Read with great interest an article by Romeo Spadotto in the East Harlem Press about life in "Hun six" street going back to the 1930s. I would like to contact Mr Romeo Spadotto who is a long time and lost friend. Perhaps you can help.
Thanks,

Just wanted to update my message.
Once again.Hi everyone. I lived on 118st bet pleasant and 1st., then we moved to 115 Jefferson PJ’s. I went to 165 ( I think) and 45 and then Ben Franklin. In my hey days I went out with a fella who went by the name Scoobie/ Indio (RIP). I played a mean paddleball game. (I still can ) lol . my mom (Dalila) owned the Bar on 116 and Second called The Pavilion. Who's name changed to the Latin palace. Mom use to also be a crossing guard on 116 2nd and we had a candy store across from the bank, on 2nd ave.
I loved Rex's ices and ate bkft at delightful after the clubs. Jefferson pool was the place to be in the summer. and at night we would hop the fence.(if my mom only knew) 118 school yard by the handball park was my hangout. I remember so many dear friends . Kimba. chachi. Eddie Eba. etc. it’s funny because I attend the stickball festival ever year on 111st to see who I can recognized from back in the day and I seldom do.
So, if any one remembers me-dimples and all email me. I'd love to hear from you. thanks

We are mother and son, both of us born in East Harlem on 120th Street and 1st Avenue. We left the old neighborhood in 1953 after the City bought our property and forced us to move away. Margaret is now 91 and John is 62. We would welcome anyone to contact us who remembers those of us who lived in East Harlem and went to church at Holy Rosary Parish.

I’ve embarked upon a sentimental journey and would like to reconnect with friends from the old neighborhood. I grew up in Spanish Harlem ("El Barrio") from 1950 through early 1970s. My parents Roberto and Crucita where well known in the neighborhood. I have an older sister Ramona and younger brother Jesse and sister Margie. I attended PS 121, JHS 99 and Seward Park HS and SUNYA. I went to the Church of Holy Agony and taught Martial Arts at St. Lucy’s Church auditorium during the late 60s and early 70s. You can find more info on Facebook and Linked(IN). Regards to all and best always.

Grew up on 117th St & Pleasant Ave.
East River Drive. Played stick ball,
in the 40's played until I left for
Korea. Returned and moved on, lost contact with a lot of people that I used to play stick ball with. It was hard to go back to the old neighborhood, because I came a law enforcement officer. A lot of good people and a lot of good times.

Wow!I am thrilled to have found this site. As a child lived in 2012 2nd ave. right across the street from the park & ps. 121. I remember those late hot summer nights as a kid listening to people playing congas, bongos & other intrustments and singing into wee hours of the morning! now a days people call the cops!lol I also remember this store on 2nd called Hugos, boy they made some really good burgers. This store on 104 & 2nd the was called Cardonas & that man was mean.lol the minute you entered the door he was breathing in your face asking you que tu quieres.lol i hated having to go there for my Mom. Was born in metropolitan hospital in the 70's, went to ps.121,jhs 99 & norman thomas hs. Have a sister name Dee & Mom called Elsie. As i read from someone else's post, i remember the eagle movie theater, the bakery in 103 with the pan planchao.lol when they first opened Mcdonalds on 3rd ave. It actually was more like a real restaurant rather than fast food like now, it had a big fountain inside. Jamal town, Morris toyland, little store ponce that sold everything you could imagine. kress,saverama & La Marketa just to name a few. They all really bring me back lots of memories. The Jams in the park! I was a bit young for those but enjoyed while watching out the window.My Mom still lives in the area so every so often, my son gets a glimpse of where i came from and why i am the way i am!! I love El Barrio & all the wonderful people that i've come a cross through the years. God Bless You All!

CULLEN DORN - aka: Butch from 100th Street

I was born and raised in 100th Street (between 1st & 2nd avenue). It was a time unlike any other, and a time that could never be duplicated again. Back then we had no refrigerators [we had iceboxes and we would have the Italian iceman come up 5 flights of stairs and fill it for a quarter]. We had no air-conditioner, we had broken windows held close by tape. We had no telephone and had to scream down the street to our neighbors. We had a black & white television that had more snowy lines across it than a blizzard in North Pole. We had little transistor radios that played the Doo-Wops of our times. Our toilets were out in the hallway and our 4-legged bathtub in the kitchen. Our mailbox was by the garbage cans down near the basement where lived oversize rats and strung-out junkies. I still miss the hissing radiators heard in apartments during the winter. And in the summer when we played games like kick-the-can, johhny-on-the-pony, ringo-levio, stoopball, and doo-wops sung on corners. 100th Street had over 4,000 people living there, and even more hanging out on stoops, rooftops, corners, candystores and jukeboxes. The streets were our first love, classroom, and church. We learnt to survive death that surrounded us every day, as we learnt to embrace life with both arms. It was an amazing time! Our spirits were the recipient of great energies that only El Barrio could provide then. In time I came to write a three-time award winning book: "The Hierophant Of 100th Street" currently being considered in Hollywood for a possible film right. I salute all of you who once lived and survived the old East Harlem that haunts our memories to this day.

I just read the message eulogy for Raphael Antonio Flores(formerly of now defunct Hotline Cares, Inc.) This man was so good that I wish there had been even more written for and about him. I just wish that I had known. Raphael so many days have gone by since I've last seen you and I want you to know where ever you are, I know you are in heaven. I will never forget you, you are in my heart and the reason that the world seems to have changed so much is because you are not here.
God bless you and I will miss you much.
