NYC - UWS: The San Remo

NYC - UWS: The San Remo
Originally uploaded by wallyg

If my memory serves me correctly, I went to a party in one these suites in the autumn of 1960. Let me just say, the name sounds mighty familiar, and the bit about the terraces. Yes, it had to be the San Remo. It all began when I arrived in Times Square. I was sitting in a Greek Restauraunt eating spahetti. That was my first clue that there was something less than normal about Times Square. Too, the newstands were less than traditional. Let me put it this way--the magazines laid out were different than the ones in Kansas City. So, I was sitting there eating spaghetti...and, well, it turned out to be a whirling, spinning time that included such places as the Pepperment Lounge, Mama Leone's restaurant and more martinis than I had ever sipped in my life.

NYC - UWS: The San Remo
The San Remo, a luxury co-operative apartment at 145-146 Central Park West, was designed by Emery Roth in 1939. Construction began weeks before the Great Depression. In the 1970s, the San Remo converted toa coop.

THE LANDMARK SERIES were popular in the 1950s and were probably responsible for the interest in history of millions of children. Althouh these casual biograpies were dotted with what has to be dialogue that is the work of the author's imagination, they are factually correct in dates and historically accurate. Editor

Landmark Books were a series of history books published in the 1950's for children. I loved reading them as a kid, but got most of them from the library where the had dull covers without dustjackets. I've been picking some up at thrift shops. I really enjoy the cover art, and since I seem to barely be able to make a dent in my monthly upload limit, I'm sharing them with you.

That's a big bite. And a very unflattering picture.
