Hi, lavender! Thanks so much. And we had Poe Cottage! Very literary borough! We just might have all been shopping at one time or another in Alexanders or sitting next to each other during THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, THE FIVE PENNIES or THE HAUNTING. (that is, depending on your ages, lol) I grew up in the West Bronx on Aqueduct Avenue. We had a lovely park across the street. So many good memories. -
