Those old helicopter and planes are amazing! As far as baked goods go, I can’t take a picture without buying some so that is a slippery slope

The tones and colors of your photos are beautiful. Also, the photos of those monoplanes and gliders are wild!

This was great, thanks for this. I spent a lot of time in Morris Park as a teenager, very interesting to learn this history.

Oh cool! Have you been back lately? Were you aware of the MPC back then?

It was before my time (born in the 80s) but I have seen Style Wars. I still spend a lot of time in Bronx, my dad’s from Wakefield, but the friends I used to hang with in MP are either not their anymore or else I’m not in touch with them anymore so it’s been a good long time since I spent any time around there. But their rehearsal space was just outside the neighborhood maybe park Chester or Pelham and I have a lot of crazy memories from the White Castle on Tremont. Got my lip pierced in MP in 2002, Bronx Underground concerts, long rides on the 5 train...

Seven months in the hospital for a broken ankle. I guess ankle medicine was pretty bad back in 1908.

The ParkeHarrison pictures are great. They remind me of some of Ethan Murrow's drawings.
