Event Details

Do you remember Kiddie City on Northern Boulevard or Roger’s Luncheonette on Union Turnpike, or having a free birthday ice cream at Jahn’s? Do you remember going to the Valencia Theatre in downtown Jamaica or shopping at Gertz or Mays? Do you remember the excitement of the 1964 World’s Fair?  Queens was a wonderful place in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. We will share memories of your schools, favorite stores to shop, hangouts and countless other memories of those golden years. Presenters, Harvey Sackowitz & Howard Ehrlich, Professors, St. John’s University
