Reply #4 From: MIL Date: 06/04/2008 I was born & raised in Boro Park off of 49th St. between 15th & 16th Ave.'s. Spent a great deal of my time in the Bensonhurst region of Bklyn. where my closest friends were from. Reply #5 From: Sharky Date: 06/05/2008 Cypress Pool in the early 60's. They played all the hits on the outdoor speakers. If I was lucky enough to have some extra money I'd get a snack. I never got up the nerve to dive off the high board. There were always lots of us kids to talk to. The place was always packed on a hot day. It was interesting to look into Bennish Brothers Stone Works on the way to the pool. Reply #6 From: AL MEZZAPELLA Date: 06/05/2008 HEY SHARKY, I NEVER DID THE HIGH BOARD!!! I WAS ACCUSED OFBEING CRAZY, BUT NEVER STUPID!!! THEY HAD THE JUKE BOXRIGHT OUTSIDE THE GAME ROOM, IF YOU PLAYED THE GAMES BEFOREDRYING OFF YOU GOT SOME TOUGH SHOCKS. WE DIDN`T LOOK INTOTHAT STONE JOINT!!! WHAT WE DID WAS GO ON TOP OF THELOCKERS, OVER TO THE GIRLS SIDE. MUCH NICER THAN LOOKING ATROCKS. Reply #7 From: Larry Date: 06/26/2008 Flatbush- Ocean Parkway and Avenue C Reply #8 From: Dan C. Date: 06/28/2008 Kensington - Webster Ave & Ocean Pkwy, 1960 to 1990. Reply #9 From: Bleacher Bum Date: 07/12/2008 Yes, I remember riding our bikes all the way down Bushwick ave to Jamaica ave and then over to the pool. Once we moved up to lower reidgewood we would ride out on Cypress ave and then down snake hill to get there. Soon after that they turned it into a private club.
