Thanks for the link.
To clarify, I didnt live across the street from the “movie location” bamboo lounge that stood in for the real bamboo lounge, which was located in the canarsie section of brooklyn on the corner of Rockaway parkway and Avenue N.
My family and I lived on Rockaway Parkway between avenues M and N. (Also my mothers uncle lived on our block just a few doors down from us. He owned the apartment house he lived in)
