Great memory. I was at the Black Sabbath concert described in the poster – one if the few that I attended inside. I sat outside on the Waldo Ave wall for most others. At that time and age, I couldn’t afford more than one paid entry once in a while. Exciting times in Riverdale for sure!

Wow – interesting. I know that Spuyten Duyvil Parkway’s name change din the 1950s and thought the whole area southward was known as Spuyten Duyvil. So, if the name Kingsbridge was rejected at Barney’s meeting, what name was decided for the area? It sounds like Van Cortlandt Heights may have been the name for the area we now call Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil? Is that true? Also, my family home; NW corner of W 238th & Greystone had the name “Waldo Hutchinson Estate” written on the land’s map associated with the property survey and deed. I am surprised that this name does not appear on the map. Any thoughts?

I wonder where on Kappock St. PS 24 was located? I only know it as being on 236th near Independence Ave.
