Hi,
I`ll never forget them.
My kids tell me Mom,,, Wow Mom belonged to a gang.
My response is they were the greatest to us. They took care of their neighborhood.
Well that goes back to the 50`s. We hung out near Piggies.
My nick name was Betty, my cuz was Jeanie.
Yes now I`m married,, hey 3 more years & it will be "50 yrs married" so yes it was a long time ago.
I enjoyed every minute of that time.
Some of the guys names were Tullio, Cindy,
Morris, Bernie,I cant remember the others.
Just good memories now.
Bev( my real name) Ha

Hi Bev, can you name some of the guys, I think I might know some of them too....

Were the Baldies similar to the gang in the movie The Wanderers?

I never heard of the baldies when I lived in the Bronx. There was a gang called the Fordham Wheelers(?). Someone told me that they had a skinhead guy named "Crazy Carlos", but I don't think they are the same as the Baldies. The Baldies must have left when I was in the Bronx. Maybe they moved to Scarsdale or Connecticut.

No Betty, I don't recognize them, do you remember after the Baldies came the Fordham Daggers? And don't forget the Dagger-ettes...

I did come from the Arthur Ave area and Fordham and was a gang called the Fordham Baldies when I was a kid in the 50's and as far as the Fordham Wheelers , I was a Fordham Wheeler and there was nobody named Crazy Carlos in it and nobody was a skin head , we were all Italian, we were a motorcycle club and that was in the 60's We all road Triumphs and one BSA motorcycles and hung out in a garage on Hoffman St.

Hey Barbraallen, I remember the Fordham Daggers and the Daggerettes ,they hung out across from Kitties Candy store , I don't remember the name of the candy store they hung out in but it was across from P.S. 32

Hi Stumbo, I cannot remember it either, but the owner was such a nice guy, I have to ask one of my girlfriends, because we were fooling around one afternoon, the guys and girls, and she put her arm through the glass door, had to go to Fordham hosp for stitches...remember that hospital? Didn't we all have our tonsils take out there? haha

Fordham was'nt a Hospital,It was a Butcher Shop.I spent nine months there and It was a NIGHTMARE.I could'nt wait to get outta there.They should make a movie about that DUMP.I still remember them horrible green walls.I see that place in my nightmares.You just bought back some really bad memories,WOW just sent chills up the spine.Thank GOD they knocked it down.Today I can laugh about it.GOD BLESS
