Hi Nick:
Yup! Very possible we do know some of the same folks... I bowled at the Playdrome from a very young age.... Yes, I do remember the hot dogs with potatoe salad (that was back when it was really potato salad and not canned stuff)... MMM Good ... We always seem to drift back to food LOL But that is what I miss the most about the old Bronx - Good Food Good People and a Good Life... I too got my working papers about l3 and had my parents sign to allow me to get it early. My first job was up at St. Anthony's. I worked in the rectory receptionist (Father Grogan got me the job) and I also worked occassionally in Sam's Candy Store corner of Archer and Taylor (used to be Harry's) whom I worked for occassionally too.
Tell me who you stayed with from the neighborhood. I think you may be a little younger than I, Nick. I am 57 and was born in 1949 - Moved to Beach Ave. in the 50's and then to Archer (1803) later on. I graduated St. Helena's Business School in 1967.
Let me know about you - HAVE A GREAT MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY to you and your family Best Always, Patsy
