Yorkville Old Photos ~ 20 New Ones

southeast corner of York & 86th St ~ 1953
Growing up on 83rd Street I was blessed having both sets of grandparents living within two blocks.

My Dad's family was around the corner at 1582 York Avenue on top of Parker's Grocery and right next next to Old Timer's Tavern.

My Ryan grandparents lived at 1616 York Avenue right across from Peggy's Bakery between 85th & 86th Street.

With my schools PS 77 and St. Stephen's at the same distance my world was a heartbeat away.

Today on my photo page I put up 20 old Yorkville photographs that relate to 1616 York, 86th Street, and the schools. See them here.
