    it would be great to reproduce a club like the tunnel and have some kind of an oldies reunion.
  • Playland and Boulevard Pools, Daniel J Padova wrote 11 years ago:
    I grew up right across the Boulevard from Play-land and the Boulevard Pools. Before the miniature golf course came to be, it was a vacant cinder parking lot. One year, someone set up a miniature live steam railway on the lot.

    Remember the miniature golf course nearby? Question: Where was Tom Gola's Trampolines on the Boulevard? We used to go there as kids but I can't recall the location.

    I just went to Playland this past week end with my grand daughter. I moved to the Albany area and they have one there just like the Playland in Northeast Philly. Unfortunately, they too are closing Sept 5, 2014. It really took me back. It is called Hoffman's Playland. Look it up. Last chance to see it is this year 2014. What a kick. Got so pics too.
  • Former site of Camp Happy, Jim Jordan (guest) wrote 11 years ago:
    I was there in 1949; this is where I learned to swim. Didn't mind sleeping on those old canvas army cots with wool blankets. Once for dinner we had all you can eat rice pudding with raisins ; would love to have that recipe.

    Herb I lived at Tulip & Dauphin Sts. There was a Knitting Mill there in the 50's and now Konrad square and Summerfield UM Church is located across the st. I don't know of any airplane manufacturing. I lived there until 1978. Bill W

    Are you saying you went to Camp Happy in the 60s- 80s? I would be so interested to hear those stories.

  • Konrad Square Park, Herb Shallcross (guest) wrote 12 years ago:
    I just saw an advertisement in a 1950 magazine for a model airplane manufacturing business called PDQ Manufacturing Company, Tulip and Dauphin st., which is at the current Konrad Square. Two things. Does anyone know anything about this business? Can anyone tell me what was on what is now Konrad Square? A factory, homes? , What happened to create the large open space that was used to create Konrad Square?

  • Northeast Catholic High School, Jack R. (guest) wrote 12 years ago:
    Damn shame they closed my alma mater......greatest HS in the world, laid a solid foundation for dealing w/ the world, & made friends I still see today, 29 years after graduating. If the closing was based on the neighborhood going south, why didn't they close LF & combine the 2 schools? Because that SOB Regali took the money from developers like MB Charter & ran, that's why.
  • Catapults (former location), Mark (guest) wrote 12 years ago:
    This is where it all began with steam catapult and the arresting gear development. That activity now all takes place at Lakehurst Naval Air Station.
  • Budd Company Red Lion Plant Rail Spur (Abandoned), David Reaves (guest) wrote 12 years ago:
    Budd's Red Lion plant building was bought from the U. S. government at the end of WWII. It had been used to manufacture aircraft parts. As romantic as it may sound to list all of Budd's railcar achievements as having been built in this one location and delivered on this VERY track spur, I don't believe there is credible evidence of ANY Budd trains being built at Red Lion before the war.
