Broadway and Kosciusko St. That was my buff hang out during the Busy Bushwick Years around 1975-1977. There was a McDonalds at that corner in those days where we hung out, but somebody told me it closed down.

The rumor was that in the olden days an NYPD cop found a dead horse on Kosciusko Street.  In writing his report, after several attempts to spell Kosciusko, the cop dragged the horse around the corner to Lewis Avenue.  ;D ;D : :

  Great Story there John. I just hope the people that live on that street can spell it. When I used to hang out there, I gotta tell you, "I sure had my doudts".

john, you werent a cop back then? were you?

  I see a 1st alarm of E222, E277, and E218, then E217 as the extra engine on the 10-75. E217 is normally 2nd due on this box, were they out or were they "typo" switched with E277? ???

Thanks as always for your concern, George.
