Hey Lou! Absolutely love this site. It brings back such vivid and great memories. I could spend days on this website. I feel like I am back home in Mamaroneck re-living my childhood. Did you see the post from Dawn G.? I replied but she never answered.

I lived in Larchmont from 1949 until 1983. Went to school at St Augustines. Loved Broderson's Deli. Had the greatest roast beef sandwiches with extra mayo on rye bread. Loved them. I am almost a vegan now, but I can still taste those sandwiches loved them rare. There was a bakery on the way home from school on Chatsworth Avenue they had the greatest eclares. I would stop there almost every day after school. I think. YUM. Behind the Post Office there was a hill, it was great to roll down. That was really a long time ago. There was a restaurant in Mamaroneck. One story made of stone. On the post road, it was really special, had a great patio and I think a band every once in a while. Does anyone remember the Italian Restaurant almost across from Mamaroneck Jr. High, it had great pasta and pizza, I remember Chanti and candles dripping with wax on to red and white checked tableclothes. I loved the Duck Pond and the waterfall. And Sheldrake Woods and the beach in Rye where the Horseshoe Crabs came to mate everyear. How about Manor Park and the Gazebos. I was sixteen and loved the wind and the waves, so there I was in the middle of a hurrcaine holding on for dear life. Literally, the gazebo overlooked Manor Beach. Loved Walter's Hot Dogs, can still taste them. And Cook's fried clams with french fries and tartar sauce. How about Niki's Pizza on Chatsworth Avenue near the RR.
Does anyone remember Maxl's in White Plains. How about trips to Jones Beach. What was the name of the bar/restaurant across from the entrance to the Hudson Park Marina? Where was the Marciano's Bakery that some one mentioned?
Wow! Thanks for bringing back so many memories.
I graduated in 1960 if any one on this site is from that era, I would love to hear from you. I am living in Maine now, many moves and many adventures.

Graduated Mamaroneck High School in 1960. Grew up in Mamaroneck. Have lived in Larchmont for for the last 39 years. Just moved to Bethel CT. Have 2 daughters who went to Chatsworth and of course to MHS. Really going to miss Larchmont - Manor Beach and Park - Park so beautiful. Niki's Pizza still there. My Grandmother lived above Marciano's Bakery in New Rochelle for many years. When we visited her the smells of their bread was so delicious. Would love to hear from any of you who were 1960s graduates of MHS. Lots of great memories.

Do I remember? You bet I do. I am now 75 Years old and graduated from MHS in '54'. I lived on Rockland Ave. in Mamaroneck back then, now located in north western Connecticut. I remember Walters when I would get a hot dog for 15 cents or 2 for a quarter. My wife Carolyn MHS '56' lived in an apartment accross from the post office on Chatsworth Ave. in Larchmont, and remembers the bakery called Mothers Oven. The Italian Restaurant accross from Jr. High and in front of the Mamaroneck Motel, was owned by the Lanci family who's daughter married a good friend of mine. We used to spend lots of time at the Manor and also Flint Park.
We used to hang out at the Chatsworth Ave. school on Addison St. It was quite a crew. Does anyone remember that?

Lived on Rocland Av. The apt blg next to Rigano's Garage. Graduated Stepinac 1953. I delivered the paper to Walters for four years. Made sure I got to the stand M-Thurs. just before six when he closed in the late fall and winter and I would get what was ever left on the grill. My tip as his paper boy. Sometimes Artie or Gene would be there instead of Walter. They also had the best apple cider. All home made from the apple orchard they had in Va.

Funny you should ask. I did not know him and maybe I should have since I was in the TV service business in Mamaroneck for a period of time, until 1960 when I moved to Brewster, NY. I also worked for Towne Radio, Main St., Mamaroneck for a short period of time. Where was Nick Powers back then?

<quoted text> I am pretty sure it would have been around 1963, give or take a year or two...I think the shop was across from the theater on that block...anyway, thanks for responding...I see that the forum lists me in Brooklyn, however I'm just north of Brewster 15-20 miles...been to Brooklyn maybe 3X in the past 30 years, lol

Hi Ed. I remember Nick. I brought him back an ashtray from The Powers Hotel in Rochester, when the seniors went there to see Stepinac play St Thomas Aquinas. He taught me a couple of tricks to keep the tv tubes lasting longer. I live in Danbury, not Wallingford. Been here for 44 years. Have six kids and 19 grand children. Once a year I take the near by ones to Walters, and usually get 35 or so. I also get a raffle ticket from them for the firemen. Maybe one day I will remember to bring mine with me.
