just before wwii we moved to another neighborhood way-way across the bronx, near bronx park (and its famous zoo). it was four el stops from the intervale station (simpson, freeman, 174th, and 177th). my dad was probably making $50 big bucks a week at this time and my mom wanted an upscale place to live. i don't know.
FOUNTAIN IN THE ZOO - REMEMBER? - NO YOU DON'T. |
i have no idea why there was an exodus from the south bronx to this area but the klovers from rogers place were on vyse around the corner, the olsmans had moved to mohegan avenue and my grandparents at some time moved to vyse and 180th st.
