New York City Archives 2

Posted on April 10, 2012 | Leave a comment

Here are some more of the photos from the New York Archives along with other photographers photos. Each one of them will take you back to a place that once was filled with many of our memories. Time does not stand still. Many of these places are still there . The times have changed and some of the views are new, but many are the same. The part of the Rockaway’s that was destroyed by Robert Moses and left to die is finding new life with new families as they discover the wonder of the sea and the wonderful boardwalk. I still say there is no place like home.

The Wonderful world of Rockaway’s Playland

Posted on March 27, 2012 | Leave a comment

For all who grew up in the Rockaways remember Playland. Whether you were very young with all your families your first time. One can never forget this wonderful place. As we grew older many of us went there to hang out as they use to say and just be there on a saturday with our own friends. Again it was a simpler time. For a few dollars we could be with our friends or by ourselves. Remembering All the smells and the grit of the place is another feeling of home. I have been collecting photograph and postcards for over 30 years now . Its fun to put them all together for all to see this wonderful place. I hope you enjoy all your own memories.

Many of the images of Playland are from Carol Marston’s site More Old Rockaway Photos. Her web site was started years ago and she is still updating the site with new photos. I began saving Skip & Carol’s photos from their sites Rockaway Beach Reunion Website and More Old Rockaway Photos respectively since the beginning of the internet. They allowed me to show thier photos on my blog with my personal reflections.

Other photos are from E-bay where they were for sale. The postcards and paper ephemera still sell everyday from e-bay. There is no copyright infringement on postcards and most paper ephemera as it was meant to be thrown away.

There is no way one can explain how beautiful the sea is when a storm is coming. Some of the days when the sky was dark with a storm coming would be my favorite times. The power of the wind in your face and the roaring of the sea, I would always love to go then and fine all those wonderful shells.

The black and white photos that are next are some of the most haunting of a place that once had such life. There is such a beauty in these photographs such a stillness.

Bungalows And Bungalows And More Bungalows The Rockaway We All Remember

Posted on March 6, 2012 | Leave a comment

There were thousands of bunglows in the Rockaways here are just a few. There are other bungalows photos in other older posts also. They were a special place where one could go for a summer and it would be your home for that season. Many families went back to the same one or same court. This was a special time in our history.
