The 1st phots, I'm not exactly sure of the location, but I believe that it would be looking toward Georgia Avenue. The building on the lower right of the phot seems to be the diner that has been on the corner since I was a kid back in the 60s. As for the second picture, the 4 or 5 story building with the flag on the roof, is definitely the building which is still standing on Williams Avenue, which was used as a daycare center in the 70s. |

If you'd like, I can take & send you shots of these perspectives as they appear today. |

The two views which appear on the Zone 1 page are off. The black & white postcard is actually the entrance on Hopkinson Avenue, between Dean & Pacific Streets. The color picture from 2006 actually shows the view of 216 Rockaway Avenue & is not the entrance as oriented in most pictures of the home. The entrance of shown in the black & white photo would actually be positioned on the opposite side of the color picture, looking from East to West. I moved from Warwick St & Glenmore Ave in 1969 & still live around the corner from this location. Actually, if you were to take the picture on the House Of Good Shepherd page & were able to take just a few steps back, you'd be able to see the entrance on Hopkinson Ave, as it appears in the post card. I have a few pictures from back then, which include the shot of the schoolyard of P.S. 178, which show that perspective. In a related note, that store on the corner of Dean St, is still standing & though repaved, the schoolyard & surrounding building look relatively the same today. |

My knee socks were soaked and Mrs. Weis made me take them off and put them on the radiator in that basement cla**room. Guess they didn't think it was bad enough to close the schools. Come to think of it they hardly ever closed for bad weather! Those were special times. |
