A podcast intended to share recollections, memories, and anecdotes about growing up in a large middle-class housing development in New York City between 1960 and 1980.
In the last episode before a summer break, we return with Andrea and Steve to growing up in Peter Cooper Village, as they share memories of the middle playground, P.S. 40, platform shoes and Huckapoo shirts.
Jeanne and Mike re-visit the St. Emeric's School quonset hut, a Charlie Brown school play, playgrounds 4 and 5, and friends and neighbors from the 60's and 70's.
Mary Anderson Gallagher, Robyn Muskat Frank, SueEllen Levine Eshed, and Laura Capuano Schmidt share their memories of divided bedrooms, table manners, long telephone cords, and parents out on the bench on summer evenings.
Eileen and Tim take us back to the summer point tourney, awful memories of cream cheese and jelly, "spending time" in jail cells, and the coolest people they knew growing up.
The Nieporent brothers reminisce about roller hockey, the 23rd street pool, their parents, and more in this episode about growing up in Peter Cooper Village.
This inaugural episode has two components: in the first half, we provide a refresher on the physical layout of Stuyvesant Town. The second half is a conversation with our first guest, Ellen Sullivan Hart.
