Hempstead Lake State Park on the Island is a good place, Also Fulton school on Fulton Avenue baseball field, Circus was across street from West End Tavern near train stop, I am far away from West Hempstead L.I. I lost old dimes there {silver}. good luck! I found musket ball at St. Pauls Rd.So. from rain fall, On Halloween neighbors threw pennies in front of homes instead of candy! DDonuts is probably still on corner, I saw it built in 1957. The White Castile nearby sold great burgers for 12 cents. Also Kennedy Park. Bread was 5 cents a loaf with S&H green stamps at A&P.
