Facebook

I am finally getting the gist if Facebook. I don't necessiarly care if someone went to dinner or got a speeding ticket. But I am enjoying that I can track down former friends from grammar school (Bradwell)and High school (South Shore and Bowen friends also. A lot of us were split apart during the turbulent 60's. There was a lot of movement in and out of neighborhoods, and the friends we grew up with were suddenly transplanted to a new neighborhood....or gasp, the suburbs. It has been fun reconnecting, and going down memory lame. I recently found a web page on 1968 class of Bowen. I had a lot of friends IE sorority sisters from there as well as from South Shore. If you didn't grow up in that era and years earlier, you probably do not even know about the Sings at Arie Crown, or the sorority and fraternity parties that the sophisticated south siders were attending. The Tea Hut, Carl's, Bob and Jacks, Cunis Candies, the original White Castle on Essex and Bon Tons on Colfax. What great times and memories. I had my first teenage crush on a teacher from Bradwell, And my friend and I would go to Bon Tons at lunch time just to watch Mr Reece and Mr Starnicki have lunch.. We shopped at Seder's and Bramson's and Joseph Shoes and we thought we were all that...which we were. Bye for now.
