of our time in Laurelton. My best friends were Leona Joseph

Gardens H.S. - Class of 1982
Currently living in Acworth, GA. This is GREAT! Laurelton was truly a
wonderful place to live and I miss it dearly. I moved to Laurelton from
Brooklyn in 1975. I attended PS 156 - JHS 231 and Springfield Gardens
H.S. where I graduated in 1982. I went to York College (Jamaica, Queens)
and Kennesaw State University (Kennesaw, GA). I am married
(24yrs.) with two sons (22 yrs. and 17 yrs.) I teach Language Arts in
middle school here in Marietta. My generation of "Laureltonians" had the
advantage of experiencing the last era of innocence. I remember playing
punch ball on the block, playing handball at 156, going to the block
parties and the "jams" at Mentone, Burger King and Montebello. NO CARS
REQUIRED! We gladly walked it, bussed it or occasionally - trained it. I
remember Woolworths, the Milk Farm, Pop and Kims, walking to school in
the SNOW! I remember walking to my first job at Alexanders - my
boyfriend (now husband) carried me on his back at nights on our way home
(he worked there too). I remember knowing all of my neighbors, hanging
out on the stoop and yes - getting into more trouble than I would admit
to my kids...But it was fun, innocent fun. I remember the DJS -
especially the disco crew --Tony T, Freeze, Al. I remember jammin with
them in Tony's basement and I occasionally "rocked the mic" at jams and
block parties. Peace to all of you from Laurelton and growing up there
has made me the person that I am.

Currently living in Land O Lakes, FL. Hello fellow Laurelton Alumni. I
was born in Laurelton in 1966 and lived there until 1990. I do recall
some nice memories there such as the Itch movie theater on Merrick Road,
Walking to Green Acres, Woolworth, the Bike shop, the Pizzaria on
Merrick road. I recall after school going to the candy store on Merrick
road and buying a candy necklace, whisle pop or maybe some Razzle
Dazzles. I see someone also mentioned going to Sam and Ollies. I grew up
directly across the street from their house. They had two kids, Oran and
Nowie (sp). I haven't seen or heard from them in so many years.
I was wondering if anyone here remembers Ricky, the paperboy. I don't
recall his last name and I never knew his family. I've wondered from
time-to-time where his family is. If anyone here can provide further
information about this, please contact me.
I began school at St. Mary Madeline Catholic School. My brothers used to
hang out with Ricky, which was something else considering we're
Causasian and the color barrier was much more divided back then. Of all
their friends, Ricky was the friendliest toward me. I most remember him
straddling his bike, hanging on our fence, talking to everyone. He alway
had something nice to say when I came along. Sadly, one day while on his
paper route, Ricky was struck and killed by a motorist; he was only 11
years old. I don't know the exact details but as a 6 year old, that was
when I learned what death was.

Greetings to every one that was from Laurelton and those that currently
reside in the tri community area. My name is Mike Gee I used to reside
at 131-29 224th Street from 1968 till 2002. I have fond memories of
Laurelton I'd like to share.
1st starting way back lets discuss the street signs ....every borough
had their own color. For instance, Queens was sky blue lettering on a
white background, Brooklyn was white lettering on a black background,
the Bronx was white lettering with a navy blue background, Staten Island
was also the same as the Bronx....and finally Manhattan had black
letters on a yellow background.
Kids were practicing martial arts from watching Green Hornet &
Kato....The Laurelton Movie theatre on Merrick Blvd. between 227th
Street & 228th street was showing Enter The Dragon our 1st introduction
to the legendary Bruce Lee.
Now & Laters were in...along with the charm blow pops....I had many
cavities...the only dentist was Dr. Tesch around the corner from Key
Food on 225th street and across the street from "Dadums" which was a bar
my pops frequented, and Dr. William Mittler on 233rd street who was a
orthodontist who gave me braces with color coded rubber bands. Yuck!!!
Remember Milk Farm, Stanley's store on the corner of 230th Strret and
Merrick, Woolworth, the Jewish shops which was where Burger King was on
Merrick and Franny Lew. The only 3 banks we had in Laurelton was
National Bank of North America on 232nd Street and Merrick and also on
Merrick and Springfield Blvds., and Ridgewood Savings Bank on Franny Lew
and Merrick Blvds.
Also remember the djs in LA queens....Ultra Sound dj baby d, eddie ed,
ultimate sounds, funk machine, disco crew my homie stromies from 233rd
Street DJ Tony T, Easy Al, MC Freeze and the fellahs.
I remember the 1st hamburger spot in Queens.....Benson Burgers where
Allen Ame church is on Merrick and Linden Blvd..
The 1st disco the fantasia, bg manor and hollis night fever disco on
hollis ave and 201st street. I also remember grafitti in laurelton....SEX
131, LIL TEX 131, Freeze 5, Maco and Dan 3.
The block parties in la was the best!!!!! we rocked IS 231, Mentone
Park, Burger king on merrick and francis lewis blvds every monday or
tuesday in the summer time.
Remember the old sunoco gas statios which was turned into churches fried
chicken....which is now owned by tanner electric corp.
Awww man I could go on and on but I wont.
ok 3 last things
1 the planes would fly over us all the time.
the best meals were at peter gus and george which is now usa diner.
twin ponds bakery across from consumers super market they had the best
chocolate eclairs and linzer tarts.
ok that's enough I'm signing off.
Peace.....mike g

I'm a native Queens New Yorker. We moved to Laurelton from Hollis in Aug
1971 from 201st Hollis to 235rd st Laurelton As kids at first we hated
it because it was sooo quiet but we soon came to love it. I went to PS
176 and IS 59 class of 1977 and 1980 respectively. I graduated from
Cardozo in 1983 I still live in the community in Rosedale but my heart
will always be for Laurelton.

Hewlett High School - Class of 1980
Currently living in Sterling, VA. My family (grandparents, aunts,
uncles, cousins, mother, father, brothers) lived in Laurelton from 1948
till 1974. We all lived on 228th St. (block of Laurelton Jewish Center)
in three different houses that my grandfather built. All of us went to
P.S. 156 and most went to Springfield Gardens H.S.. My brothers were
active in every activity offered in Laurelton and our house was always
filled with lots of kids and their parents. My family moved away before
I entered high school. My family were big outside stoop sitters and
would talk to everyone who passed by. Because we lived on the block of
the Jewish Center, Saturdays and high holy days were big social events
in front of our house. Even though my family moved away when I was 13, I
still remember everything about growing up in Laurelton.

Wow, what memories. I did not want to leave Brooklyn. I was 8 years old
and the gangs in Brooklyn started getting wild! The Brooklyn Chapter of
the Tomahawks were recruiting, and you would hear the call go out “SCUN-YUN”!
That means that you were the next cat on the beat down list! They almost
caught Roderick's brother Mark, but he was a track star at the age of 12
(too fast)! My mom said “that is it; we are getting out of Brooklyn”! My
brother and I said “Laurelton! Where is Laurelton”! It was 1971 and we
were on our way down Linden Blvd. pass Times Square store toward the
Belt Parkway. I started at PS 156 in 4th grade. Leroy Hayden was in my
class. My friends, when I first moved out to Laurelton, were Steven
Distafano, Ely Ponaman, Mark Goldstein, and Rickey Emory. I remember
going to the candy store near Mentone Ave. Stanley’s store on Merrick is
were we would get the news papers on Sunday. Someone said they were
afraid of Stanley’s dog...he was blind in one eye. That dog could not
bite you if he wanted too..lol. I remember the Chinese Restaurant on
232nd Street. I remember Chicken Delight where we could get a bag of
french fries in a brown paper bag for 75 cents. Going to the Flea Market
on Saturdays and buying AFX cars to race at Junior’s house on 231st. The
movies on 228th Street were the bomb. We would go to the movies at 12:00
p.m. and stay all day. Me, my brother, Rickey, Stacy, Leroy Monroe, his
sister Michelle, and Charlene; went to see "Three the Hard Way", "Enter
the Dragon", The Fist of Fury", and the Chinese Connection", and “BLACK
BELT JONES”! If you tell me that you did not have Nunchucks back in
those days I will tell you you’re lying!!! I remember hanging out in
front of Kim’s store drinking Old English beer….HOW did I drink that
malted GAS?! I remember going to the Six Plex and sneaking into all of
the movies. We went to the Six Plex one week and to 42nd street the
next. We saw all of the Kung Fu movies on the deuce! I remember racing
AFX cars every day in the summer until the young ladies became a better
hobby. By the way I still have some of my old AFX cars. The cars are
worth a lot of money on eBay now. I should have graduated Springfield in
1981 but I got into too much trouble. My mom moved me to Florida were I
got my diploma from Sun Coast HS in Palm Beach. I still clam SGHS my
school and 1981 my graduation year. Now...since Lisa and Mike did not
give full props to the DJ crews in LA let me put it down for you. Ultra
Sounds by far had the best equipment in LA! The Parker Brothers the best
sound technicians and mixers around. Tracy and Manny Park were nice on
both the turntables and sound systems. Tony T could mix on the ones and
twos; Chucky Chuck was an MC who could rock the mike from 12:00 p.m.
till 12:00 a.m. non stop. Kenny Wilder could mix as well. I forgot the
name of the he crew that my boy Chris Cook was down with, but Chris and
Al were good too. The crews close to Spring Field Blvd. were good too.
There was DJ BO who did the 217th Street parties. I remember a crew
called T-connection also who were really good. The late 80s were the
time that Robert, Ronald, and Carlos came out with a bad sound system. I
do not remember what name they went by, oh wait they took our name when
we stopped doing parties. Ultimate Sounds was the DJ crew I was with. DJ
Kool Kev, DJ Doctor Cuts, DJ ICE, DJ Lonnie B. and Me DJ Magic. We had
the thing that nobody else had, Bronx connections. We traveled up to the
Bronx and Harlem for parties almost every week. We brought the B-Boy
sound back to Queens. My brother and I rocked 231 Park when we sang "Yes
we Can"! I remember rocking the BG Mannor and Mentone Park. I put the
records Disco Duck and Apache together and did damage!!! Growing up in
LA was the bomb! I did not want to leave East NY Brooklyn, but when I
look back at it now I would not change a thing! My mom died in 1997. My
dad still lives on 135th ave and Francis Lewis next to the Ponemon’s old
house. The Ponemon’s had the best basketball hoop/hockey arena in
Laurelton! Because of the Order of the Feather Frat I am still in touch
with Harry, Lonnie, Mark, Roderick and all of my brothers from Rochdale.
Check out the web site (feathermen.org). When I ride through LA I still
stop on 231st street to speak to my homeboys Stacy, Vaughn, Anthony and
the rest of the 1st street cats. I am still living in Queens (Saint
Albans) today. I got married in 1985 to a country girl from South
Jersey. We have 2 boys and 3 girls. I am also a grandfather. Yes my 1
year old granddaughter is spoiled! I am glad to be from Laurelton!

My family moved to Laurelton when I was four years old in the summer of
1970, just a few months before my baby brother was born. I grew up on
227th Street between 135th & 137th Avenues, where my parents still live.
I remember: the movie theater on 227th and Merrick and catching Bruce
Lee/Pam Grier double features...my dad taking us to dinner at the
chinese restaurant on 232nd? st or Cooky's Steak Pub in Valley
Stream...the old McDonald's with the golden arches on Merrick and
Brookville...Rosedale Lanes...Green Acres drive-in movie
theatre...taking the Q5 to go shopping on Jamaica Avenue...my first job
at Alexander's Department Store in the fine jewelry (ha!)
department...my best friends Gina Trice (226th st) and Sandra Singleton
(137th Avenue)...being a little girl and going to Key Food for my mom
and noone bothered me...playing handball at 156...Mrs. Robinson, my
kindergarten teacher at 156...Sr. Rose Ellen my first grade teacher at
St. Clare's...1st through 8th grade at St. Clare's...Mrs. Barra, my
eighth grade teacher..having a slice of pizza after school at Columbia
Pizza on Merrick and Francis Lewis...wishing I could go to Springfield
Gardens High School, but my parents wouldn't let me..High School at THE
Mary Louis Academy in Jamaica Estates...the Milk Farm when it was
African-American run and owned...Woolworth's on 229th...my mom buying my
first 45 (Rockin' Robin by the Jackson Five) from the store our
neighbors across the street, the DeCarmines owned...my mother and I
walking to Laurelton Library practically every day...playing punchball
outside of our house and using two manholes, a sewer and a tree as
natural bases...my older brother teaching me to ride my bike on 135th
Avenue (yikes!)...going to every single block party during the
summer...Gina's big sister Tinka starting a Laurelton Researchers Club
where we researched the history of Laurelton...Marder's Pharmacy (they
now run the Duane Reade on Merrick)...Zickerman's Hardware hung in there
for a long time...Twin Ponds Bakery...the Everything store...I have too
many memories to list here. As I said before, my parents still live in
Laurelton going on 37 years now. After going off to college in Virginia
in 1984, living in the Boerum Hill section of Brooklyn and in Fort Lee,
NJ, I finally settled in the Mill Brook section of Valley Stream (old
Green Acres), so I basically moved back home!!! I love Long Island,
especially in the summer. Laurelton went through a rough patch during
the crack epidemic of the 1980's, but the people fought back and the
community has rebounded. Laurelton is still a thriving, nicely kept
middle-class neighborhood. Huge stores like Home Depot, Target, Walmart
and Pathmark are sprouting up and unfortunatey there's not really a
place for the bakeries, hardware stores and pharmacies of old Laurelton.

Currently

Island when I was 2 (which was in 1967) and moved from Laurelton to
Roosevelt Island, NYC in 1977. It was me, my sister Kirsten (four years
younger) and my parents. I really do treasure those memories of my
childhood in Laurelton. It was an ideal neighborhood, and I have not
found something similar since then. We lived at 131-31 226th Street, and
when we moved, I had just finished 6th grade at I.S. 59, where I
received a quality education that was comparable to some high quality
private schools.
My memories of Laurelton include the following: watching the boys play
skelly on the street, playing hopscotch and double dutch until the
street lights came on...relay races...finally being allowed to walk ALL
THE WAY to Key Food by myself...The bakery on Merrick that sold the
cupcakes with the real sweet and fluffy frosting...going with dad to see
my first movie at the movie theatre on Merrick (I think it was Yellow
Submarine or the I Love Lucy movie???)...going to Nickerson's Nursery on
Merrick with mom so she could buy plants and bulbs...walking to
Zickerman's hardware or that children's clothing store that was on
Merrick near Francis Lewis (Saks Fifth Avenue quality clothing and
Danskins!)...the scent of the honey suckle flowers that grew in the
alleys...the library on 225th street that mom took us to almost every
week....and the Jamaica Library to use their card catalog for big
research projects (and the 35 cent bus fare that got you there)...the
weekly trek with mom, dad and sibling to the dairy store called GOUZ
Rhymes with Cows...
Walking to the Green Acres mall with friends because you wanted to save the bus fare to buy that new glitter based nailpolish....the beautiful wooden floors in Woolworth's on Merrick...the army of hard working civil servants and other professional parents who marched to their respective jobs everyday...chinese handball...american handball...flies up...baby hair...sitting on the front stoop...mom or dad chasing teenagers who had committed the most serious crime we saw in those days: graffiti writing or stealing a bicycle...the stout man who sold pretzels in the school yard at IS 59...those ugly green gym uniforms we had to wear at IS 59...most everyone then had some roots down south, and some would even go down south in the summer...reading Judy Blume was considered risque...stopping at Sam and Ollie's candy store on the way home from school..."calling on your friend" by ringing their doorbell, as compared with nowadays when we plan playdates for our children....and this list can go on and on. Thanks for this site, Skip.

Still living in Laurelton, NY! Hello to all and what a great idea! For
those who might not remember The Spence Family, we were the first Black
Jewish Family in Laurelton and attended The Laurelton Jewish Center. We
have so many great memories growing up on 225th St. in Laurelton, hope
to hear from some long lost friends!

Springfield Gardens H.S. - Class of 1989
Currently living in Huntsville, AL. I am elated to find pictures of the
"good ol'days" in Laurelton. My family moved from Brooklyn to Laurelton
in 1974. It was a grand community back then, I grew up between 228 and
229th on 139th ave. I remember my aunt Doris taking me to the Laurelton
Theatre all of the time. My mother and I would always visit Woolworth's
on 228th street and when I was able to walk to school, I would stop in
there and by all types of good candy. Dad seemed to live in Zickerman's
and my friend Patrick's mother was a baker at Twin Ponds Bakery, they
had the best cakes around. I would walk home from PS 38 and cross the
bridge and smell those nice cakes being baked and my mouth would just
water. I remember the butcher shop (Cows and Sows) on Merrick Blvd. and
230th St. They had the best sausage in town and nice slab bacon that you
just cant find anymore. All of the neighbors were family oriented and
everybody moved like herds of cow to the LIRR station early in the
morning, I still see Dad leaving for work early in the morning walking
to the train station and I would wait for him to come back walking up
from 229th St. or 228th, but mainly 229th St. My first friends were
Gordon Newton, Steven Barr, Corey Bart, Deborah Cook and Sabrina Mims,
Toni Marshall. I miss Columbia Corner Pizza something awful, but thank
God J&S is still alive and kicking. I still remember the drive in movie
theater at Green Acres and the big flea market rush on a Saturday
Morning.
Or what about Alexander's Dept. store or Pearl Visions off of Hook Creek
Blvd. We still have the family photo hanging on the wall that we took at
Gordon's Photo Studio on 227th and Merrick Blvd. on the corner. Milk
Farm is always a classic area for me at home that has been there since I
first came to Laurelton. I still remember the Tavern across the street
from Milk Farm, all the old men would go and get a good drink in there.
I would peep in and look and get pushed out (laughing out loud). Anyway
Thank God for this site and I will make a donation in the near future.
God Bless, by the way my mom still lives there God is good all of the
time.
