1895
A rural scene of two girls standing on the Grand Concourse near 205th Street.
"It was so rural - so interesting.
Even as a child, you just felt you were in the Garden of Eden because the community life was very agreeable, very cooperative. No crime, no trouble. The feeling was -- it was good to be alive, even as a child."
