We had a shoe repair shop on the main street of our City. When I walked the beat I would stop in and chat with the owner. I loved the smell of the shop from the leather, dyes, glue, etc.People used to wait for their shoes to be repaired.

Oh yeah! Used to buy slabs of it on the avenue. And don't forget their Jelly Rings.
Halvah is available for delivery, but if your out and about, I've gotten it at the local Harris Teeter.

We did it in grammar school too during the cold war, obviously they never told us what it was for except for "tornados"?

The Serpico park scene with Pacino meeting the detectives to tell them he didn't want any money, was filmed just past the buildings on the left. Many years later of course.
Yankee Stadium is behind the photographer.

The P-51 was a truly incredible Aircraft. This is Ridge Runner, on display at Barksdale AFB, LA. 11 kills to it's credit. Never mind the guy in the fore ground. His fiancé was taking the picture.

My first "house" as a newborn was a Quonset hut like this.
This was my birth home in 1953. Behind it was a quanset hut buried underground which served as a bomb shelter for the surrounding families.
The home still stands and is currently occupied. The bomb shelter has been removed.

Cold day at the range. Better than no day at the range.

That part of Oregon is fantastic, as is the rest of it. Unfortunately, all we hear about these days are the riots in Portland. i wish I had more pictures of my travels around the State.
Edgar Allan Poe lived here in the Bronx for a few years. Poe Cottage.
The Grand Canal, under the Rialto Bridge, Venice.
The Cross Bronx Expressway just north of the George Washington bridge being built in the 60's. Most everything going to New England and back to points south via I95 passes through.
We used to call it the Cross Bronx parking lot
and it still is, three lanes worth. It was antiquated as soon as it was finished.
