Our family (Ben & Anna Wolensky) lived at 153 Richmond St from about 1954 to 1974 when my parents sold it and moved to Howard Beach. My grandmother and aunt, uncle and cousins lived across the street at 172 Richmond St. next to PS 65. Has to be the best place in the world to grow up. Stoop ball, stick ball in the street where second base was the manhole cover in front of my grandmothers, handball in PS 65 school yard. My brother (Joe Wolensky) and I would be at Cypress Pool, Emba**y Theatre on Fulton Street all the time. Great stores, Tony's deli (best bread and cold cuts in the worlds), butcher (Frank's) heading toward Blessed Sacrament where we both went to school. As we have lost our father Ben in 2009 and just our mother Anna this March seeing all of these picture brings back a flood of emotions. I am hoping that we will find old pictures of the house and area that I can send in to get posted. To all the ENYorkers - great times, friends and the best place to grow up. Salute - Anne Marie |

It was alot of fun and so cool to be able to see the school again. I only went to K, 1st & 2nd, but my parents, aunts & uncles all went there. We moved from the area in 1968 when the city took over Elton Street to build IS302. |

Thomas in Woodhaven and knew several girls who went to Bishop McDonnell and knew Vinny from the J and A train rides enroute to Loughlin HS . Heard back from one who thought Vinny got on the train at Cresent St.. I know another once told me Vinny attended her Sweet 16 party in 1964 . I will keep you updated as responses come in from these ladies . Someone mentioned that Elderts Lane triangle ... I am still in touch with the son of the owner of Hopf's Deli there . Also who could forget Karl's Blue Bird Diner at Fulton and 75 St. ? |

He would be mumbling to himself and walked with a strut. Came to find out he was always practicing his lines. This is back in 1966-67. |

Sylvester's cla** ... any idea just were Vinny lived in Cypress Hills and where he went to grammar school . He would have finished 8th grade in 1962 and 9th grade in 1963 if a I.S. |
