: :Hi Steve, I remember all the things you mentioned, but do you remember the Trampolines? They were not there very long, because of the amount of injuries, to people using them. The Twin Brothers from 580 Stanley Ave. One was named Larry, the other I forget, were very good on them. Before Fairfield and Starett City, Pennsylvania and Flatlands had a huge junkyard, Carvel (and a swamp behind it where people flew radio-controlled airplanes) and the Bat-a-Way and golf driving range. My friends and I used to swipe the rubber-covered hardballs from the Bat-a-Way because a regular horsehide-covered baseball wouldn't last a single inning on a paved schoolyard surface.
: I remeber going into those lots before the private houses were built. I was maybe 9 or 10 years old. We would catch snakes, rabbits & etc.
