Looking good both of you. The building looks pretty nice also.
I know you must have had a great visit to the Bronx even though it is different from what you remembered.

:)Thanks Mike for posting the picture. At least people who don't know Parkchester can get a look at the brick building I was brought up in for 36 years.
We did have a great time, but sorry to say it has changed so.................much and not for the better.

:)Carol...................it is nice to get together with old friends. We had lunch together and then did the tour of Parkchester reminiscing about years ago. I guess you're talking about Loew's American Theatre.

My mother's aunt lived in Parkchester for many years, even after she was mugged. God love her, she is in heaven now.

:)Mike.............thanks for the second photo of the East Quadrant Playground behind the building. I played there as a child and so did my children play in that playground until we moved in 1979. They were 8 and 10.

Mike as you know I been to The Bronx many times this past baseball season. In my opinion the area is no bargin. Also been to the Clay ave area where you lived. It ain't the same by a long shot. If you come to visit you'll be disappointed

Barry and Joan, I know you're both right....seeing is believing! The day that Lou was on Clay Ave taking pictures, it was quiet and everything looks clean, but come nightfall...well... the Police Blotter tells no lies! |
