Class of STS59 Website:
>> Check out the website created by Carol Reichenstein of the class of 1959. You'll probably see somebody on there you know. In the video (on the "Photos" page), you'll see Maureen Ruddy walk past the camera at the 3:00 minute mark. Then, at 3:17, you'll see Fred Angelini walking by. I'm sure there are lots of other people from STS60 in that video.

vpike = (Street View)
This site is similar to Google Maps but is more user friendly. Try putting in your old Woodside or Sunnyside address. Use your mouse to pull the "street view" scene around. Use the arrowheads on the white or yellow line to "walk" up or down that street. You'll also see a little yellow man on the grid map (right panel). You can pull him around to the street you want to visit. Use him when you want to skip a number of blocks at once. Also, you'll see a little icon (looks like a hybrid between a cross and an X), at the upper right hand corner of your street scene (left panel), when you first enter it. Click on that Cross-X to see the image full screen. After doing that, you'll get a totally full screen view of the photo. Unlike Google Maps, the screen won't be cluttered up with panels and toolbars. Here's the link:

This site is primarily for viewing urban and inner suburban streets across the USA. If you want to find your house and you live in a rural area, use Google Maps. Vpike is strictly for urban / inner suburban street view.

Street Games of New York
A neat two-and-half minute YouTube video about the various street games that kids used to play in the streets of New York. You'll definitely recognize most of them. Besides stickball, they show some good footage of a bunch of kids playing "Johnny Ride The Pony" in this video, etc.
Once the homepage opens up, scroll down a little and click on the arrow in the youtube box. You'll see a little icon that looks like 4 arrows pointing away from each other in a little box, down near the lower right-hand corner of the youtube viewing box. Click on that icon to view the video in Full Screen mode.
