I have so many fond memories of Maplewood, I thought it was just straight out of a movie. Coming from Australia our change of seasons are nowhere near as a drastic change. I remember running through the hundreds of leaves in Fall and making snow angels in the park in winter at midnight, Maplewood is such a beautiful town and I often think and remember those 6 months with a smile. I've lost contact with the family I nannyed for and wonder if anyone knows whether triplet boys, aged 6 still live on Maplewood Ave????? Linda Kennedy - June 16th, 2006 at 02:17am 4th of July When I was a child we would walk to the park to see the fireworks. We would stay at the park all day. You could hear those fireworks all over Maplewood. What great memories!!

Susan Lorig - February 13th, 2006 at 06:33pm Northeastern It's cool to get online and see the webcam and get to see the village in snow.Especially when I live in the drought laiden southwest. As kids I remember standing in the front of Jefferson school along Ridgewood road and pounding cars with snowballs. I am sorry to hear of Mark Hopkins passing,I always considered the Hopkins to be friends when I was growing up.My condolences to the family. Hey kids,of allages, throw a snowball or two today.Have fun! Neil Meharg - February 12th, 2006 at 01:25pm Anthony Hopkins... I used to play with him, his older brother Mark (recently deceased), younger bros Tom and Tim. The oldest, Raymond was a real @#$&%. On the dead-end side of Beach Pl were families including the Thackers (Beth Ann) and Cudworth (Collin). Across the path on Brook Lane was a nursery school operated by Mrs. Cox. Later the Richardella's (Ricky from the Fuzz band) lived there. ROBERT DAKELMAN - February 8th, 2006 at 07:50pm Jefferson bridge Theres a real nice picture of the Jefferson bridge in the picture section of this site, for all those who have moved away. My friends and I used to play tackle football everyday after school at Jefferson. no coaches, no trophy's, just cause we loved to play. That changed as we got to Columbia. Anyone remember trying to tacle Anthony Hopkins solo, it was painful ! Neil meharg - February 8th, 2006 at 01:31pm Beach Place Lived on the dead-end Beach Place (#23) Used to cut through the neighbor's yard and go over the bridge to Jefferson. But that was in the 50's.

It caught my eye because we were born in the same town, grew up in the same town and both attended Columbia. We also lived in the same town at present, though I did not know him. Just an FYI to his old classmates out there. Gerrie Crawford Collis - January 5th, 2006 at 11:50pm wow doesnt anyone visit here anymore sue - January 4th, 2006 at 03:35pm |
