My mothers sisters and brothers and all us cousins loved Rockaway from very young to the Irish bars Hickeys and Gildeas. 222 March 31, 2011 - 02:47 PM Ed Gonzalez   These are great pictures with great memories. Basketball on 108th St. with the McGuires and beer afterward at the bar. Dancing at the Irishtown bars and with the name Gonzalez that wasn't easy. Getting sandwiches on the corner deli from Pat and Barney. Where are you two? Remember Harry? Thank god for my Irish mother. ED G. 223 March 31, 2011 - 08:11 AM Theresa Bonelli   I use to go there when I was a little girl, when I looked at some of the photos I can remember the roller coaster. I remember we stayed at a bungalow with my family and was always at the beach...It makes me miss my Grandpa Bonelli. 224 March 30, 2011 - 08:55 PM Alice   I had such fond memories of Rockaway. I went to P.S. 44, then P.S. 105, then Junior High School 198, then graduated from Far Rockaway High School. The beach, the pizza shop, playland, those were the fun times. I have such great memories. 225 March 30, 2011 - 08:30 PM Jim Middleton   This is a great website. I grew up in Rockaway on 92nd Street and went to St Camillus and Far Rock. My Dad played the accordian in many of the old Irish town establishments. I never partied in those places,I was too young, but I remember a lot of them. I was NYC Firefighter in Engine 265 in Rockaway. I loved living and growing up on the beach. I live in St Petersburg, Fl now. Thanks for the memories! 226 March 30, 2011 - 07:57 PM Pamela M Harrison   What a wonderful compilation! I have been to Rockaway recently and miss the way it was. Thank you. 227 March 30, 2011 - 05:34 PM Catherine McGowan   What an outpouring of nostalgia and love - and longing for the simple life of days gone by. 228 March 30, 2011 - 12:15 PM jimmy Hassett   A great place to be born and live if only robert moses never existed we would not have the problems we have now 229 March 30, 2011 - 07:08 AM Mary Moran   What a great place--Rockaway Beach. I have such good memories of those years. Meeting friends from St. Teresa's Woodside at the beach--the Nolans, Burkes, Feericks, etc. Remembering all the Irish bars and the musicians. The McNultys and all the other bands. One guy even played the spoons. When one bar finished playing music the next one would begins their set. A friend and I visited Rockaway recently and the magic and memories are still in the air. What a time and place! 230 March 30, 2011 - 01:58 AM Pat Whalen   Thanks a million for the memories. Although I now live half a planet away in Brisbane, Australia I can remember my summers at Rockaway spent with my brother and cousins in bungalows on 106 or 107 streets during the 50's. The "roundabout" on 108th St. we called "The Green" we use to play baseball there. Also on the St. Camillus atletic field. Other cousins, the Wilsons owned the rooming house on 98th St. Woody used it for exterior scenes in radio Days. Thanks again for wonderful memories.
