The Swimming pool at 169 & Jerome Ave, also ran to Gerard Ave, The Pool was managed by a English man ,Mattt Cedgewick. His Newphew Who was his assistant Norman Oxley. Originally it was the Jerome Cascades. Later became the Jerome swimming pool. On the Gerard St end of the pool was a Egg store and i remember when shopping there .They let you candle some of the eggs. Across the St. on Jerome ave was a very nice Bar & grill. They made the best pizzas in the Bronx.When I was a lifeguard ,we sent for the Pizzas. It was great. The pool was bought by a man named Jack Strayer. He was a Pilot.Jack Strayer and associates. He had a company making a amphibian plane in Maine.Richy Freidman was the head life guard.When the crowds were big on the weekend ,we would put on a show for the people. There was a tall waterslide . There was a nice man made beach and we would rake and screen it everyday. You had to walk through a shower passageway to get into the pool.
