Re: Pelham Parkway, The Bronx
There IS a Bronx Club; I've attended a couple of meetings of it. There seem to be relatively few public school grads there. Maybe the Bronx Club needs an infusion of TOTV folk!!!
ConeyIsBabe: I lived down the street from the Highbridge Housing Project, if I remember right. Isn't that the one on University Avenue close to the Washington Bridge that crossed to 181st Street in Manhattan? I lived on Nelson off Featherbed Lane, went to PS 104, then Macombs JHS, and finally Taft, graduating in '58. Actually moved back to upper Manhattan during my senior year when the family home was demolished for the construction of the Bronx's largest parking lot, otherwise known as the Cross Bronx Expressway.
Floridagal: If I do remember right, the three streets you mentioned run north/south. Starting at White Plains Road going east, it's Cruger, Holland, Wallace, Barnes, Matthews, Bronxwood, and so forth. I lived on Barnes north of Astor and later on Wallace north of Arnow. One of my closest friends, with whom I taught at Evander, was a neighbor around the corner--and he's now a neighbor two houses away from us at TV!
It is indeed a small world!!!
