And so during this wonderful Holiday season, I pay tribute to the “OLD BLACK COAL STOVE” and the wonderful memories I have for it.
warren i wonder if u remember my grandmothers sister and her family
i believe the last name was mulvaney not sure they lived on 12th street right below 6th avenue
her first name was estelle they had a daughter judy
Helen, I lived just below 6th Ave on the even side. There was a family in one of the apartment houses named Mulverhill (spelling?) I am sorry but the names you mentioned, (Estelle, Judy) do not ring a bell in my empty head.
Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy 2010 :santa: -

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FRIENDS
Just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays before I leave work. (Patsy, I am working until 1 too). I am off next week so I hope to relax and enjoy some time with the family.
Warren: Speaking of old black stoves. I can top that. When I lived at 301 23rd Street we had a shower in the kitchen! We could wash our dishes and take a shower at the same time. (lol)
Paul: I have Danny's number at home. Will email it to you asap. I'm sure he would love to hear from you.
Just one more thing. I never got in on the ground floor re the Michael/Michelle saga. I must have missed it early on. Can anyone fill me in? Is it that they are meeting for the first time after many years? That's the feeling I get from the blogs.
LOVE TO ALL AND PEACE AND HAPPINESS FOR THE NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!! -
HI BARBARA.. THEY ARE FREINDS FROM BACK IN THE DAY & SOMEHOW (NOT SURE HOW) THEY HOOKED UP AND FELL IN LOVE...
HE IS DRIVING UP AFTER XMAS TO PICK HER UP HERE IN BROOKLYN & MOVE HER TO FLA.. IT'S A GREAT LOVE STORY.. THEY ARE A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN
MICHELLE, COME ON & FILL IN THE BLANKS
I REMEMBER LIVING ON 21 ST BACK IN EARLY 60'S & OUR SHOWER WAS ALSO IN THE SINK..LOL
HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS, BARBARA.. TALK TO U SOON XX -
HEY JUDY!!! ENJOY.. KISSES XXX TO MOM & BOBBY..

Hey Patsy:
Thanks for the fill in. That is a really nice "love story." I thought it was something like that. My best wishes to them both.
As a little girl that shower in the kitchen was really an embarrassment to me. I will never forget it. But that was the best we could do back then. Don't know how my mom did it. Three kids and a single mother. I guess we all struggled back then.
I remember Mrs. Zucas (the landlady) coming every month for the rent. I think she and her husband owned a lot of the buildings in the neighborhood. She would bring a lamb's brains sandwich with her to eat while she waited for my mother to gather the rent. I wanted to throw up! (lol) funny the thigns we remember. -
For all those who will not be on the blog until after Christmas,, Jeanette, Barbara, Maryann, etc...I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year!!!!!!

WE WERE 5 IN THE APARTMENT WITH THE SHOWER IN THE SINK...WE HAD A CURTAIN AROUND IT FOR PRIVACY??? LOL BUT, THAT WAS THE NORM FOR SOME OF US BACK THEN... WE LIVED NEXT DOOR TO LONGO'S POOL HALL ON 21 BTE 4&5TH AT THAT TIME..
