| 5390) John Gillen Bay Ridge Posted on: Jun 23 2011 | Nice to read posts about Bay Ridge times past, but still alive in so many memories. Had a lot of fun winters in Bliss Park sledding on everything from actual sled to found kitchen table tops. Swimming off 69th St Pier those long, long summers that now fly by so fast. OLA 1958 - Brooklyn Tech (briefly - they were much too serious), Ft Hamilton briefly also, 101st Airborne at 17, after which did finish HS & eventual LIU Brooklyn degree. Lot of great people over the years in Bay Ridge, Ottens early 60s, Pool Hall upstairs on 4th Ave & 69th (Franks ?), Lions Den bar 68th & 4th, Melody Room 72nd & 3rd, bar on 75th & 3rd that now tragically is a Starbucks, and many other great Bay Ridge people hangouts. Good wishes to all still kicking, and prayers for those no longer around. Especially Tommy Keaveney & Mike Kline who are still missed by many. |

Great memories. I grew up on Colonial Rd. and 89 St. Went to St. Anselm's, graduated in 1961 and to La Salle in Manhattan. I also remember all the Friday night dances at the Catholic schools, fishing on the 69st pier, playing ball at the parks on Shore Rd. and hanging out at Hinsch's, Mitchell's drive-in, Green Tea Room in the 60's. Loved to ride my bike with neighborhoold friends by the Belt Pkwy.and drag racing along 7th Ave.(as teenagers) by the highway. Remember great pizza, Ebinger's, The Studio, buying records at Burnbaum's on 86th St. and Gill who drove the Good Humor truck. Couldn't think of a better place to grow up. FYI, my brother Jerry (64)lives in Tacoma WA and brother Joe in Rutherford NJ (57). Retired recently from Butterball as Director of Marketing Research. Would love to hear from old neighbors and friends! |

Nothing compares to growing up in Bay Ridge. It was wonderful. Sad to see how 5th avenue has changed. When I grew up store owners cleaned the steet and everyone new knew your family. You were known from what parish you were in, OLPH 50-60 street, OLA 70's St Anslems 80's St Pat's 90's. Schools were filled with 8 grades and 30 kids in a class. Everyone new your brother or sister or cousin. I left bay ridge to find a parking spot 13 years ago. When asked where I'm from I still say Bay Ridge Brooklyn It will always be home. |
