This picture was taken at the lower end of Dyckman Street in 1958. You can see Regina Bakery in the background. It was the Vets Day parade I believe, or I would have been in my Little League Uniform. The LL team marching was the Amrose Association, managed by Gene Coyle and coached by my father. --Submitted by George Howe | ) |

This photo was taken from the Manhattan side of the Harlem River looking north towards the Washington Bridge (not GW) which connects from 181st Street in Manhattan to the Bronx. The dirt road on the left would be the present-day Harlem River Drive. In 1902 this was known as the Speedway which was built for the well-heeled to race their horses and carriages. The Speedway was the primary reason that C. K. G. Billings chose to build his estate where Ft. Tryon Park is today. --Submitted by Erik van Voorhees |

This photo was taken around 1964/65. It is in Riverside Park facing North from around 125th Street. The George Washington Bridge is in the background (barely visible because of the haze). The road on the left is Riverside Drive South; on the right, Riverside Drive North and that bridge that goes from 125th to I think to around 137th street. I never really knew where that bridge ended. --Submitted by Jane Shanahan, Cold Spring, NY |
