My mother took me shopping as a little boy for Buster Brown shoes in downtown Brooklyn, NY. In one of the downtown Brooklyn stores, coulda been A & S or Macy's, in the basement they had a custard counter. My mom would buy me a cup of that great tasting stuff. A few blocks away was the Horn & Hardart store that had a wall with little doors where you bought premade food, like pie, cake, sammichs. My mother would always buy tins of their macoroni to take home. My old man lioed that shit! A few more blocks would be Dekalb Ave. Last stop on the local subway in Brooklyn before the subway traveled over Manhattan Bridge towards Manhattan un Flatbush Ave. There would always be thousands of pedestrians back then. Juniors was a few blocks away.

Swimming at Coney Island. 5th grade I transferred to a paracchocial catholic school Our Lady Of Solace two blocks from Steeplechase in Coney Island. You could visit Nathans and get a Frankfuter for a quarter. Or ride the Parachute jump for a dollar. Incidently is where I got my Coney Island Jump Wings from.

When I was maybe 8 years old I watched Captain Jack McMarthy who hosted the Popeye cartoons. That was when Brutus was named Bluto for all you youngsters, next on TV was Officer Joe Bolton who hosted Abbot & Costella or the Three Stooges - I ferget which one.

There was the Late Show & The Late Late Show every evening on CBS TV. The Million Dollar Movie would come on in the evening with a catchy tune which I found out years later was the theme music to "Gone With The Wind"

There were many music stations on AM radio here in NYC - WMCA- The Good Guys, WABC 770AM on your radio dial with Cousin Brucee when he had hair.

Combat with Vic Morrow or The Twilight Zone with Rod Serling. When I was maybe 5 years old I saw King Kong and it scared the bejesus out of me. At night if I had to go to the bathroom, it was down a long corridor under a skylight past the stairs as we lived on the 2nd floor. I used to slink alongside the wall looking up at the skykight to see if King Kong was looking in. Coming out of the bathroom I ran like heck back to bed. I'd sweat my little ass off every time. When I was 10 my old man was fiddling with our Dumont TV set and this dark cloud of awful smoke rose up from the TV and the tube blew. My old man blew the TV up. We had no TV for 3 or 4 years after that. I learned to like the radio during that period and I was out more than in.

One of the million westerns I didn't see mentioned was the Lone Ranger with his sidekick Tonto. He fired Silver bullets and at the end of each episode a voice would say. "A hearthy farewell from the maked man, the Lone Ranger and Tonto. And together they rode off like me now!

I'm pretty late reading this thread, but it has sure brought back alot of memories!! Dang!
I grew up in the east and we listened to the NYC radio stations. One had Wolf Man Jack on it too (Ranger Steadfast, was it the same one (770AM) as Cousin Brucee, but a dif. late time slot?)
The riderless horse at President Kennedy's funeral burnt itself into my young brain.
I remember when color TV came out. All my friends families got one, but my Dad wouldn't because our B&W worked just fine. I was an adult before I knew the "dream" in The Wizard of OZ was in color!
Those were the days....

I was talking to my dad born in 1929 about penicillin and he told me that his grandmother used a recipe handed down form generation to generation in our family.

When someone was cut and it started getting infected he said, we just scraped the mold off of moldy bread and smeared it over the wound. We then covered it with clean cloth.

That method was used for hundreds of years but never documented. As our family comes from way up in the mountains and contact with people other than from the village was scarce. Fleming discovered penicillin from mold! But he had the ability to document his findings.

So much for my great-great grandmotherâ€™s healing methods after obtaining a sword wound that got infected.

I remember watching Rin-Tin-Tin in black and white back in the early 60's.
Bonanza too!

We watched them in Beirut!

The way I see it your as old as you feel. I feel like 40 (I really know better) but I do remember a few things way back when, like that milk that came in the glass bottles, those were delivered to our house in a horse drawn milk wagon. Then there were crystal radio's (my first radio) and the Green Hornet and the Inner Sanctum, on the radio. Decoder rings that you had to mail in for and then stand at the mail box everyday for a month to get. I'm glad I've lived 'em and glad I'm living long enough to have contact with men like you. :)

Slowpoke thanks for the memories

Was thinking of all the things I did as a kidâ€¦mine donâ€™t have a clue now days

Gas was like .20 cents a gal
Soda was like .5 cents a bottle
Comic books about a dime
Cars were cars with pure power, Cuda, Road runner, Camaro, Mustang. Etcâ€¦
Use to ride my bike all over town, jump ramps like Evel Kinevel (crash just as bad)
Mini bikes were the shit
Show to watch, CBT, Twilight zone, lone Ranger,

Best part being a kid was fun
