Daily WafflesFrom Joe Sbaraglia (The Waffleman)

CHINESE WALL - was the

nickname of the roadway for

trains that traveled from the

30th Street Station and the

Broad Street Station. It was a

mile or more long and elevated

twenty feet above street level.

It had arched tunnels through

which all the major north-south

streets passed. The wall was

torn down in 1953 and the land

it occupied that it is now John

F. Kennedy Boulevard.

CHINK BALL - A game of

throw and catch where one

player threw a pinkie ball to-

ward a wall. The ball had to hit

the pavement first, then the

wall. The other player had to

catch the ball. If the catcher

caught it three times, he be-

came the thrower, the other

player the catcher. The ball

was aimed at the chink which

is where the pavement and the

wall met. If the chink was hit

correctly, the ball took on an

erratic movement which made

it more difficult to catch.

CIGAR BOXES - were eagerly

sought after and used to store

everything; baseball cards,

treasures and marbles.
