Definitely not doo-wop but a great entertainer and song writer passed away on August 20th. Tom T. Hall had many hits on the country charts as well as cross-overs to the pop charts. He was the writer of Jeannie C. Reilly's "Harper Valley PTA." Thanks Tom for the music and the memories. Rest In...

The only place he's running is to some deserted island with his old lady who has that billion or so that she "knows nothing about." Two real upstanding role model pieces of (You pick the word.)

You just can't make this (Insert words of choice) up! Let's reward the mutts nationwide that make living in fear a daily ritual of the decent, law abiding citizens of this once great land. Other Countries must be laughing themselves silly. What a disgrace which grows more each day.

How I cringe every time I see FDNY photos from the '39 Worlds Fair. My dad had a box of photos of the rigs that were there and some of himself, in uniform, on an Ahrens-Fox pumper. When he passed away I asked my mom where are pop's photos? She responded quickly with "I threw that junk out along...

And the Ravenswood Houses right up the road.

Previously I mentioned "making the nights go by quickly", well one night I was working an 0100x0900 on a unit out of Metropolitan Hospital which was Station 15 at the time and now Battalion 10. It was winter, January or February, and it was one of those nights that the temp was at about 5 below...

Nothing will ever outdo the expertise of the dispatch personnel who knew every street within their borough, knew the status of the companies within their borough and had foresight to plan ahead with incoming alarms. No computers, no wizardry, just common sense and great knowledge. Those were the...

Thanks Willie. In retrospect, it made the nights go quicker having all that "fun."

Lebby, from the little that I read in the newspaper that contract is nothing but a "Here's a cookie kid, now go away." The City finally got caught with that 37.5 hour week nonsense which was really forty and we never got paid for. How about the no night diff on overtime? Did they rectify that? I...

Again and still!

Here we go

Thanks Ed, I stand corrected.

I'll say 289, 287, 307, 138, 136 and the 46.

Yes it is. From what I had heard through the channels years ago when 75/33/19's new quarters were built the old place on Jerome Avenue was to be condemned because of it's condition. Oh wait...let EMS use it. They won't know the difference. And so it stands, with some renovation, Station 19.

Thanks 1261, I believe you are correct.

I forget what Manhattan company Paul was in prior to his going to the library. He lived near us and my dad knew him from the Manhattan days.

I'm sure there are members of this site that remember when the Mand Library was located within "Red Square" in Long Island City. Yes, that building that housed the "Fire College" aka the training school and still currently Fleet Services aka the Shops. Way, way back in time.

Or Station 50 which has 53 as well.

That address seems familiar. There's probably been a few multiples at that particular scrap yard.

Our liberal hipster society is partially to blame for this. DON'T let the Police do their job to enforce the laws. DON'T let Judges do their job by incarcerating violent offenders. This society is just so liberal that people can do what they want, when they want and how they want with no fear of...
