Archaic, early 20th century reference to Flatiron Building at the intersection of 23rd. Street , Fifth Avenue and Broadway in Manhattan NY.
The north facing corner of the triangular Flatiron Bldg. caused flapper skirts to blow upward as wind gusts were sheared at the north facing corner facade revealing , rather indelicately their undergarments...girls in the know , knew “at Twenty-third Street, hold down your hems and SKIDOO‼️(perhaps this gave rise to the vagrant loitering noted in other entries❓)

28 Skidoo 

The Skidoo part comes from a town. In 1906, two prospectors got lost in rare Death Valley fog while enroot to Harrisburg. They stumbled across gold-bearing ledges. The town of Skidoo formed around this area and in 1906 the Skidoo post office was opened. By 1907 Skidoo had more that 500 residents. By 1917 one mine is reported to have produced 1.5 million in gold. Today no structures remain, only a few fallen buildings and the ruins of the stamp mill as well as a few graves. The "28" part may refer to something significant the town provided for the rest of the world. Soon, It became a nonsense saying popular form 1920 to around the 50s.
"28 Skidoo" (28 Skidoo is usually proclaimed to be silly or funny.)
