Hey guys. you sure started the memories flowing after I read the above entries. We had lived on harrison ave, right around the corner from the old movie house. I can still remember the line when the Godfather was playing there. I read one of the entries above about Howies. I used to work for about an hour or two during the summers at Howies. I would pick up his breakfast from across the street, I CAN STILL SMELL THE AROMA. Howie was a special guy who really seemed to care about us kids. Someone mentioned the Venice In, some of the greatest pizza. I fondly remember going there with my brother and Dad on Sunday nights. He would have a beer while waiting for the pizza. He would say he couldn’t wait for us to get older and have a beer with him there. When the pizza was ready we would head home (2 minutes) and watch The Lawrence Welk Show. (guess I’m dating myself). I never got that beer with my Dad, He died a couple of years later, but I still have those memories. We attended Prospect Elementary School. What a school! Could not think of a better place to have started. If anyone has any pics of the old school, I would love to see them. I guess it was torn down in the 80’s. Baldwin was one heck of a place to grow up.
