Hi Nicky
My husband and I both grew up in Boro Park. (45th St & New Utrecht Ave.) I went to New Utrecht High School, Pershing JHS, and P.S. 131. We are both Jewish. We were High School sweethearts, now married almost 40 years. Yeah, now you know that I am an old fart....LOL We lucked out, and had no snow today. But I am jealous of your weather out there. Who knows? Maybe my husband will drug me, and get me on a plane to Vegas, and we will look you up. Hahahaha.Have a graet day, and talk to you soon.

Hi again Nicky,
Wow! You brought back a flood of memories! I lived down the block from the Loew's 46th, and I remember the chicken market very well, because I had to bring my 4 little chicks there when they got too big. I cried rivers when I saw all those chickens squashed together in those coops And I remember the bakery on 13th Ave. called Renells. I guess I am not that much older then you, I am 57. I myself, was born in Maimonides Hosp, but back then it was called Israel Zion Hospital. I graduated N.U.H.S in 1963, and married in September that same year. I have 3 wonderful children, and 2 beautiful grandaughters. I'm sorry to say that your wifes name doesnt ring a bell. I had a friend that went to Montauk J.H. Her name was Audrey Shaller. I do remember Red's restaurant. We ate there a lot! We also ate at another great Italian restaurant called Gregnano's. We bowled at Maple Lanes, and we went to the World's Fair in Fresh Meadows, Queens. I also lived in the same apartment house as David Geffen (the big record mogul)when I was 5. He and I walked up to the roof and he would teeter along the edge. My mother almost killed me! That was on 56th & 15th Ave. His parents owned the Geffen Corset Shop on 13th Ave. Well, I hope I didnt bore you to death, so I will say good nite for now, and write soon.
