Hey Everyone,
Went on 'walkabout' in the old neighborhood and took pics along the way. I've posted them all on my fb page you are all invited to look, take. I would appreciate it if you would mark your home if you see it

OK, see you soon.

I started from 6th ave and 21st, went along 6th to 20th, up 20th to 7th along 7th to 19th, down 19th to 6th, along 6th to 21st and down 21st. Stopped in St. Johns ( boy has that changed). Look at some of the paintings on the walls, I'm sure you'll recognize the names.
Left St. Johns went to 5th and then back up 21st to 6th. Along 6th to 22nd and up 22nd to 7th. along 7th to 21st and then down 21st to 6th.
Enjoy

We toured the neighborhood when I was up there in September.

Did you avoid 20th Street???

Festina and Joe this is for you

Yeah, resized !!!! Congrats.

Well Janet I didn't want a ticket from the blog police

No, I didn't avoid 20th It was the first street I walked up form 6th ave

Hello Everyone,

Tim, great photos, thanks.

What I still cannot believe is why St. Johns after all these years still have their iron fence in front of church painted RED, yet the school's iron fence is GREEN, is this a sign that all assoicated with school and church are trully ITALIAN LMAO.

Not that there isnt anything wrong with red , Quote from Sienfeld lol

HEY R.T. GLAD TO SEE YOU POPPED IN.

OK, WATCHING THE OSCARS. DON'T KNOW IF I WILL STAY AWAKE FOR ALL OF IT. WE SHALL SEE

PEEK BACK LATER.
