My father was a loyal Brooklyn Dodger fan in his heart until the day he died. I have some idea how it must've been for him when the Dodgers (finally!) winning the World Series in 1955, because I remember how it felt when the Mets did the inconceivable and became champions in 1969. Anyone who was in New York City at the time--and a Mets fan--will carry that memory around for the rest of their life!

I remember when there was a milk machine on the corner and a quart of milk was 25 cents. I also remember when the cent symbol used to be on the keyboard!

I remember seeing milk machines in apartment house lobbies. |

Anyone remember Tommy Seven?
East Side, West Side
All around the town
The kids love Tommy Seven
He's New York's favorite clown...
You can tell I was born the day before yesterday, right?

Tommy Seven doesn't ring a bell Fred. What year was he popular? Was he on TV? I remember Bozo the clown. |

It was a local production, several years before Bozo. I was quite young when Tommy Seven was on TV in New York. This must've been in the very early 1960s. And I doubt he was on the air for more than a season or two. Why that show should've stuck in my mind for all these years, I couldn't tell you. But I do remember Tommy--he wore a rubber ball for a nose. |

I think you're both right . Creature Features was on channel 5 and Chiller Theater (the hand with the 6 fingers coming out of the swamp) was on Channel 11. |
