Geocache Description:


Paddle Tennis on the streets of Brooklyn

In the late 50's at Brooklyn College, the preferred way of getting spending money, assuming you were sufficiently talented, was hustling Pool, Bowling and Paddle Tennis.

This cache is designed to memorialize those times when Allen Ginsberg read "Howl" in the Brooklyn College gym, Chianti in a goat skin bota was "hip" and Bobby Darin ruled the airwaves.
