Anybody on here from the Pelham Parkway area in The Bronx, New York or graduated from Columbus High School?

Still a wannabe but I lived on Pelham Parkway for a year and worked at Albert Einstein College of Medicine for five years.

As you know it is a very nice section of da Bronx!!!!!

Graduated from Columbus in 1973. Lived in Pelham Bay until my late 20's.

grew up in The Bronx, graduated from Evander, then taught at PS 97 in Pelham Parkway area.

Delivered news papers while working my way through college. Delivered to the candy store just off the corner of White Plains and Pelham Pkwy. I believe that candy store was in a movie called The Pope of
Greenwich Village. The scene involved a cop who was mooching coffee in the candy store and "Paulie" put some horse laxitives in his cup when the cop was not looking.

Before moving from E 167th St. (Ft. Apache Precinct), use to take the train to Pelham Pkway and then wait on line for the Orchard Beach bus. Moved to Gun Hill Rd. (near Montifore Hospital) in 1963 and graduated from Aquinas High on Belmont Ave (Dion & The Bemonts). Went to a bar in Pelham called the Bridle Path (I believe) a couple of times. Loved growing up in the Bronx. Wish I could go back (when I 'm in NJ) and drive through but can't find anyone willing to go. :cry:

Went back to Pelham Parkway about 10 years ago. Brought back alot of good memories. My friends and I always waited for the bus to take us to Orchard Beach and City Island. Great restaurant just over the bridge.

Not myself personally, but my Great Uncle Louie was a barber in the Bronx.
He raised his family in the Bronx......but after World War II, they all spread out to Connecticut and eventually California. His eldest son stayed in Paris France after the war (he married a "war bride" who had been born in Monaco of all places. They raised their 4 children in Paris. One lives in Hawaii now, the others in California. Uncle Louie was my dad's uncle and the "little brother" who at age nine escorted his big sister, my grandmother, on the ship to Ellis Island. Her parents thought she needed a chaperone. She took care of him with the rest of her children, after they were born...........actually, many others in my dad's family lived in The Bronx....and some still do.....Bronx and Brooklyn.

Kingsbridge area of the Bronx is where I lived for much of my youth. When that area started going "downhill" in the later 70's we moved to the Grand Concourse near Bedford Park. Only lived there for about a year when there was a huge apartment house fire. Haven't lived in the Bronx since, but I'm still only minutes away. I think half of Yonkers is made up of former Bronx people. Some call it Bronkers :)
