We drove around to try and get a better shot but traffic was against us. |
 |
While waiting in traffic - a 'Paddy Wagon' was beside us and they were making fun of us tourists... |

I remember coming here with my good friend Ethel Klein in the days of Mickey Mantle & Whitey Ford. |

We were on Jerome Avenue and this looked like a really neat building. Harvey says the building in the background (the big brown one if he remembers correctly) was the 7 Santini Bros. Moving and Storage building. Annette N (nee Krepkin) has this to say, "This is my stomping grounds. I can't believe how good the bus station looks! This is one of the places we stood on line for rations during WWII. The block to the left in the photo used to be two-way and is McCombs Road. Halfway up the hill branched off to Mt. Eden Avenue, which led to Taft H.S. The old building was the House of Calvary. Across the street was the Rivoli Plaza where we were married. If you continue up the hill and turn left you will get to Featherbed Lane and from there to Jesup Avenue and around the corner P.S. 104" |

They led Up from Walton Ave to the Grand Concourse. On the left, as you look at the photo, is the side of the Lewis Morris Apartments. On the right was a play area called The Rockies. An apartment building was built on that great play area in the early 50's. The street the steps landed on was a "T" intersection of Walton Ave. (which ran parallel to the Concourse) and Clifford Place. Clifford Place was a very short street which, if memory serves) ran just 2 block from Townsend Ave. to Walton Ave. and was midway between 175th St. and 174th St. Description courtesy of Art Morgenstern |
