Jackson Heights Life

Anybody here used to drink in The Golden Note? It was a classic bar on the corner of 75th Street and 37th Ave.

I used to drink in the Golden Note when it had the nickname bucket of blood. Early 60's. Hung out with the crowd that called it home]

Lived in the Heights from 1950. Remember Woolworths very well and also remember Kresge's 5 and 10 across the street. On the corner of 82nd st was Fields and across was Moss's drug store. Thom McAn shoe store was also across from Fields. I remember Schrafft's on 82nd st and Marie Sheridan's, which was the first place I ever worked.

I used to hang out in the Golden Note in the '60s

I was a friend of and hung out with Johnny Thunders sister Maryann. He was just a kid at that time, but I remember when his sister got married he wasn't famous yet. Sad he was so imvolved with drugs

Exactly what is "jousting"

I grew up in Jackson Heights from 1950. Went to St Joan of Arc. I remember when the church was just one level and it was what is now called the lower church. The upper church was completed arouund 1952 and Father Boylan was the pastor.  Across from St Joans on the north west side of 35th ave between 82nd and 83rd was a park with lots of grass and benches.                                                                 Fields was the best store in the neighborhood. Across from Fields on 82 St was a
liquor store, a beauty parlor, a tuxedo rental store, a candy store and Florshine shoes was on the corner.  Across 37th ave was Baracini chocolate shop on one corner and Moss's drug store with a great soda fountain on the other corner.      Where IS 145 is now there were tennis courts.
The neighborhood has changed so much, somehow it's a shame

Yes we do know it now and it's nice to have this forum to share memories and bring back old times
