Sorry to see this site will become part of the internet ether. Thanks so much for getting it started and maintaining it all these years. There were great times back then. It seem like yesterday I was on the bus heading to 164 and then it seems like a million years ago.

I may have moved around a bit but my heart will always belong to Jewel Avenue and Main Street.

Recording Of Song From French Play 1974

2013-10-11T03:13:10.664Z

Hi everyone. I have a treat for you all - I finally converted my recording of Mrs. Berman's French Play from 1974, when I was in 6-4. It is the song "France is a Country" featuring me playing the drums. LOL

Enjoy!

Windshield Wipers fallen in Love or Clock for a Face

2013-05-29T15:30:58.742Z

There are these poems or whatever running around in my head. I believe we learned them in school.

My windshield wipers have fallen in love, but they won't be happy.....goes on and on.

I'd hate to have a clock for a face. The endless ticking inside...goes on and on.

Does anyone remember these or remember the next lines?
Thanks!

Something is new in our old neighborhood!

2011-09-03T12:12:21.651Z

As my Mom still lives there, I go shopping in the area for food all the time.

Seems it is now acceptable to pull up to the store in VERY expensive cars, certainly well dressed and jeweled and pay for your food in FOOD STAMPS!

The first few times I saw it, I just looked on and said you can't tell a book by its cover............but as time went on you hear while standing at the register they think its funny and joke about how easy it is!

Those homes are well over a million dollars, the apartments expensive and their cars better than what I drive.

How can it be so easy for them to get food stamps?

The house next to my Moms recently bragged to me how he pays no taxes because his house is taxed on a religious based organization! He has 7 children and his wife runs a catering business out of their home!

Any ideas on how to bring this to the attention of someone who can look into these

inconsistencies?

I know our parents worked hard to be able to live there:)

Mrs. Bromberg's Birthday

2011-01-17T17:09:46.085Z

Hello, everyone. Just wanted to mention that today is the birthday of one of the best and most beloved teachers from PS164-Florence Bromberg. How do I remember that from the 1950's? I guess the same way that I remember almost every word of the documents that Mr. Karow insisted we memorize. A great school, great principal, and great teachers! We were truly lucky kids!

Happy New Year!

Famous People in February Assembly

2010-09-07T15:45:53.909Z

Does anyone remember that we each were given a famous person in the month of February to learn about? We had to prepare their bio and it was presented at an assembly for the parents. I was Queen Anne (I think Feb 21st) We lined up in the order of the days and Michael Berns (Bearns???) was the announcer 'cause we had more students then Feb. days. When they announced my date, he said, "and now, her majesty, Queen Anne". They put down a red towel and Mrs. Farkas played regal music and I just laughed and laughed, never said a word of the bio and I'm sure my mother was mortified. This still cracks me up and I use it as a story when I teach public speaking. I loved wearing my crown of tin foil and my Aunt's wedding dress...so who cares if I never said a word.

School records

2010-08-19T10:57:58.993Z

Does anyone know if it's possible to get school documents from P.S. 164 in the fifties? I've been living in Spain for forty years, and now they want me to prove I lived in the U.S. for at least five years...since I never worked for more than a couple of years, this is the only way. You can answer me directly at zata3@yahoo.com Thank you for any help.

School Bag

2010-05-14T16:10:51.786Z

As a second or third grader, I always wanted the bags the older girls had. Obviously, I thought they were cool. There is one in particular I remember. It was almost like a pyramid shaped black bag....I remember going to the store with my mother, but they had sold out. :-( Did anyone have this bag or does anyone remember this bag I am talking about?
