The Men home --

[barbaranoela]

Well LouieHood and his Merry Men had a grand time in the city------
They covered alotta ground---saw some of the buildings they took care of---walked Broadway---and then hit one of the deli's for a bite--

But Louie said--the city is really cleaned up-----and HOE town is gone------and then he saw Equitable Life Insur. Co. where I worked---
The area has and still is becoming quite the place to be----its like the papers say----our lower east side is becoming a real snazzy area---
The streets that we knew as MOTT---DELANCEY--are becoming very up scaled---

The guys figured that we gals could never keep up with the walking they did --but who knows~~~~ so another *tour* is planned and I am hoping that *us ladies* are invited--and if we tire out they can always drop us off at one of the department stores--
I would really luve to see Greenwich Village---cus that was very artsy a long time back and I betcha it has to be top notch now--
I almost wish I was back in my *old neighborhood*

So folks---this closes --with a along with me *remembering* the fun times we had --remembering all my friends---and puts a on my weary face now---
Sometimes U can never go *home* again but U surely can *keep* home in your heart!!!

Happy dreams---

Hmmmmmmmm. A long walk down memory lane. It sounds as though the trip was pretty much of a "scouting mission".

I saw part of a PBS documentary on the "lower east side" back in the 1920s and '30s, last night - the part I saw seemed to be mostly about the development of the garment industry, and similar developments, but I was half asleep at the time. LOL.

G'nite Mrs. Columbo.

Luve,
