West Farms really was, if you go out where the two families are in the east Bronx, you'll note that most of them were built in the 1950's and 1960's. When I was VERY young, we bought eggs and chickens out just past the el on E 233rd from a farmer.Right after the war, things built up bigtime, but there were still remains of rural. On Johnson Avenue right across from where I grew up in that picture I posted of where I lived the other day, there was a farm house at the top of that hill where I used to sled as a kid. It was still there the last time I was there around 1972 or so. Gone now too. :( |
