Holy Shit!!!!
These pictures remind me of growing up in the neighborhood. We lived at 104 th st and 43 ave. A block from Linden park and the ps 16 school yard across the street. Eddie’s hot dogs at the corner. He started with a push cart then a motorized cart like they use to use to bring relief pitchers from the pen to the pitching mound, then the Famous Eddies Meal Mobile right by the park. Precious memories.
