Joe's Concession Stand in 1977. It was located in Inwood Park
on Isham Street across the street from Good Shepherd Church.
My Family owned the stand from the mid 1920's when the
Presbyterian Medical Center was built. It was given by the NYC
parks department to my Grandfather James Pupley and his brother
Peter when they arrived in this country from Greece in the
1900's. They came to the Parks Department with the idea to sell
snacks in the park. His original stand was on the site of the
Presbyterian Medical Center. They asked him what park he wanted
to relocate to and he chose Inwood Park. Joe (his real name was
Pete) sold candy, soda, hot dogs and ice cream. Frank and
Louise, his niece, took it over in 1971 and remained until 1988.
It has since been torn down. All the original owners - James,
Pete, and Frank and Louise (my parents) have passed away.
