This was Lucky's Lingerie shop on 170th Street near Walton Avenue, sometime in the mid-1970s.

Looking west towards Jerome Avenue, this was taken on Mt. Eden Avenue in the mid-1970s. The Surrey Theater had closed for good by then.

--Dvora G.

Editor's Note: The bleakness of this image reflects the urban blight that was infecting many Bronx neighborhoods during the 60s and 70s.


This was the Villa Avenue Italian feast "grease pole."

--Trish B.

Editor's Note: This appears to be in front of 3177 Villa Avenue, between E. 205th St. and Van Cortlandt Ave. East. Based on the hairstyles and other clues, it was probably taken in the early 1970s.


This was Public School 77, circa 1929. It was new at the time. It was located on East 172nd Street between Ward and Boynton Avenues. The school originally went to the 8th grade but in 1953 the school board introduced Junior High Schools and students were transferred to a newly constructed school nearby.

--Arnold Pollack


This was Gerard Avenue just north of E. 161st Street, taken from E. 162nd Street which diagonally connected to River Avenue. In the top middle background, you can see the Bronx County Courthouse.

--Paul H.


This was East 161st Street looking east towards the Concourse Plaza Hotel from Walton Avenue. To the right is the Earl Theater.

--Paul H.

Editor's Note: Judging from the theater marquee, this photo was probably taken in 1940-41.


Taken around 1950, this was the east side of the Grand Concourse just north of Fordham Road, with the iconic Dollar Savings Bank towering over the neighborhood.

--Steven B.


This was the Orchard Beach pavilion and the promenade along the beach itself in the summer of 1937 when it first opened.

--Anonymous


This was the intersection of East Kingsbridge and Fordham Roads, with the J.F. Bryan Park Triangle in the foreground in 1930. The Windsor Theater on the right presented live shows from 1920 until it closed in 1953.

--Paul H.


This was the playground next to PS 122 on the corner of West Kingsbridge Road and Bailey Avenue. There were no plastic features in 1954 and everything was hard, cold metal, including the slides, monkey bars and swings. The buildings in the background were the Marble Hill Houses.

--Theresa B., Erie, PA
