This is a wonderful site. Thank you for posting! Does anyone remember Epstein's Pharmacy? I believe it was on the Grand Concourse. Closed in the mid-forties. Thank you. J

"Ditto" to the comment by Marian S. I grew up on Eastburn Ave. between .174th and 175th St. We moved away in 1953, before the XBronx Expwy destroyed our neighborhood. I remember with great fondness my childhood in this neighborhood, which was more like a village. I am sure I knew Marian's grandparents, they might have owned Goldie's candy store on the corner.

My grandparents' candy store was on the north side of 174th Street, about four blocks east of the Concourse. I remember the block and the neighborhood well, before the terrible destruction of the XBronx. It destroyed the lives of those two elderly people, as well as many others. I still curse the name of Robert Moses, "he should grow like an onion with his head in the ground."

Below the trees is the tunnel where the Cross Bronx traffic move under the Grand Concourse. Prior to building this highway, this area was an open, empty lot with rocks leading to the Grand Concourse.
