I went to BCHS. I left Rockaway Beach in 1984, I go back every few years to visit my sister.
It was a great place to grow up, so many nice memories of fun times and laughter!
Thanks Again,
Joe

Good news to hear they are cleaning up Rockaway. They promised to clean it up when I moved to rockaway, long time ago.

For many years it was left to deteriorate up until last year when many new wonderful looking houses went up all along the beach area. From B 76 street - B 66 street (along the beach) ... you would not recognize. Subway stations are being rebuilt and NYC buses have taken over. No more Green line buses. A new paved street (the new RBB) and an influx of a new Jewish population in Far Rock area. Thanks for your comment.

@MyCobragirl You grew up in a tight knit neighborhood. I remember it well cause I lived on B.40 street for a little while. You were probably surprised when you saw your old house too. What a shame that everything there is now gone. We can only hold the memories of days gone by ... in our hearts. Thanks for your post.

Thank you for this video.
I grew up on B91st. We used to play baseball in 180 too! That would have been around 1976 - 1979.
I went to BCHS. I left Rockaway Beach in 1984, I go back every few years to visit my sister.
It was a great place to grow up, so many nice memories of fun times and laughter!
Thanks Again,
Joe

@netcord Hey Joe, I'm sure we have run into one another from time to time back at the Appetito grocery or the post office. It was a great place to grow up and the memories of those days will always remain in our hearts. Thank you for your post. ... Tony
