THIS IS REALLY A GOOD ONE TO ALL THE BROOKLYNITES OF DAYS GONE BY -
OLD BROOKLYN
The subway, bus and the trolley were only a thin dime to ride. And if you are really old, you'll remember a nickel a ride.
Schools were the showcase for the whole country.
Tuesday night was fireworks night in Coney Island, put on by Schaefer Brewing.
There was very little pornography.
There were the bath houses: Stauches, Bushman Baths, Steeplechase Baths, Washington Baths, Ravenhall, and Brighton Beach Baths.
There was respect for teachers and older people in general.
There was almost no violence.
The theme of the music of the times, even when it became rock and roll, was love...not anger.
A great day was going to the beach at Coney Island or Brighton Beach.
People made a living, and, rich or poor, people all knew how to have a good time, no matter of status.
There was no better hot dog than the original, at Nathan's, in Coney Island; and no better French fries than the Nathan's thick ripple cuts.
