V.C. Photo

pogues5 that photo, which I assume Maggie posted, of a young mother
holding her child in a Verdun lane is reminiscent of every memory I
have of Verdun. I lived at 457 Second for the first 18 years of my
humble life, and spent much of my childhood in the lane between 1st and
2nd. I can recall pictures very similar to that one lost forever. Thank
you for this one.
The lane traffic, in which the iceman (river ice to eat -yuk!),
roofers(tar to chew -hmm), ragman (to wonder about), police -(run like
hell!).
Second Avenue.

"To keep your marriage brimming, / With love in the loving cup, /
Whenever you're wrong, admit it; / Whenever you're right, shut up."
