The Irish Cicle was on the corner. Moved permently to Bch 67th street at the end of that summer. Used to shower off at the corner of the hotel building before entering the beautiful lobby of the Crystal. 2 March 12, 2013 - 04:53 PM PaulO'Connor   I was born in Rockaway Beach Hospital in March of 1939 and grew up in Belle Harbor. I worked in Curley's Hotel on B 166th St. for a summer when I was 13. Worked for the Parks Dept. cleaning beaches and set up chairs and umbrellas as a teeneager. I spent many hours in Irishtown and fondly remember the places pictured here. My Dad had a law off on the Boulevard just off Beach 103 st for a few years.....still have sand in my shoes! Thanks for the memories! 3 March 03, 2013 - 06:52 PM Raymond Murphy   Once you get it...you can send stuff to us.... I also lived in Breezy Point - Ray lived on Bayside... I was the Italian girl on Market Street 4 February 06, 2013 - 04:19 PM Jerry Adams   I knew this area like the back of my hand. As a very young teenager in the mid fifies, I shined shoes and sold the Daily News and the Mirror at all these establishments. In all of Rockaway, this was the place to make a few bucks. I couldn't get any money from my parents so I had to take the old shoe-shine box out and do what I had to do. I grew up knowing the value of a dollar. I've always said, that dollar looks better in my pocket than your's. I am glad to have witnessed the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Rockaway. I will always keep the fond memories alive in my thoughts. God Bless all the Good People that ever walked the beautiful white sands of the Rockaway Peninsula. 5 February 04, 2013 - 07:56 PM Rocelle Ginis   Do you have any pictures of b.116 th street up by the old curlys of a place called Rohrs ice cream parlor.

What a great place to have grown up in and most of all, the variety of people we were surrounded by. Too many details but in short, thank you to those who posted the photo's and the comments would make Dickens blush. Peace and best to those who stayed in the greatest place on earth! Brian/ Beach 114th street 9 December 21, 2012 - 04:53 AM jim fitzpatrick   We would take the subway to woodhaven blvd & hitch the rest of the way to rockaway. We all had white tee shirts with our cigarettes rolled up in our sleeves. after all day on the beach we tried to get served @ Fitzgerald's or mcnulties. How did I get home 10 December 13, 2012 - 01:48 AM Tom Hayes   Spent every summer up to 1960 in a bungalow on 108st a block up from McGuire's. There were three bungalows facing 108 and ours was the middle one. Across from McGuire's was Ward's Grocery. On the other corner was 'Alice's', hot donoughts in morning and ice cream shop in the evening. I worked there along with Bernadete Da7Hannon and we both had off Wednesday night for the teen dances at St Camillus. Best place for teens to grow up. So many memories.
