Down The Hills

[Lenny]

Winter was always fun for us city kids. Especially on a snowy day riding one of these down the hills of the Bronx. I always rode mine down 178th st from Bathgate to Park Avenues.

I remember there used to be a curvy hill from Valentine Avenue to Webster Avenue. I think they called it Snake Hill. That was quite a ride on a sled.

We had one of those hills in Parkchester. It was called suicide-hill. Lots of fun!

did the same down 179th --- we used to throw snow on washington ave to be able to make it across the street -- wouldnt start the run from bathgate til one of the guys on washington signalled the all clear that there were no cars coming ---- then you had to deal with the concrete pillars at the bottom of the hill on park ave
