Notes on the old neighborhood, from Jonas Bronck to the 1970s
Looking Eastward
Before the homes across the street went up in the 1940s, this was the view from our bedroom windows. The Forte truck farm is in the foreground; the Hutchinson River Parkway drawbridge is at left; the towers of the New Haven Railroad trestle are toward the right. The trees in the background are part of Pelham Bay Park.
