Coming out of the Kingsbridge Section of the West Bronx we had access to Tibbets Brook in Westchester and Orchard Beach in the East Bronx. When we wanted to go away for the weekend it was down to Inwood and on to the "A" train for Rockaway. Some time at the batting cage before hitting the bars with phoney draft cards. Sleeping under the broadwalk, Using broomsticks with gum on the end poking for change in Playland and church on Sunday before returning to the Bronx.Sometimes a little baskets against the McGuire's. A Outstanding existance and utilized in the early 60's after being discharged from the Corps. "UP CLARE" 237 March 28, 2011 - 07:47 PM Mike Riordan   Thanks so much for the memories. Just had lunch with a friend from Breezy on 116th St. I was pointing out different spots I remembered from "summering" in what I consider the greatest beach community in the USA during the late 50's and early 60's. Our family stayed in various bungalows over the years the most memorable being Susan court on 107th and St Marks and Betty court on 109th. Later years down on 97th and 90th. Absolutely the best years of my life. The present generation has no idea of what they have missed. All day and all night. There really was no reason to go home except to go to the "court parties". Thanks for the memories. 238 March 28, 2011 - 06:06 PM mary greaney mchale   I was born in Rockaway Beach Hospital in 1940. Graduated from St. Francis de Sales and Stella Maris H.S.
