This area has had many changes and here is a card from 1967 that shows some of them. Note that there have been more changes since this card was discarded like the moving of L56 from E42 to E48 and L59 moving from E85 to E43.

Mac, you guys aren't closer now than 75/33? Definitely got to be closer than 62/32. Just go up Albany Crescent to Perot St, right around the reservoir and up Goulden Ave to Bedford Park Blvd.

If the new Bronx Barb was in effect E-81 would be 3rd due, the system has never adjusted for E75/L33 moving south to new quarters.
For the record we went 4th due the other day to 3545 Perry and 207 and if that happened under new Barb we are on 2nd alarm. These
box issues are always coming up but nothing has ever really been totally updated or changed. Have gotten to point that I just go where I
am sent and not get into box wars, also the new Bronx Barb has been put on hold too many complaints about all the changes.

I see your point. No use arguing about something you can't change.

I don't think 81 was available for this box (3540), but I did see it at 206th St. off of Perry at box 3545 (Perry Ave.& 205th St.)

E-81 was available when 3540 came in I actually told Housewatch to get ready for a run as I thought E-81 was going to go, however we
didnt and a few minutes later went on another box. So be it.
