We had a schoolyard across the street at PS46 too Mike...
Sprained my ankle in there, fell in glass (not fun), saw a kid fall off the short roof and land on his face as he went to get a roofed spaldeen (he really got messed up -- Sean definitely remembers this kid "Smiley" -- ironically he was called that before he fell of the roof and lost his teeth...)
The school yard was fun, but a dangerous place LOL!!!

Barry- My mother graduated ps 70 in 1931 or 1932, and my husband twenty years later. Amazingly they had many of the same teachers! Where did you live when you went to 70?

On the corner of 172nd and Morris ave. Left there in 1950. If I stayed would have graduated in 1953.

My husband, also Barry, grew up at 1711 Moris Avenue, near 174th. His building had Rossoff's drug store built into the corner of it and there was an Ex-lax sign on the Morris Avenue side. I always called it The Ex-Lax building.

I don't remember the exact address but my aunt lived 17 something on the southwest corner of 174th and Morris. Could have been 1711?  ?? |

As far as he remembers, there was no one at 1711 by that name. Didn her building have a Daitch Dairy store around the corner?

I honestly don't remember but it did have stores on the 174th street side going toward Selwyn ave. It was a big building with an elevator on each side. I'm thinking it was the same building.

Yes, 1711 had elevators on each side. I will ask my sister-in-law about your aunt.
