:)Mike......................I got home this afternoon. I enjoyed touring around the Bronx and, of course, Parkchester. However, I would never want to go back there. How it has changed! Sad! I like to remember how it was when I was growing up. Even though they have made Parkchester into condos at such a low price, would not want to go back there. Passed by St. Helena's too and can't believe how long it has been since I graduated from there. The Oval looks the same, but the "faces" are different and there is alot of graffiti around. Not what I remember!!! To put it in a "nutshell", not the way it was when I lived there so many years ago. Has changed drastically and not for the better.
Did go to visit a friend in Throggs Neck. She has a house there which is very nice. The neighborhood looked all right, but didn't see too many people there.
