A compilation of memories by eight residents who grew up in these neighborhoods during the 1950’s, 1960’s, & 1970’s.
In this moving collection, eight residents open a window into the soul of East Elmhurst and Corona, two close-knit neighborhoods in New York City that shaped their lives during the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. These personal reflections offer a vivid portrait of community, culture, struggle, joy, and the bonds of friendship that stood the test of time.
From stickball games in the street to the echoes of jazz legends in the night, from schoolyard mischief to family traditions rooted in resilience and hope, each story captures a piece of a shared past that still beats in the hearts of its storytellers.
More than a memoir, this book is a love letter to a time, a place, and the people who made it unforgettable.
