Grew up on "Shore". Astoria Pool Night Swims.Cops never hassled us.Nobody complained.The houses were over the Astoria Park Hill on 19 st.the noise couldn't be heard so we were good.The Ditmars Blvd houses on the left and Astoria Park South houses on the right when we were chilling by the water on Shore Blvd.Our neighbors liked that we weren't hanging on the corners or in front of their houses on their stoops.

Ralph's Nova at "The Dumps" heating the tires. Good times! I saw Jeff "Bad to the Bone" Nova in a clip at Astoria Park. I had a 66 Red.Chevelle Big Block at the time. I'm retired now, no more 28th Road. I'm cruising in my 48' Chop Top Convertible Mercury here in Windermere Florida. I'm sure Spiro is still not wearing a shirt!

Anybody notice no Police.Those were the days.I grew up with these people. Astoria Park separated the shore from 19th Street where the houses were so nobody was really bothered."The Shore"as we called it.I Im in sixties now and would love to do a night swim at Astoria Pool one more time. They finally fixed it properly it was closed last year I hope it opens this year.Where is Barbara Ann (the car)and Spiro these days. I am still in Astoria rarely see anyone anymore.Shore Blvd reunion is in order. Probably going to see a few people on Father's Day if they have the car show this year.

@@cos1965I know this is a long shot, but I have a AMC SC Rambler that I believe hung out in Astoria in the 80’s and the kid that owned it hung out at Spiros and raced him at some point. It was owned by a kid named Brian and was minitubbed with N50’s on the back of it. Would you happen to remember the car or have a way to get in touch with Spiro?

Does anyone have picture of crystal gardens? It was on 24th ave from 27th st through 29th street. I have yet to see an image of it. I’ve heard about it my entire life (46 years) of how beautiful it was. If anyone has an image, please contact me.
