What a great blog. Great pictures of Flushing when I grew up there in the 70’s and 80’s. Gloria’s Pizza was the best! I miss the old bagel shop a little further down south on Main Street, across the street from the Toy’s R Us store on Franklin and Main. I grew up on Sanford Ave. and College Point Blvd. Went to PS 120, IS 237 and then Aviation HS. Flushing was a great town to be in at that time!

This has made me so happy. I’m in Washington, DC now but grew up on 75th Ave in Kew Gardens Hills. Went to Parsons late 50’s early 60’s and Jamaica HS. Good memories of a cement pool type area where the water came out of sprays and I used to hang upside down on the monkey bars. The only pizza place I remember is Stella Doro’s. Thank you all for the memories.

My dad was assistant principal at Parsons Junior High until 1971, when he passed away. I visited the school a few times before that. It was a long time ago.

My grandmother lived in Flushing in the Bland Housing project. My family would fly there every summer and I loved it there. Gloria’s Pizza was the BEST pizza I have ever had. I still tell my son and husband about it….My grandmothers windows faced the unisphere from the Worlds Fair and also Shea Stadium. I miss that place, and was so happy when I saw your site.
Thanks,
Sandy
