Does that say Luxury?

Close up of Apartment house

View of the area from the cummunity center, new Luxury apartments on right where the Phipps used to be, playground to the left.

Getting ready for the big day

Juliette Hinton and son, Siaka Hinton

They had a lot of games with trophies and food for the kids over there.

Looking in from 64th Street

Horse ride passing by 216.

That's a happy little boy!

You really need sound to appreciate this picture. the music was blasting from the boom box and this fellow was dancing his way down the street.

The Donaghy's lived right above those canisters.

That's unexpected, had to get someone to let me in.

This is inside 80 Amsterdam. They used to be on the left by Ray's apartment

Each elevator goes to odd or even floors only

This used to be the incinerators

7th floor is marked. Bonnie tells me she lived to the right on that floor.

Mrs. Brown you have a lovely daughter... Jackie, wasn't that a song?

Get a close look, do you remember Charlie?

Jackie writes, "from left to right: yours truly, my best
friend, Julia Coaxum, Harold, Yvonne Coaxum (now known as Nut Bennett)"

Lots of kids lined up to get a tattoo.

Say hello to Mickey, Mario!

Is she cute or what?

What a sweet lady.

That's it! I'm taking her home with me!!

Signing Autographs, what a guy.

Mike the Ice Cream man had his cart here.

On the far side is a flag pole where movies were shown.

This is the sleigh riding hill over between 61-62nd Street.

They are down this hill also.

This is for Rita.

The flag pole is just to the right and behind me.

Those canisters are very bothersome to those of us who congregated there 35 years ago.

Remember the picture of Pat and Little Louis? (in Aida's Gallery) that's what it looks like today.

One place to park if you visit the projects.

this is by the water around 69-70th Street

It curves to the right and Riverside Park is right there. That's where I took picture called Hudson River. Look in the "In Box" or Julio's Gallery

This was not there in the 60's, but what a lovely place to walk through. Many people on bikes, walking, skating. Don't miss it if you go to the projects.

This is the view from the pier.

I see Carmen Acosta in center, top. Who else can you name here, leave messages below please.

I see Merrele Early on top right with Brother Rodney to the left of her. John Woods is next to Rodney and Manny Bialek is next to Merrele
