There are no girls in those pictures!!!! LOL! We played with the boys.

I don’t know if it still is being played the way we did, I left Brooklyn in ‘82. I do remember seeing a bunch of kids with a football in the street one weekend I was visiting back home in ‘85 or ‘86.

I was back there last September and took my almost 16yo daughter through my old neighborhood - didn’t see a single kid playing in any of the streets where we always played. I was sad to see the basketball courts/outside gym of my Catholic elementary school was a parking lot.
