Years ago, Welfare Island, now Roosevelt Island, was covered in its entirety by Manhattan box 920 with many class 3 terminals for the hospitals, etc.

That place is a constant annoyance. No other gentile way of stating it.

P.D. Captain was transferred from a Brooklyn Precinct to the North Bronx PSAC (Communications) for allegedly saying something construed as unfavorable about the current Mayor while at this street debacle. The City has gone down, down, down and down!

295 and 297 both relocated. Long run for 273 and 274 to College Point and Whitestone. 320 as well.

Can you just hear that phone call from the driver of the truck..."Listen boss, you're not going to believe this but.....................

That's an elected official? A fine upstanding image he presents. As Kasey Kasem once said, "Ponderous Man, Ponderous."

Some chauffeurs hated the Buckeye as its use at times could stall the engine. I was told this years ago by an "old timer."

Good find, thank you!

The Phil Spector "Wall Of Sound."

The Probie from E28 showing badge 488, that badge during the late 50's thru early 70's was assigned to the late J.S. of E297. Just thought I'd mention it. Good Luck Sir.

I see a few transfers coming down the pike.

Yes, it was "Speeds" Flushing Airport. There was small water on the property but nothing of usable size. That whole area back in the 50's and 60' was marsh land and land fill. Numerous brush fires and deep-seated rubbish fires. During the 1964 Worlds Fair the Goodyear Blimp was moored at speeds...

99?

Just follow the smoke with a broom and Indian pump.

In a bygone era that is a first due box for 296 and third due for 272.
