I'm willing to make a bet that the Bronx will come back one day. We're all gone to parts unknown, and our roots are yearning for a reminder of what it was like to be living in a beautiful place. Yet, ALL OF YOU MISS THE POINT. The world is full of people and these people need somewhere to live, and guess what, they're coming to the Bronx. So you have a new tide of immigrants taking over, and they'll work for nothing, and their properties are worth fortunes...but...it could never be like we rememebered it. 1959...that was a great year.
1154 stratford avenue aunt and uncle were supers there until late 60's. loved the neighborhood and the great stores and restaurants "on the avenue" wonderful memories

What years did you go to PS 77 & JHS 123? I ate my first BLT at Y & S - my parents wouldn't take bacon into their kosher home. I remember the bagel bakery on Morrison. Here's a bit of trivia - where was the library before it moved to Morrison?
Hi, I went to same 3 schools and lived at 1255 Stratford ave. did you know a girl by the name Dale Richards. I have lost contact and cant find her. I went to the dentist and boy did he hurt.

went to PS77 - 1950, 1st graduating class of JHS123,graduated James Monroe 1963. Don't remember where Library was before Morrison Ave.Do remember Sporting Goods Store & Candy store on corner of Westchester & Morrison. Do you remember fruit stand on corner of Westchester and Stratford, Ira's grocery & across the street Neumans grocery & barber shop.brother graduated James Monroe 1957 don't remember name of candy store next to fruit store. Ahh, memories
Suuyuu your a few years younger than me. If I hadn't moved I would have graduated Monroe in '60.
The old library was one block east of Morrison and on the other side of Westchester.
I remember the sporting goods store - got a bat & glove there as well as a few baseballs, footballs and basketballs over the years.
Do you remember the pet shop on Morrison owned by a guy named Henry who lived on Stratford? I hung out there - I was really into tropical fish in those days. After we moved into a house I wound-up with four 50 gallon tanks and numerous smaller ones - Our basement was filled with tanks.
Hey suuyuu.....what about applebaum's cleaners.I lived at 1172 stratford my name was Steve do you remember me,or mac the super.The library was behind the bank......Steve
yes,I remember mac the super,also remember the fruit stand across the street,candystore,shoe repair and Iras deli/grocery.also, there was a dentist who had a separate entrance. On our side of street was a barber, neils grocery and cleaners.

MY NAME IS PAUL NARSON. I HUNG OUT AROUND STRATFORD AND WESTCHESTER FROM 1955 TO 1959 WHEN I JOINED THE ARMY. I WAS IN THE FIRST CLASS TO ATTEND JHS 123 WHEN IT OPENED. I SEE A JOSIE LOOKING FOR DALE RICHARDS. I HAAUNG OUT IN FRONT OF HER BUILDING. OTHER GIRLS IN THAT BUILDING WERE THE PINSKY SISTERS, JANET COHEN. IF ANYONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT OLD FRIENDS OR THE NEIGHBORHOOD. E-MAI ME AT. ERAVET24@AOL.COM
I'm sorry to see that this thread is so old, since it looks like there may be many people here I might have known. I went to JHS 123 from 1954 and to Monroe HS from 1957 to '60. I lived in a few places in that neighborhood: Metcalf Avenue, Bronx River Projects, and then on Boynton and Bruckner.
I do remember Jimmy the ice cream man. That's amazing that someone else remembers it. I went to the community center in the Bronx River projects and on Manor near Westchester, then to the "new" Y on Boyton near Westchester.
