4.0 out of 5 stars Trip Down Memory Lane, August 25, 2006
This review is from: The Bronx Lost, Found, and Remembered 1935-1975 (Hardcover)
This was a wonderful reminisience of my childhood in The Bronx from shopping at Alexander's, Loehman's and the Palace Movie theater. Even found Mayers Ice Cream Parlor on E 219th Street and White Plains Road where I used to get sundaes and the best egg creams made by Joe Brancato! Never found one better. And the piece I noticed was written by my St. Mary's grade schoolmate, Carlo Gambino!! Lots of great photos. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars takes me back to my childhood, December 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Bronx Lost, Found, and Remembered 1935-1975 (Hardcover)
This book takes me back to my childhood days of living in the Bronx, from 1938 to 1965. I moved back to the Bronx again for four more years, from 1983-1987. In a way, it was good to be back, living near Bronx Park, the Botanical Gardens, and the Bronx River walk again.
