A Great Danza’s Documentry
Remember Danza’s?
After featuring one of Joseph Mikos pictures he invited me to check out his Danza’s documentry that he filmed and edited.
Its a great documentary about about friends, skating and BMX’ing all focusing at what was Danza’s.
He covers the destruction of the building, which may be the only video of the destruction. The destruction is about 20 minutes in.

Memories….Fun Time USA and the WWF/WWE
I found this old clip on YouTube. It was a wrestling match for the WWF held at Fun Time USA on Knapp street many years ago.

1934 Gerritsen Beach June Walk Parade
Look what we were able to get our hands on. This is a really old tape and we cant identify any part of the neighborhood. Maybe you can help?

Just in case, a GerritsenMemories Mirror
We were thinking today about GerritsenMemories.com which is a stretch because we usually don’t think about anything but our moonshine and better ways to make it.
We were thinking “What If” GerritsenMemories were to disappear. Thats a big what if! We decided that the risk of losing the content was high due to the unknown status of the site.
We mirrored the WHOLE site here:
Gerritsen Memories Mirror
The mirror doesn’t have the Message Board entries. However we have magic that was able to download every entry on the Message Board but its not currently accessible . It would have to be rebuilt for that to be viewable.
Hopefully Memories doesn’t go down.

Forgetful memories
Click to Enlarge
www.gerritsenbeachmemories.com is a site dedicated to the memories of gerritsen beach. At the beginning of the summer of 2006 it declared that it was “taking a break”.
- What kind of site shuns its user base away?
- What kind of site doesnt allow its own users to create a buzz about its site?
- If it was a question of moderation. Why not let its users moderate themselves?
- The only reason to take a break would be to upgrade the site. I dont see that happening. Their board is 7 years old.
In the short time gerritsenbeach.net has been live.
- There are a dozen email subscriptions.
- Dozens of unique hits a day.
- We have climbed to #12 in google
- We are also climbing in MSN and Yahoo
