My name is Andy Bennett. I lived on B. 141ST until I was 13. I’m now 63. Does anyone remember Bernstein’s candy store, Glortons toy store, “I fix it” shop on 145TH? Any Pictures?

I search on internet and found your website. It's look good. I like it.

Hi All,
Spent manny years living in Neposit.
Drank many beers on the beach and almost every bar from the Newport Inn, Connely's, Sullivans, "The Magnet" on 129th to Fitzgeralds.
What great memories.
Much of my family and friends still live in Neposit, Belle Harbor etc.

After spending many summers in Belle Harbor my family bought a house on the beach block of 145 St in 1968. We lived there for about a decade and I spent my teen years there. What an amazing place to live... our family all miss that wonderful house and our Neponsit friends.

Your community sounds like a most wonderful place to live and raise a family. The NYT article paints a real nice picture.

Every summer from 1943 to 1955 we lived with my grandparents Jacob and Frances Zlotoff at 303 B148th St at the corner of Neponsit Avenue. What a paradise! My brother Lawrence and I pitied anyone who had to go to summer camp. I remember one of my chores was to walk to the little grocery store on 146th St. to get my grandfather a pumpernickel bread and then pick up a newspaper.

I grew up in Neponsit from birth to age 18. My folks built two houses, the first on 143rd St and the Boulevard, and the second on 142nd St and the Boulevard. It's still there, it has a big bay window, on the beach side of the Boulevard. My mother always had the doors of her houses painted pink. She claimed to be the only one in Neponsit who did so. My family name is Greenberger. Maccabee is a professional name I have used for years. I am a novelist, screenwriter and currently game designer. For all of you lucky enough to live there, it is a lovely place, a great place to have been a kid.

Welcome to our new Guest Book. We look forward to hearing from you.
