TIFFANY STREET, BRONX, NY (PART V): LIFE BEFORE DEATH IN NEW JERSEY


(continued)

somehow i published part vi before this one part v.  time warps exist.

my grandparents, after their living on kelly street lived on tiffany street probably for about four years.  there was a lot of moving around in my family for known and unknown (to me) reasons.  

i recall being a kid:

reading my first book from the large public library (two streets away), about the development of metallurgy;

sitting under the radio listening to such great programs as, Speed Gibson Of The International Secret Police;


being given a copy of, the arabian nights, which i didn't understand, by two sisters boarding with my grandparents;

being taken to a stock broker's office by my grandfather while he was baby sitting me (note: today there are
no stock broker's firms physically located in the bronx);

listening to my two young aunts and my mom discussing man catching strategies while depilating;

going to the tiffany movie theater to watch two or three movies at a sitting, receiving a comic book, and candy - all for 11 cents; 

listening to 78 rpm records on their windup phonograph.


i'll quit now as i see i've put you to sleep....  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
