarette companies, and they all reaped the profits!! i think that as long as drugs are illegal, you are on your own and can hold no one else but yourself responsible for your destructive behavior. i don't think caroll o'connor could accept that fact that his son was an addict, and he had to place blame to someone other than his son.

Families are suing cigarette companies in class action lawsuits and otherwise, for the addictive and poisonous influence tobacco and nicotine has...not unlike Carrol O'Connor suing the drug dealer for providing coke to his son - again and again. It may be free choice going in, but it is illness and gross addiction from that moment forward. Something that both the big companies and drug cartels know all too well. Profiteering at the detriment of the consumer. Now, does anybody know if I can sue Entenmanns?

John Lee Hooker, the transcendent Delta bluesman whose electric boogie grooves and odes to fast-living made him one of the 20th century's most influential musicians, died early Thursday morning at the age of 80. According to a statement from his management, Hooker passed in his sleep at his San Francisco home, surrounded by family and friends. Natural causes were blamed. The son of a sharecropping minister, Hooker grew up in the Mississippi Delta, honing his blues chops under the tutelage of Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson and Blind Blake, and later singing with gospel groups. A move to Detroit urbanized his sound, and crossover hits, beginning with 1948's hugely popular "Boogie Chillen," made his brand of boogie-woogie blues famous worldwide. Blues-tinged British invasion bands like the Rolling Stones, the Animals, the Yardbirds and Ten Years After worshipped at the altar of Hooker. His licks were shamelessly ripped off by ZZ Top, George Thorogood and Foghat. Even Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan cite Hooker as an influence. In a recording career that spanned more than 50 years and 100 albums, he cut tracks with Van Morrison, Carlos Santana, Los Lobos, Pete Townshend, Keith Richards and Bonnie Raitt. He won Grammy Awards and was feted by the Blues Foundation, winning a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996. He's enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. He appeared in movies (The Blues Brothers) and on soundtracks (The Color Purple). As Time magazine said in a profile, "John Lee Hooker doesn't just sing the blues, and he doesn't just play the blues...he is the blues." Aside from "Boogie Chillen," Hooker's signature classics included "Boom Boom," "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" and "In the Mood." "I am proud to have spent my life playing and singing the blues all over the world," he said when he picked up the Blues Foundation's Lifetime Achievement Award. Although he scaled back his live gigs in recent years, Hooker continued recording, releasing his last studio album, Don't Look Back, in 1997, as well as appearing in the occasional Pepsi commercial or Gap ad. He spent his final years in California, splitting time between his homes in Long Beach and the Bay Area, and pulling for his beloved Dodgers.

Tishter: Probably true about the Murph's. PIZZA? UP HERE?! Are you kidding? They don't even know what it is....except for one place: AAA Pizza in Albany, about 30 miles from here. Still, if you want a take out or delivery large pie, you have to specify you want the "house pie". If you don't, you will get a small little thing that's 6 slices. It seems no pizzerias up here can get large boxes. So what you get when you order the house pie, is a pizza that doesn't fit into the box. It's worth it, though. There is a local pub/restaurant up here called the Shell Inn (a converted gas station) that makes pizza with tomato juice and Kraft singles...I kid you not! Another funny pizza story: I called a pizzeria and asked for a large pie. They told me I must have the wrong number. They said "This isn't a bakery, we don't make pies here". Just one more, un-related to pizza pun: When I first moved up here, I was looking for a beer distributer to pick up a keg for a party. I'm in a liquor store and I asked the guy "Where's the nearest beer distributer?" His reply was "What's a beer distributer"? I explained how it is a store that sells beer and soda. His reply (thoroughly pronouncing every single R): "Gee, I neverrr hearrd of a place like that, but you may want to trrry the Latham Beverrrage Centerrr rrright acrrross the strreet". You hadda be there. As for why I moved up here: It was always my dream to live in the country. So, I gave up a really good job on Wall Street and I now work as a technician in a nursing home. I LOVE IT! Once you get passed the smell, you've got it licked.

TISH:>>>> Mr Murphy! Wanna hear a story? I used to work (age 16-17) at FINAST at 75th and Jamaica where he ws the manager at the time. Across the street was the Lane Cafe, a bar where my father used to hang out and tend bar once in a while. I was going through some rough times back then, so my father asks his friend Dennis Murphy if he would hire me. He did. I think my dad told him to lean on me, because he treated me like crap. He even smacked me across the head once. I, being what you might call a "Hippy" back then, soon got fed up with this fascist, drunken slave-driver. So what did I do? I called the union and told them he gives the easy jobs to his drinking buddies, that he spends most of the day at the Lane Cafe (with the ass't manager who he is banging on a routine basis), and beats the employees he doesn't like. The next day, the union guys and the upper echelons from FINAST show up looking for him. They found him at the Lane Cafe. (I'm not at work at the time). My father comes home and tells me "What did you do?? You almost got that guy fired! He did me a favor by hiring you, and now I look like a rat's ass!!" He told me that I quit. I never saw Dennis Murphy or his ill-fitting toupee for years....until he hires MY BROTHER at my father's request (who, I think, was treated very well by Mr Murphy). As far as vacation goes, I'm on it right now. I usually stay right here, tending the house and working on the farm. I only own 5 acres (the minimum you can own up here) and my property abuts 75+ acres that my friend and I work. We grow literally everything that's legal, and even have a few trout streams and swimming holes. Mowing the lawn and doing the trim is a day's work in itself. Only kidding about the pie stands...it's from an episode of Sienfeld (The Bubble Boy episode). BUT, we do have honey, veggie and maple syrup stands. No one is ever working them. There's prices on stuff and a box where you put the money and take your change. What's even more strange is that no one cheats "the box".

Some of you were discussing standing outside of stores as kids and waiting for mom. When I was little we lived in Brooklyn and my mom would leave me standing outside the store and I would just shyly wait, swaying back and forth with my hands behind my back. People would ask my mom, "aren't you afraid she'll walk away"? She knew I wouldn't and in those days you didn't worry about someone walking off with your child. My Grandfather took me to every show at Radio City every holiday and other places,but couldn't take me to the girls room so he would ask a woman who was going in if she would mind taking me into the Ladies room. Try that today. Remember walking with my grandmother in Brooklyn once and she was pushing a baby carriage and holding my hand. Someone walked between us and when I took my Grandmothers hand again and looked up it was someone else. I got so scared. I remember being really small and in Woolworth's and getting separated from my mom and all I could see were those tall counters way above my head (now they're only waist high, like Lewis'). How'd they get so small? Reminds of a cute story. When I was little my family and I used to ride the BIG trains to Lake Hapatcong to our little summer house. At the curb was this huge rock that I used to climb up on (I have pictures). When I was 18 or 19, my ex and I used to take long rides on Sundays. I got the summer house address from my mom and we went to find it. Well, I couldn't believe how much that rock shrunk and how little it now was. He gave me a sideways look and laughed when he said, "No.... think about it though". We got and I still get a big laugh out of that one.

KML: So YOU were the other kid waiting for their Mom! Remember when you could leave your kids safely outside any store? When you Mom would finally come back out, you would tell her all the people that stopped by and said hello while she was shopping. And if your Mom was dissapointed she missed so and so, you'd tell her "they JUST went into Lewis'" so they could catch up with each other. Remember the rides outside Lewis' for a quarter? The black horse? The bubble gum machines at the Columbia Main Branch were still the best on Jamaica Avenue with the best selection. Waiting while Mom shopped was dull, but there were some perks.

T I S H : THANKS for that fantastic answer to my (as usual) long winded post. It's nice to hear that Woodhaven, at least the parks, are doing better. I wonder if we have Rudy to thank for that? My buddy Anthony used to be the manager of Scaturro's, way back when. I didn't remember it stinking in the 70's....maybe it is a recent occurrance. Did it stink back then? Nothing was worse than Meats and Treats carrion-istic odor. The last time I as in that store, I gagged and ran out.....never to return. I figured no bookstores, but I'll bet most of the bars are still around. M I C K :>>> Thanks for the poop on Henry. A N S W E R T O T H E T R I V I A Q U E S T I O N : No one cares.

Glad to be of help, Jim. Once in a while, I would catch the end of the parade when dismissed from SES. I think the parade started at P.S. 60 and disappeared somewhere around the corner after Whiting Square (past the Rock). Do you remember those military/religious cartoon booklets handed out at the parade? It usually showed two war buddies in the thick of battle with graphic cartooning of their fatal wounds and dying moments. One guy would always survive and find God to show him the way. They also had curses like "damn" in them, and any women in the cartoon looked like Raquel Welch in skin tight clothing. Sex, violence and language - pretty racy for back then, especially for grade school kids. They were handed out to everyone at the parade. Wish I knew where they were from, and wish even more I kept them.

Tish- Thanks for the job info for my daughter, as well as those Mc Dermott memories.Now a few notes from my memory... the 78 St. supermarket was King Kullen back in 1958 when my brother Bill worked in their produce department as his high school summer job.It later changed to Key Food for many years. Pizza updates... even though we usually went to Sal's ...a visit to Carlos' about 2 years ago was very worthwhile. Bella Vista was "The" family Italian sit down restaurant for many years. Saverio Maione's Mom was the waitress there until the mid '80's.The other reasonably priced family restaurant was Bruono's,on the corner of Jamaica and 76 St.. Back when a TV was repaired,instead of being thrown out,there was Alex TV on 80 St.,a few doors south of Jamaica Ave. The Anniversary Day parade was for the local Protestant Churches, which us Catholic school kids were 'encouraged' to avoid.I remember the parade going along 91 Ave.,near the 87 St. firehouse.

KML: The station with the movie that played Tara's Theme was WPIX Channel 11. They used that song till they started doing the Sunday Family Movie, and then they used some updated song that sounded like the music in the theatre while you were watching the Place your Trash Here, and Buy Snacks commercial. The 4:30 Movie was on WABC, Channel 7, and if anybody really wants to hear the song, I can hum it to you. DAN: Kids still do go egging, but they make it hard to buy the eggs at all the stores. I see evidence all the time! The carousel was redone years ago and still, traditionally, opens on Memorial Day Weekend. It is lovely and works great! All the parks were redone years ago too. They are clean with working sprinklers. I was taught to avoid the parkees so I don't go out of my way to notice them, but they must be there because the children's playgrounds are CLEAN - no debris! The Dome looks like it belongs in another state, like Iowa. Very pretty, new seating, new lavatory and ticket kiosks. Don't know what type of concerts are coming up, but I'd think it would be family stuff or classical. The Soup Bowl still rocks, just like the kids that know exactly how sneak in...My husband buys a pizza pie for all of us, so I don't know how much a slice and soda cost. Carlos still has awesome, perfect pizza. The name of the supermarket at 78th was most recently Pioneer, but it closed and reopened last week as a 24 hour mostly produce market (which by the way, is terrific! Great selection, good quality and dirt cheap). No, not a single book store. You have to go to Forest Hills to the huge Barnes and Noble or to the Queens Center Mall (I never go there, but there is a book store on the premises). No idea on the Anniversary parade, Confession is held at St. Thomas' and St. Elizabeth's. Thom McCann is no more but there is a Payless for shoes. Jaf's gone. Jason's, still open, added an extra aisle so the whole place is overcrowded and cramped, and made the second room into a card and gift shop. Bella Vista closed a million years ago too and there is a place called the Pasta Cafe in its place with GREAT food. Scaturro's still stinks to high heaven and I just can't walk in there. What do you think? Is it the air conditioning? The place always smells like sour milk, but yeah, they are open. Oh, and if you want to come down here and get bit by a bug, visit Forest Park before the West Nile virus spraying starts. I CAN tell you about the kid sports, and it is probably the same in every state. YES, everybody wins (it is always a tie) for the wee kids, but when they get older age 8 in most sports, SCORES COUNT. There are championships to contend with in swimming, baseball, softball, basketball, soccer and probably other sports (those are the ones my girl plays). I say most states, because these kids go on to compete in state wides if they really rock. Just went to an award ceremony last night and have 3 more basketball games till the end of the season. Believe me, every point counts!

Oh yeah, I forgot something: I heard that in Mass., the school teams and kids sports leagues did away with scores. I heard this is now actually sanctioned by the organizations and you can't be in an official league if you won't play scoreless games. It seems they don't want to disappoint children by losing a game, so they play soccer, baseball, whatever...and there is no winner or loser. It's supposed to help the kids by not making them feel bad if they lose a game. Is there any truth to this? Anyone out there from Mass. can confirm or de-firm this?

Questions re the current WOODHAVEN:-----Do kids still go out "egging" on Halloween? Is the carousel still up and running? Are any of the playgrounds still operational, with working sprinklers and Parkees? Are there any concerts at the Dome? Do kids still go to the "Soup Bowl" to sled? How much is a slice of pizza and can you still get one at the window in front of the pizzeria? What's the name of the supermarket on 78 st and Jamaica ave? Are there any book stores (real bookstores, not book sections of Duane Reade) on the avenue? Is Derby, Henry, Bernard or the "Black Widow" still around? Do they still have the Anniversary Day parade? Do kids still go to confession at St Thomases? Is the Thom McCann store still on the avenue (also: Jaffes, Jasons, Maria's, Bella Vista, Scaturro's)? Thanks...I'd really like to know.

Noticed on the Bulletin Board some talking about blackouts. I don't remember the blackout of '77, but there was one around '66 or'67. It ran up and down the entire east coast. Happened around 5:30-6:45 in the evening. I was in Manhattan at 52nd and 6th, working overtime and one of the keys on my typewriter wouldn't type. Then I noticed that lights getting dim and everyone thought I was nuts. The next thing we know, out go the lights. We ran to the windows and watched the floors of the Americana Hotel go out one at a time. Before we knew it, the entire city was in darkness. After some time, and I guess after finding out how bad this was, we all stood in line to use the phones to call home rides. We only had to walk down 5 flights of stairs and when we got there it was crazy. There were cars everyone. And, we could hear the drone of planes overhead. There were rumors, of course, that we were being attacked by the Russians, or someone, so we were all a little scared. Mostly there was a lot of joking. There were lots of cars just lined up and down the street and the drivers were both looking for the person they were to take home and others would just yell out, "Anyone need to go to Brooklyn"?, or "anyone need to go to Astoria, Flushing, Coney Island"? My then boyfriend, later to become husband, now ex, drove all the way in from Woodhaven. Didn't get there until around 8 or so. I was VERY happy to see him. We took 4 others home before we got home at around 1 a.m. The next day I started out for work and as I got to the top steps of the el, my mom came running up the Blvd. yelling to me that my office was closed. Whew! I knew some people whose trains got stuck in the middle of the Williamsburg Bridge and had to walk the tracks and then take buses home from there. Or had to get off trains in the middle of dark tunnels, walk the tracks to stations and get out from there. Stores were being looted. My mom was in Jamaica with my sister shopping and got home via bus. My Dad met them on the corner of Jam. & the Blvd. with a flashlight and nearly scared them to death when he flashed it into their faces. All-in-all, it was quite fun. But, that could be because I was so much younger.

You could find oldies, new releases and rarities in there if you were patient enough to dig. If you called and asked if he had a particular title in the shop, he'd always say yeah and then make you order it when you got there. He had faster deliveries than JAF's.

Curious, you know I speak for myself, and even a few others, when I say we ALL have a life but this place....it's such a playground and with all the serious stuff in our lives WOL serves a purpose. I have wanted to post some Walken stuff and even dead celebrity stuff to you but had no place to go. Curious, the void is filled! What studio is the movie from? I gotta get to the movies! Welcome back.

Bookstores,did you say ??? Not a whole lot of Woodhaven denizens were literate,so,according to the demographics of the time,bookstores weren't warranted.Sure,picture books were in demand,but not the printed word...You folks were the exception to the rule,of course.The hoi poloi of days gone by...

The lack of a bookstore was quite annoying to a book worm such as myself. Irving Small's (little junky store by Dicks Deli) Had books but he only opened once and a while and the books were not on the best seller list! The Queens Center Mall did have a book store, at least for a while, because my mother used to leave me in their while she did her shopping. I would spend hours in there! Can't imagine doing that to one of my kids today.

We didn't sell lemonade, but I remember as kids, every Halloween we would attempt to make our house into a Haunted House. Me, my brother and sister, and the kids who lived downstairs used to have all the kids on the block start at the front of the house, work your way to the back and down to our basement (which was pretty scary when the lights were out)! We had decorations and scary noises and spider webs all over the place. We used to have so much fun! I don't think we charged admission though.

Bookstores! Yes, Dan I remember how horrible it was that there were absolutely no bookstores. I would go through the antique stores and get some books (don't think I ever paid more than fifty cents). The best thing was when the Queen Center Mall opened and everyone asked "will there be a book store?". There wasn't. But around the corner, by SUN LUCK, they did open a B. Dalton. Everytime I went I expected it would be closed, but it hung on for a while. USA: Kids in Woodhaven don't sell anything in front of their houses anymore. They are lucky if they can play outside without militia to watch for their safety. I always used to buy Kool-Aid from kids even if I never drank it, but the only sales now are the "garage" variety and its the parents unloading stuff - no kid enterprises. We used to do plays, and borrow bridesmaid dresses from neighbors to use as costumes. We made people pay to see the play but gave the refreshments away for free.

Testing....Testing...1, 2, 3........ Hot DOG!!! It woiks! OK, here goes...THINGS I HATED ABOUT WOODHAVEN (1960's-70's)......Not ONE book store, the kerosene smell now and then from JKF airport, the jets that flew over my house on foggy nights, stepping in the dog poop that was everywhere, the noisey el train, ....that's about it I really can't think of anything that bad about the old town. Anyone have any? Thank You Mr. Webster. I knew the guestbook would be open again. A suggestion: in the forum, add or change one of the catagories to "Philisophical Discussion", it should be quite interesting to see what the Woodhaven mind has to say.......

Hip, Hip Horray!!!!!! Thanks Mr. Webmaster! Anti-Skell, you were right! Thanks to the VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE who worked hard to get things right again! I missed everyone! Anyone sell lemonade in Woodhaven? Here on Long Island the kids are charging 50 cents! We used to have carnivals in the yard for all the kids nearby. We wouldn't charge to get in but to play the games it cost a penny! Welcome Back Everyone!
