WHAT WAS YOURS?

I spent 12 year in Forest Hills, thru Jr. high and high school. Can’t believe it was 50+ years ago.  

Stratton was a popular neighborhood place to dine.

“The  Gardens”  exclusive, where the residents hated the US Open when it was played there. They also  put stickers on your windshield if you parked there. 

Get small theatre named after the Trylon and Perisphere from the 1939 World’s Fair!!

Alumni:SIMON AND GARFUNKEL, RON CHERNOW, BOB KESHAM AKA CAPTAIN KANGAROO,
JERRY SPRINGER, THE DIONNES……Most are way before or after my time there.

Potato was my favorite
