Description: Marilyn Reichstein describes growing up in Flushing in the 1950's as a time when children had more independence than today. A young person's social life revolved around the local neighborhood, school, synagogue or church. They played in the streets, something she never sees children do today. During her high school years she would go to Manhattan with friends to see Broadway shows. Children learned at an early age to ride subways and buses to downtown Flushing and into Manhattan. She remembers meeting friends at Roosevelt Ave on the corner of Main Street under a big clock that is still there today.
