For displaced, misplaced, and nostalgic ex-Bronxites

The U.S. Selective Service office (AKA "the draft board") - sometimes dreaded and sometimes happily anticipated by various 18-year-olds - was located in The Bergen Building at the corner of East Tremont Avenue and Arthur Avenue. That building, by the way, is still standing but is NOT the one in the current mystery photo. Reference ID: BX93050 Responses: Re: Mystery Photo 222 South Bronx Kid 08/08/2025 (0)
