And the most unusual and surrealistic place in New York City is Central Park.
I grew up on Avenue C, and Tompkins Square Park was my park. That was where I played ball every day. I lived in that park.
Brooklyn, when I was growing up, was awesome. It was stoopball and stickball - a lot of kids... the baby boom generation were all in the area. It was just a really great place.
My neighborhood, Coconut Grove, we always played in the streets. It was corner against corner. We all had football teams. Different neighborhoods.
Growing up as a city kid is a joyous time!
I've always thought of L.A. as the modern version of 'The Garden of Earthly Delights.'
I was a stoopball fan. I played stoopball all the time.
I grew up playing in the streets. We played two-hand touch from street pole to street pole. That's how I learned the game.
