DONATIONS ARE MOST APPRECIATED! GRAZIE MILLE!
Hello! I created this ancestral urban history blog, way back in 2008. At one point or another, I thought about adding a donation button, but felt indifferent about asking for money from my readership. At this point in time, after over 14 years of keeping the memories alive and ticking, I decided to ask for donations! :-) I intend to upgrade this site, by adding more storage space, in order to upload audio, video, more photos, etc. I'd also like to do a podcast, and to finally scan all of the ephemera/memorabilia/vintage photos, that I have been collecting for over 15 years! I look forward to the journey! Thanks so much for your donation! I really appreciate it! Best regards, Angela :-)

I went swimming every summer morning at 10 0 clock As a child this was a country club. Growing up in the city in summer, this was as good as it got . Let’s not fotget the free milk on 115 st. They had away of making life feel good with so little much this generation has out of. Dolores Janevero

Right in front of the Jefferson pool was a large fountain with running water. It was not for people but for horses. I went to Jefferson pool daily and yes for the free milk on the corner of 114 st and first ave. I lived across the street from Mt Carmel Church. Yes I went to Mt Carmel grammar school. My friends father made the statues in Mt Carmen Church and he lived on Pleasant Ave. I remember the area very well. I remember buying a sweet potato off a cart for 1 penny each and they were ready to eat.
Great memories
