What will.....

cityboy do today? How much money will he spend? Here I sit in the Bronx public library, working on the computer--but that will soon end, and then where......to South Fourth, or to other parts of Brooklyn? To Riverdale to make a bet? A ride in a bus into the "South Bronx" before I get back to Manhattan? Arrived at 207 street on the 1 train today, then walked into the Bronx, over the 207 street bridge, again got the nostalgia kick by looking at the buildings, actually a lot of advertising going on for buildings west of Jerome Avenue, bordering on Fordham Road. Anything else? Interesting article in the Times about some houses on Sheridan Avenue, an area where I visited a friend from camp in June of 1955. Still remember playing stick ball in the school yard that was accross the street from his house---ofcourse the neighborhood was all Jewish then, no sign of what was to follow, then home to find out that Gil MacDougald of the Yankees had almost blinded Herb Score. Anyway, memories continue........the rest of the day?..........
