Hello, friends. I am planning to post something here very soon. I’ve been busy with other things and we just had a three-day holiday weekend so I wasn’t on the computer very much. But, for those who care, there will be something in the next few days. In the meantime, here are some more pictures of Chester, named after Parkchester, the housing development and neighborhood near where I grew up in the Bronx.
See you real soon.

Yes, but that isn’t a growth, it’s an implant.

You live in such a beautiful place. Why would you want to even remember Parkchester? Those buildings were so ugly and sterile looking. They had no character. I’m surprised the inhabitants didn’t hail one another as comrade. If you were feeling nostalgic, why not name him “bialy” or Van Cortland, or even…dare I say it…..cannoli.
