I had friends in<br />the hammel projects. <br /> i learned to fish at the sites shown. There was an older crossbay bridge,<br />which had really good fishing--and a bait store right near it.<br /> we were almost right on the beach, had a great boardwalk, a nice amusement park--rockaways playland by the sea. <br /> the beach had stone jetties and great striped bass fishing from them.<br />i often fished there at 4am.<br />the schools were excellent--j.h.s. 180 and its gifted s.p. program was my<br />stepping stone to the bronx high school of science.<br /><br />i would not trade my 1960's rockaway childhood. it was wonderful.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838188789058326203.post-87632193277747443802012-03-29T21:29:23.168-04:002012-03-29T21:29:23.168-04:00Is so sad to be living around the area that look s...Is so sad to be living around the area that look so crappy and scary looking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838188789058326203.post-43864360629121977722011-03-08T21:16:09.451-05:002011-03-08T21:16:09.451-05:00When I see images like this, I can't help but ...When I see images like this, I can't help but imagine that some of the people I see during my daily subway commute in Manhattan may live in such mysterious areas.Roger_Pawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785820064904044452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838188789058326203.post-85770378029595913912011-01-04T05:21:00.096-05:002011-01-04T05:21:00.096-05:00Great piece Nathan.

I used to wonder what was out there. it seems like an entire forgotten neighborhood, festering just a short walk from the sea. The Rockaways are such a curious place - the feeling of being cut off when I stayed there was overwhelming and I'm sure it hasn't gotten better. <br /><br />T.City Of Strangershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158677428956744517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838188789058326203.post-56063885857705750642010-12-18T00:16:26.574-05:002010-12-18T00:16:26.574-05:00Not really... a wye is just a three way railroad t...Not really... a wye is just a three way railroad track interconnection.
