Brooklyn is where you can find so much to do, fun is what Brooklyn is all about, ask anyone who grew up there. The borough of so much fun, stick ball, punch ball, skelly, Johnny on the pony, stoop ball, ringolevio, and lets not forget blasting water a full block at the Johnny pump through a can open on both sides, just don't get in its way! The home of creativity!
Do you remember the glass skelly caps made from soda bottle tops broken off at the sewer gratings and then shaved down to perfection. The boxcars, skooters made of an old metal skate, a 2x4, and a wooden milk crate and a couple of 3 inch nails; that was all you needed!
What about the Pensi Pinki, and the Spaldeen. Do you remember sharpening the tips of your tops to crack your opponents tops. How about Duncan yo yo's and all the tricks, and what about marbles. Did you ever fly a paper kite from a rooftop so far in the sky you could not see it anymore! Those were the days! and there are many of us out there who can relate to those great times. No wonder they call it "Kings County".
