the boardwalk in the 50's from Doug Bracey
Feb 15 2007, 6:07 PM EST
I also worked on the boardwalk in the fifties first at Bud's cat game where you tried to knock the cat dolls over with a baseball and then at Mr. Haneys snackbar which was under the covered portion of the boardwalk (i worked there two summers and then I worked for Ray manuel's Pee Wee bar which sold all the regular boardwalk goodies ie hotdogs hamburgers dogs on a stick etc. Like every body says it was a glorious time a time we'll never experience again.
All the lunch time trips up on the "Old Pier" to look at the girls or watch the people dance ( the beachbop) I remember going to work at 10:00am and really not being able to see the ocean for all the crowd on the boardwalk until about 3pm before it cleared up enough to see the oceanfront again. I remember going back to school in the fall with my left hand still being stained from making sno cones all summer long and cotton candy. Then I turned 16 and got a "Real Job" working at the A&P grocery store till i graduated in 1960 and really had to go to work. Oh well so much for the memories. 7 out of 7 found this valuable.

Do you remember Curly that worked the knock down dolls on the boardwalk? He belonged to the Moose Lodge.
