Beach
35th Street On The Boardwalk
Photos
by Mark Beckerman, Class of 1963
THANK
YOU to Mark Beckerman for sending these outstanding photos.
Those of us who spent our summers on the boardwalk at 35th Street will
recognize the view. I personally spent every spare moment (and dime)
playing Fascination. I never thought I would see a photo of the building
ever again. This is truly an outstanding memory for me as well as
many others. Thanks. Mark has promised us a few more memories
in the weeks to come so please keep checking this link for updates.
I'd
really like to thank Mark for these photos. I stared at them for
half
an hour. In the second photo, you can see my bar and grill (SAMS).
What
a wonderful memory. My father, Sam, opened it in 1939, and we went
into
partnership in 1961. In 1969 35th street burned down. The entire
family
worked summers there, including many boys from Arverne and
Edgemere.
My mother, Naomi, who worked side by side with dad, just passed
away
June 19th of 2003. Thanks again. Artie Schechter, Class of
56.
Thanks
for posting the photos. I worked at B35th Street (32nd street shack) as a
lifeguard from 1963 thru the summer of 1968. Great times and great memories.
Thanks for the pictures of Sams I had breakfast there everyday of every summer I
worked at the beach. I remember Sam, Naomi, Artie and his brother Mel. Also
remember Renee who sold frozen custard next to Fascination. What great time and
place!! Best regards.
