This photo was taken in 1950 or 1951 of me (I was around 2 or 3)
across the street from the Metro Theater. The Metro was located
on Webster Avenue between Ford and 183rd Streets. The marquee
reads Richard Widmark in "Night and the City" and "Love That
Brute". It also shows a linoleum/bedding store that was located
on the corner of Ford Street and Webster Avenue.
--Carolyn Vetter Cosentino
Editor's Note: "Night and the City," a film-noir classic, and "Love That Brute," a Grade-B comedy, were both released in the spring of 1950, so it's most likely that this picture was taken in that year.

This Model-T Fire Truck was purchased from the Rockefeller
Estate for the Edgewater Park (Throgs Neck) Volunteer Fire
Department. The man is my father, W. J. Taylor, Sr., fire chief
for over 20 years. This picture was taken in the late thirties.

This picture was taken in the late 1960s from my porch at 1357
Purdy Street when I was a kid. The scene is looking northeast
toward the intersection with Starling Avenue. I vivdly remember
enjoying those mountains of snow left over from the plows and
other shovellers.

Joyce Kilmer Park at the corner of 161st Street and Walton
Avenue, around 1957. In the distance one can see the structure
of the Woodlawn-Jerome IRT Elevated Line. Closer up is the
entrance to the "D" line Subway. The La Primadora sign
marked a well-trafficked newsstand-cigar store. The liquor store
next to it belonged to a man called Maurice. In later years I
made deliveries for him. Across the street was the Bronx County
Court House. In the photograph, my brother, Joe, and my father,
Patrick Kennedy, are facing Yankee Stadium.
