Sincere condolences on the loss of your dad and hero. I've known the feeling. He will never stop to inspire you and in that sense will live always.

91s Firehouse does seem to be a lot of wasted space. I rode from that house in the late '60s early '70s when they had three companies in quarters, E91, E91-2, , and L43. A three-bay house that was one of the busiest in the city back then. Last time I was there for a plaque dedication there was...

Yes sad Cap. Sign of the times I guess.

Do I remember that your wife went to OLA?

Former....did OLA school close and when? I know Church of the Visitation closed about 10 years ago but did not realize OLA also.

I assume that's E46, not 64?

I thought that was Miami...

I also forgot E97's Walker House, built to include L32. There was really no need for an aerial ladder in Pelham Gardens so L32 moved back in with E62 after just a few years. But 97s house remained numbered for L32 at least through the 1960s.

I believe it was L 57 (or maybe 60) to go in with E72. Never organized. L50 to go in with E42. You could still see the silhouette of the brass numbers above the bay door back in the 1950s. L50 organized 15 years later on Bruckner Boulevard with E89. Ls 27 and 47 built as a completely separate...

West Farms? Not even close. Try Belmont. But I should add thanks for a great video.

Are you sure that wasn't engine 81 rather than 84 that was special called?

I don't know if this issue is topical to this forum but since entropy brought it up... As you can see in this link posted by Lebby, the mission statement of the United States Military Academy has changed little since its inception in 1925, periodically tweaked over the years with minor changes...

Which are you asking "was a good idea", suing the DOD or changing the mission statement?

I believe this is the building that Lieutenant John j Malloy (E48) and his family resided in when he was killed at the 3rd Avenue collapse on April 4th 1956.

You're on a roll, cap.

Great analysis, including suggestions to improve. Good stuff.

Great rundown 73. Thank you. I believe those addresses on Marion Avenue were actually 29xx, etc. The 25xx's are way further south on Marion Avenue. But I nitpick.

Years ago home to Harry's candy store, just like all the ones we knew. Before that Sinegan's ice cream parlor (#2) and before that Allen's Dry Cleaners... Memories of the old block.
