A blast from the past! I worked summer jobs back in the 60's for the Essex County Park Commission, and the Park Police patrolled the parks, mainly Branch Brook Park, with their Servicars. Meanwhile, I was riding around on my 60-125cc two strokes, green with envy...

I remember that black grease they'd cook in-someone told me it hadn't been changed since World War II. I spent a lot of time at Louis & Ting-a-Ling's, too.
Walked home through the park from Barringer to Verona Avenue every day for 2 years during the Newark Bus Strike -with a Saxophone! I was lucky, my best friend was lugging along a bass fiddle!
Were you a "Typical Barringer Graduate"? or an Essex Catholic guy?

I was in the old Barringer as a sophomore in 1964, everything went to **** when they sent all the "demographically distinct" West Side kids there in 1965. I lived on Lake street near Verona Avenue, across the tracks from Belleville.
