SPALDEEN DREAMS: The House I Lived In
http://spaldeendreams.blogspot.com/2011/07/house-i-lived-in.html
Monday, October 20, 2014. The House I Lived In. My memories of this house are warm and vivid. Safe in the confines of its walls with my mother, father and sister, and surrounded by aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and friends, I cannot imagine a happier childhood. I am still tied by my heartstrings to that house, that time and that place. I will be forever grateful for having the good luck to be raised there. LOOKING FOR A WORTHY CHARITY?

SPALDEEN DREAMS: The Stoop
http://spaldeendreams.blogspot.com/2008/10/stoop.html
Monday, April 28, 2014. The idea of a neighborhood has changed much from when I was a kid in Brooklyn. While it still refers to a geographical place, at also used to mean a community where people knew and looked out for each other. And the stoop was the vantage point from where we looked on the world, but knew our hearts would always belong to that special place where we grew up.

SPALDEEN DREAMS: April 2015
http://spaldeendreams.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 25, 2015. Stoop, The Sequel. Last September I wrote a brief post called: "The Stoop". The stoop was a place where people from the neighborhood congregated to socialize. Most houses on my old block had stoops, but some were better than others. My friend Tommy Dowd's stoop on the corner of Somers Street and Rockaway Avenue was. Primo, and that's where we hung out. If I could tack on the time we spent on those steps to the end of my life, I would edge out Methuselah! I'll pay you Sunday....

SPALDEEN DREAMS: Do Your Legs Work At All?
http://spaldeendreams.blogspot.com/2013/08/do-your-legs-work-at-all.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Do Your Legs Work At All? One of the benefits of walking the neighborhood was that you got to know people. I could start on Rockaway Avenue and walk down Somers Street and tell you who lived in every house all the way down to Stone Avenue. People would greet you as you walked by.How's your mother; don't let me see you again with a cigarette in that mouth; can you go to Louie's and get me a Daily Mirror?

SPALDEEN DREAMS: February 2015
http://spaldeendreams.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. With Palm Sunday and Easter around the corner, I’m reminded of things about these holidays that connect me to my childhood. In my old neighborhood, Palm Sunday was kind of the warm-up act for Easter. In church they handed out palm to commemorate Jesus’ ride into Jerusalem and how the people there lay down small. Hanging somewhere until Labor Day. Funny how the memory works. Short-term memory (did I put on underwear this morning? Tends to weaken, but long-term memory somehow rem...
