Tony Castro's tribute to the Rockaway Beach, NY of the past that no longer exists. View images of a time that was magical and very special to those who lived there.
@gangsterpeople4life ; Well, above 126th street is great. Below that, starts rooming houses and drug addicts. Once you go down to 76 street, may as well napalm it and do it over.
No...Rockaway is a great neighbourhood. Like with all, there are good & bad parts. Lets use 116St as a guide. If u go lower than 116St..it gets rough as u start to see the projects/ghettos to Far Rockaway. Anything above 116thSt is getting richer. Either way the generally the island is great. The people on the whole are great too. Rockaway beach is very close to my heart. Peace Rockaway Beach & all my friendly locals there...see u all soon.

You're welcome Larry. These are times long gone but not easily forgotten. Just trying to keep some of our fondest memories alive. Although the "old" neighborhood has now faded into obscurity, our memories continue to linger on ...
