The Culver is a very interesting line. I vaguely remember these icons of 38th street. I recall the bocce men. That was a site. I also remember Eddie the Ice Cream Man. Jimmy from Gray Shell. And that candy store on the corner with the the big german shepard. Nickel candy and a coke in a glass bottle. That place smelled funny and the proprietor was nearly room temperature. What i miss the most is the apartment building on the corner being on fire once a week. Oh yeah and that high tech movie screen Bernie wouold drag out to watch Bruce Lee. HOWEVER , the crowning glory for 38th street will always be Otto and his bag of fireworks. That is a night I will laugh about forever. We have since taken the 4th of July to a new level of pyrotechnic evolution. Someday the 38th street crowd should be re assembled at Spumoni Gardens South for a reunion. Well I don't know if they would be up for it but it makes for an interesting story. Ode TO 38TH. Nothing like jumpin off a swing into a pile of broken glass. The park was a strange place for an 8yr old. I could never figure out how that much broken glass was assembled in 1 spot.
Hey John gimme the link to TUTTI BARESE again i lost it and im hoping the SIMMS made an entry.
