Great pictures. The guy carrying the couch has a nice cross around his neck.

I missed that blackout by 2 weeks. I returned from my military tour in Spain at the end of July 77

We were vacationing out in Fire Island and had the radio on...we heard all about the black out and felt like we were missing out! A week later we returned and saw how terrible Fordham Rd looked. We had heard that the looting was terrible. |

I was living in Long Beach California. Helen delivered her daughter, Jeanne, by fireman's flashlight the night of the blackout. The hospital had no power and apparently, no emergency generator. Believe it was Mt Eden Hospital where she delivered her first three children, including Jeanne.

So glad you caught that Sis. But I'll bet Jeanne would take the change of birth year from '65 to '77. LOL, LOL.

I was bowling that night and I had just gotten a strike when the lights went out. Now you have to realize that I didn't get many strikes, so I figured I caused the whole thing. (Didn't get my ball back till the next week).
The next afternoon we had a block party. We all brought our barbecues to the street and cooked whatever had started to defrost. Lots of burgers and hot dogs.

I got stuck in the middle of all the looting on the Concourse in the 180's, as I was trying to get back home. I'll never forget that sound of crashing glass. The city changed, afterwards, stores all over put up riot gates, and ever since then, stores are an opaque sheet of metal at night time.
And to top it off, I was born in Mount Eden Hospital, too, but the electricity stayed on. (now the site of a parking lot for a greatly expanded Lebanon Hospital).
