This was Dominick's Restaurant on Westchester Avenue near Zerega
Avenue, a landmark for many years. It was torn down a few years
back and replaced by a Social Security building.

This was taken at White Plains Road and Wood Road. The building
in the background is 1366 White Plains Road, and the two stores
were Dave's Candy Store, and Albert's Barber Shop. The photo was
probably taken in 1956 or 1957, before the NY Giants moved to
San Francisco. I'm probably pretending to give my best "Willie
Mays" batting stance, dressed up ready for another baseball
season, rooting for my favorite team, the NY Giants.

This is a picture of my Grandfather's service station. It was
located on Castle Hill Avenue and Parker Street. The man with
his hands on his hips is my Grandfather, and the boy directly in
front of him is my father. This picture was taken during the 1930s.

This picture was taken in front of 1662 Parker Street during the
late 1930s, looking out across Castle Hill Avenue with
Parkchester in the background. Where those houses are on Castle
Hill Avenue is now the school yard for Public School 127.

This picture was taken on Easter Sunday, April 1956. It was in
the oval in the center of Parkchester. You can see the buildings
in the background and the residents enjoying the sunny day. My
brother Larry is on the left, my sister Florence in the middle
and I'm on the right, showing off our new Easter wear.
