Subject: my canarsie 3 views

here are 3 canarsie stories, each written by someone who thinks his her canarsie was the best and went down after.One a guy fro the 30s. Next a girl from the 50s and finally someone who lives there now.

there was the soda shop which was ruined to make a bagel shop which was taken out to make a subway restaurant. The park which was destroyed to make the brook which was enihilated to make housing.Each feels his her canarsie was the best and went down when the new element entered. Maybe youll discover that you were that new element.I read one without knowing the year and it sounded great . Then he wrote he graduated brooklyn college and the neighborhood went bad as new immigrants from coney island ,russian s began buying new houses where his park had been. I realized that I was that new immigrant. My canarsie was built on top of his.

(the 40s)Where are children (now seniors) from P.S. 114 around, 1946 or 1947. Does anyone know, Frank Dantona, we used to walk home from school together, (he was a nice guy). What about Frances Pepitone, Josephine Mazza, Theresa Cocchiola, Marilyn White, Catherine Bruno, Gaspare Marone,(all classmates). I lived in Canarsie up until 1989, now live in N.J. My husband, Jim Denaro, died in 1992. I have 2 children and 4 grandchildren. Canarsie was so wonderful back in the old days. Remember the victory gardens we used to plant on the school grounds. Any girls remember miss Benton the cooking teacher. (she was sure tough). I used to live on Flatlands ave. and E. 86 st. The Valenti's, the family had 4 girls and 5 boys, anyone remember us. We used to play baseball in the empty lots next to our house. Cleto Ardito had a grocery store right next to us, and remember Mr. Frank, the other grocery store. Anyone remember the Log Cabin, the ice cream parlor on Flatlands Avenue, it was so cute.
