HELLO EVERYBODY, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME POSTING . IF I HAD TO TELL A STORY ABOUT THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD, IT WAS WHEN I GOT HIT BY A CAR ON ARCHER ST. IT HAD TO BE 1964, I WAS COMING HOME FROM ST. ANTHONY"S AND I CHASED SOMEONE OUT INTO THE STREET. BEFORE I KNEW IT A CAR WAS BARRELING DOWN ON ME , IN THE SPLIT SECOND I HAD TO REACT , I THOUGHT ABOUT THE BRAND NEW BOOKBAG I HAD AND IF THAT GOT DAMAGED BOY WOULD I BE IN TROUBLE. SO I THREW THE BOOKBAG TO SAFETY AND GOT HIT BY THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME THE LADY DRIVING FROZE AT THE WHEEL AND DID NOT STOP , IGRABBED HOLD OF THE HOOD ORNAMENT AND SHE DRAGGED ME HALFWAY UP TO BEACH AVE. ALL THE WHILE I WAS SCREAMING " LADY STOP THE CAR".WHEN SHE FINALLY DID THEY PUT ME ON A MILK CRATE IN FRONT OF THE DELI. ABOUT 100 KIDS RAN TO GET MY MOM (WE LIVED AT 1475 TAYLOR FIRST FLOOR RIGHT ABOVE HARRY'S CANDY STORE) ALL I CAN REMEMBER AFTER THAT WAS A GIRL FROM MY SISTERS CLASS GIVING ME A SIP OF HER ORANGE DRINK, I THINK HER NAME WAS PAMELA FARISI. FUNNY THE THINGS YOU REMEMBER. ANYWAY THEY TOOK ME IN AN AMBULANCE TO JACOBI , I HAD A BROKEN LEG AND ENDED UP IN A CAST FROM MY ANKLE TO MY GROIN. ANYBODY REMEMBER THAT. BY THE WAY MY NAME IS CHRIS WILLIAMS
