Living on the avenue, I caught glimpses of a lot of stars over the years with all the commercials in Farrells and the various movies....I remember trying to catch a glimpse of Val Kilmer, but didnt see him. I love watching AS GOOD AS IT GETS and seeing Howard Place and kids in their Holy Name uniforms...so many great memories Hey Steve, you need to continue the tour of the neighborhood and hit 16th St . The Lot, site of many an imaginary game and the place I got my first stitches....the garages, just above 10th - site of many a buck buck or stick ball game. Howard Place, growing up was always full of kids I pretty much lived there. Loved playing wiffle ball with Tommy, right outside the Dixon house. And then of course we had the school yard at our disposal ... Loving the tour, keep it going annemarie

I can't get a vision of your dad in my head right now but, yes, I knew there were more than, say, two of you, lol......the trolleys. How wild is that?? My mother loved the trolleys. So, did your family get a kick out of The Honeymooners?? I remember walking by Farrell's one day and Val Kilmer was standing there, leaning against the back wall......but I never saw Harvey Keitel. I was living far away from Brooklyn when I saw one of those movies they made in the old post office on the corner of sixteenth and ninth....it was so...weird. It made me so homesick to watch the neighborhood right in front of me. Oh, Eileen, that is amazing.

By the way, Eileen, it's a pleasure to "read" you. My friend's father drove a bus and I thought it was amazing when he'd come by driving the B68....it was the coolest job, to me. I enjoy Harvey Keitel immensely, by the way..... Eileen, I should probably know this, but your dad drove a bus? By the way, Eileen, it’s a pleasure to “read” you.

Like spit coming out of her mouth, losing it all over this little tiny kid. Not okay. I'm not talking about yelling, like in coaching and you know what? No one needs to be demeaned to be taught or coached. Just sayin. OKay, seriously, Red, SCREAMING like a lunatic at a six year old.

How about when they made "Dog Day Afternoon" up on the Avenue? The crowd scenes were great. I think most of the guys from Farrell's must have signed up as extras! "Attica! Attica!"

Teaching and coaching requires screaming. If you display some sort of love after the scolding, the players/students know you are looking out for their best interest. There are many ways to be successful in teaching/coaching; not all take the calm route. Case in point, Bob Knight and Pat Summit - two of the most successful coaches in college basketball; both scream at their players. Kids need to grow thicker skin and parents need to step up the discipline! All vocations are different. Teaching and coaching requires screaming.

I mean really letting loose.) I told the principal that there was no job on the planet where you could SCREAM at the customers and still keep your job. I'm a waitress. If I screamed at those dining in the restaurant, I'd be fired on the spot.
