That doesn't depict an officer training course. If it did, there would be four figures pointing in different directions showing which way is North. Ask Gino.

Hey, Joe! I LIKE your photo of Abe Reles- Are you from Brooklyn..?
) side of McCarren Park. You being a Northside guy, we should meet up at the Turkey's Nest on Bedford & N. 12th for a couple of cold ones the next time you're in the neighborhood. I was going to invite you for a chow mein sandwich and an egg cream at the Greek's on Bedford & Lorimer, across from Mike's Pool Hall by McCarren; unfortunately, both closed years ago. So did Goodman's (Sept. 24th), Stop Inn (1986), Gerke's (1994), Von Dohlen's and New Garden. Hey! The guy who's pointing isn't an officer, only a Feldwebel. Must be in an officer training course, and the officer is grading his performance in pointing. I like the ambulance. With a little scratch-building a whole variety of vehicles based on that chassis can be made.

I guess you forgot our PM conversation, Dennis.
Of course I'm from Brooklyn. Who else would know about the leader of the Brownsville Boys? I'm an old Dupont Streeter from Greenpernt, from the other (good
Holy Ghost is still open. We attend Mass in all of the remaining parishes in Greenpoint and Willy B. at least once during the month, for old times' sake and to support them. Vinny's is still serving up great slices. P.S. 17 is still edumacating the yoots of the neighborhood. Automotive has been reduced in size to accommodate three or four "academies" within the same building.
Ah, Woolworth's...located on the ground floor of Keramos Hall, across the street from St. Anthony's. Remember when Martin Paints took over the space after Woolworth's closed? After shopping at Woolworth's, you could go to Loft's, down the block for chocolates (chawklats), Europa Restaurant across from Halpern-Perlow, Debbie's by Meserole Ave. or Meyer's on Manhattan & Greenpoint for lunch, Charlotte Russe or ice cream. Did you go to Jack's Hobby Shop on Nassau Ave., between Leonard & Eckford? My friends and I used to go there regularly. We'd spend hours looking at all the great model kits along the wall on the left side of the store. Mrs. Zelten, aka Mrs. Jack, always would say, "Ach, Mein Gott!!! Vat happens first, you buy something or I drop dead?!?" My usual reply was, "You dropping dead", at which she would yell at us to get out "But, first you pay!"

Maybe that's the "Finger of Doom" Wonderweapon the Nazi's were still developing, and they're just practicing aiming.

News for you New York boys, The NYC's Iconic Carnegie Deli Is closing down at the end of the Year. Where are you going to get your Pastrami sandwich FIX at. I can't believe NYC would let this happen!

NYC has nothing to do with the closing. It was the owner's choice. The family still will operate in Bethlehem, Pa. and Vegas, in addition to licensed products.
Carnegie wasn't the be all-end all for sandwiches. We still have Katz's and 2nd Avenue Delis in Manhattan and a bunch of great kosher delis in Brooklyn and Queens. The natives know where to go. It's the interloping, playcationing foodie transplants from Flyoverlandia who will be up the creek without a paddle since an overwhelming majority don't know the city outside of Manhattan north of Union Square or Greenpoint-Williamsburg-Western Bushwick and won'travel to areas not serviced by the L train.
I've stopped at Brothers Deli on S. 6th St. in Minneapolis. Good pastrami; but, the bread is super dry and not enough garlic in the pickles.
Joe your right on about Brothers deli in MN. Terrible sandwiches, Brothers Deli use to have 16 outlets in Mn, North Dakota. They had to sell all of them in the 80's. Then they later opened in downtown Mn. Dennis I agree 100 % about new york style pizza. There is no other choice! New york eatery's have always led usa in great food places.
:D whats going on with Manhatten

There's too much finger pointing going on these days and ICM is contributing to it.
