Re:

What year did we leave Coney Island for Maple Avenue?

2992 W. 31 St. I think it was Apartment 2A 212-373-2262 became 718 area code when we were in Sea Gate.

I don't think there were area codes. It was Esplanade 3 2262. Fags was Highlands 9 5440. And Fran was Esplanade 3 -8888.

Yup

Sent via tin can and string.

I can remember a big iron and glass front door. Mosaic floor in the hallway. Nellie and Sarah lived downstairs. Bonnie and Cindy across the street. With a luncheonette that had good tuna.

Phylis Krapes (Crapes) lived across the hall and was our baby sitter. I remember one time she babysat for us we made a big clown image by taping cut pieces of colored papers to the wall.

I remember standing on the couch and looking through the glass paned door into the kitchen and wondering why Paula was carrying on and crying. It was when she got the phone call that Marcia was born.

I think she lived upstairs.

Cousin Bobby had told me that once when he was over there he climbed out of the window onto the next roof (our personal playground) and looked through a skylight and saw two people fucking down there.
