In trying to revisit the world of the 1940’s and 1950’s, and looking for a photo of the old Albany Branch Library near Central Park and on Lawrence, I tumbled across this fascinating nostalgic tsimis. However, I’m appalled that the theme stresses Von Steuben. This former Rough Rider must insert into the recollections of 1952, that Roosevelt won the City Basketball Championship, and undoubtedly, many a student celebrated along Lawrence Avenue. The Terminal was the class of the neighborhood and the air conditioning, if I recall, made for many a tolerable summer afternoon, if one could tolerate the fusillade coming from the balcony. The wonderful scent of Karmelkorn and the candy stores along Lawrence. Those were the days! Wish we’d taken photos of what seemed to be the permanent icons of their day, like the cream and red streetcars of the CSL.
