Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

RALPHIE TROCCHIO WROTE:
My wife family has a tradition, oppose to clanging pots, they collect old dishes during the year and every new year's eve, each person throws a dish for good luck. What a mess, lol

I never heard that one before but sure sounds like fun, My kids would love that !! I would too ! COMING TO YOUR HOUSE FOR 2009 !!!

Banging the pots are a tradition in my house. Even when the kids reached the age where it was not so COOL to do such a silly thing I told them no matter what you have to welcome that New Year in .... always.
Of course (when they were older ) because they saw more neighbors with pots not to mention JELLO SHOTS , it is now COOL.

good to see you back on, that should make the other guys feel better.
Except for OLD GOAT he has no problem being surrounded by ladies, infact he even knows how to get to our hearts :salut: with his great stories.

Elena was great. I am going to call Joanne soon as well as her sister Michele.

Suzie: I worked in Bushwick, on Morgan Avenue.

CAROL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Miss you.

Carol: You really need to get in touch with my sister, so she can invite you and Peter over for dinner one night. You would have a great time there and you can show Peter the house. I told Marilyn and she thinks it's a good idea.
