I have many great memories of that monumental place. I'm 66, born in 49. Raised by 75th St & Roosevelt Ave. We would ride our bikes to SSY. We'd leave our bikes in the weeds along Skillman Ave, and down the embankment. We would hang out by the double, now single, underjump that led to the loop and the wash racks. There would be cars from a dozen different roads going thru the wash racks. We rode the "name " trains around the loop. And stole all the loot we could! Silverware, dishes, glasses, towels, etc, etc. Still have stuff off the Broadway Limited, the Congressional, Spirit of St. Louis. My Mom was a waitress, then the hostess, in the main dining room, the Savarin, at Penn Station fron 1937 till the sad end in 63. The Old Man was a Pennsy Patrolman from 1947 to 1950 before joining the FDNY. They met in Penn Station! I spent quite a bit of time as a kid roaming around that grand place too. . |
