I attended St. Malachy's School on Atlantic Ave (I think) for about 1 year and then St. Gabriel's School on Euclid Ave (I think)and New Lot's Ave until 1964. I know the school is no longer there, but I see no reference to it at all. I wonder if the Church (on Linwood St) is still around. I thoroughly enjoy this website. It's fun to look back as much of my childhood years were the best and most formative years of my life. Thanks for sharing. Marge Bivona |

For those "OLDA" enough the subways were designated Air Raid Shelters during WW II they were also stocked with food rations and water, and supplies
There were Civil Defense steel helmeted Air Raid Wardens, who during "Blackouts" and Air Raid Drills) patrolled the streets with a flashlight, whistle and gas mask ....Street lights were turned off, house lights that showed onto the streets hadda be turned off, or covered with dark drapes, curtains or shades your bell was rung or windows knocked on for failure to comply  ....Cars had top 1/2 of headlights painted black or had visors over them so as not to be seen by "enemy aircraft"
On the n/west corner of Warwick St-Pitkin Ave there also was a steel door in the sidewalk (maybe 8x8 ft) that was an entrance to the subway shelter and supply room It may still be there
super wattage searchlights roamed the skies

I lived on Glenmore ave and around the corner was Pitkin Ave. The subway ran along Pitkin and along the sidewalk were ventilation grates.This was the place where treasures were found down the grates.People often lost Tokens and change down there. If you had a long pole and a piece of chewing gum, you were lucky. A small lock on a piece of string with car grease also worked well. At that time a token was worth 10 cents. Never a dull moment. |
