I remember going to Raynor's in the late '50s and early '60s as a young kid. We would have family get together picnics inside where there were picnic tables and a bar set up for refreshments,then go change into bathing suits in the dark changing cabana type rooms outside.There were the big slides and a floating dive platform about seventy or so feet from shore.The old wood of Raynor's had a very distinctive pleasing aroma inside that is something that just sticks in my mind as I remember the good times we had there.

Several teenagers died in Edgewood Hospital after it was closed....Teenagers would hang out and drink in the building, and start fooling around and a few fell down the elevator shaft where they died. NYS received a lot of complaints by the local community to tear the building down, which they eventually did....www.youtube.com/@surfer19541

I used 2 live on motor parkway in early 70's. Used 2 go 2 the lake all the time. There used 2 b a German restaurant on the lake. A friend drowned in the lake. So that's really sad 4 me.

Sorry you had to lose a friend to the lake, too many individuals spent there last minutes in that small but seemingly treacherous body of water. The German restaurant was aptly named the "Bavarian Inn" and I remember eating there myself. The remnants of the building were torn down about twenty years ago.

Now the sanitariums are closed and the former residents are living on the street. When you see a disheveled person wandering around pushing a supermarket cart with all their belongings these were the kind of people who used to live in these hospitals. Tell me what is worse: The conditions they had in these hospitals or living on the street?

you can Try and explain away the drownings by talking about the depth of the lake, but it only hits that depth in a handful of spots WAY out where most people don't go. ALSO, the depth does Not account for the lop sided statistics in terms men and women drownings----157 male to 3 women

Our presenter here is confused with his vocabulary, and he says things that don't make sense. He refers to the residents (patients) at Kings Park Hospital as criminals, but in the next breath he mentions they are here not by having committed any crime. Well, the definition of a criminal is one who has broken the law and this is guilty of a crime. He means well, however. I can tell that much. He just refers to these human beings wrongly.

Interestingly, I later also learned that Illinois' politicians were instrumental in blocking, over many decades, repeated efforts to build a multi-national St; Lawrence waterway (around the prohibitive St; Lawrence River rapids between New York and Canada) which would have greatly benefited all the other Great Lake states in providing an alternative route to the Atlantic and avoiding the expenses and bottlenecks of the Chicago canal system. There was a big push by the state of New York to make the St. Lawrence waterway a New Deal project in the mid-1930s, but the Congressional delegation of Illinois was able to rally nearly all the Mississippi River states to block the project. The St Lawrence waterway finally became a reality during the Eisenhower Administration.

@@that1930sguy I first heard about the importance of Chicago's waterways and railways in my Canadian history class. It's importance to agricultural trade for Canada. It's really cool to see you modern day on the infrastructure though. I wish I could go metal detecting or magnet fishing around the old canals and see what shows up.

Looking back on my research for that video, it appears that most of my sources came from local newspapers through the archives at newspapers.com, in particular the Chicago Tribune. In addition, I gained a significant amount of information from Recent Social Trends in the United States: Report of the President’s Research Committee on Social Trends, (New York, New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company Inc., 1933), which was the published reports of a major Hoover Administration endeavor to study all the social aspects of American society at the time. The sections of the study on Education by Charles H. Judd, Taxation and Public Finance by Clarence Heer, and Public Administration by Leonard D. White, was where I obtained at least some information. I hope this helps you in some way, and good luck on your paper.

So sorry to see the field and buildings in such disrepair. I used to fly C-119's out of here with the NYANG in the 60's. The Navy flew FJ Fury aircraft from the other side of the field. The old Ambrose lightship moored out in Jamaica Bay had an NDB that served as the final fix for the instrument approach. I currently fly out of Floyd Bennett Memorial field in the Adirondacks.

Psychiatry is all but extinct, replaced by Social Workers. All Psychiatrists do is write prescriptions. Psychologists are still prevalent but cannot write prescriptions. The large hospitals closed down due to the warehousing of patients and subsequent lawsuits and state investigations of patient abuse and neglect. New ones are more supervised and much smaller.
