Curious?

Ever wanted to know what a couple blocks north of Isabella St. looked like in October 1939?

Yeah, me too!

So, I found this today...
Lord God, I am enjoying researching for writing history.

LOL!

    Now I'm time traveling...I was in that Gimbels in the summer of 1979. I walked a block down and a block over from the William Penn Hotel to get a roll of film since the hotel gift shop was all out. I was at a SPACE: 1999 convention at the time.
