The year 1969 in the Rockawaysâ&#x20AC;Ś By Emil R. Lucev, Sr. & daughter, Katie Lucev
It was the 50th anniversary of the NC-4 Flight across the Atlantic in 1919, the 70th Anniversary of the Broad Channel Volunteer Fire Department and plans for a Rockaway Museum were being discussed. The construction of Bay Towers Hi-Rise was approved. There was talk of a U.S. Park on the west end. Bids were in for Beach Channel High School construction while beach erosion was very bad at Bch. 95th Street. The Peninsula Library was soon to be a reality. Cub Scout Pack #47 was formed at St. Rose Church. Phoenix House for drug addicts opened in
Far Rockaway. Frank Sinatra was making a movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Detectiveâ&#x20AC;? in Arverne. Children playing with matches burned the old Curleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hotel to the ground on Bch. 116th Street. The population of the Rockawayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was given at 89, 005. A subway extension to the Point was not wanted. More Hi-Rise buildings were coming. Men landed on the moon the same time Playland Amusement Park was celebrating its 40th Anniversary. For the season the newly built â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matterhornâ&#x20AC;? ride was the super star attraction with an Olympic theme accompanied by loud music possibly, one â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gâ&#x20AC;?. One ride was $.75 cents.
