I know that the Biograph Film Studio was located in Tremont section of the Bronx. They also filmed Car 54 Where you there. The Edison Studio at 2628 Decatur Ave & Oliver Place in the Bedford Park section of the Bronx. This is the area where the first Frankenstein movie was made.
So I took Sharon to Stella D’Orio’s in 1972. One of our early first dates, because I wanted to impress her. Guess it was the right choice, 50 years later we are happy together. I do remember I was a little pricey, much more than the special

g. I think new steps look scary to me !It is good to compare the 1777 map and the 1887 maps together.
The 1777 map has the Bronx River to far west, along with the Hutchinson Rive
The Old Boston Post Road, along with the Miles Square Road, is too far South.
Nick, As I mentioned the other night – the OLD Boston Post road up the hill ( Heath Ave) from The Kingsbridge was steep and after passing Ft Independence heads a little Southeast & downhill to the Bronx river. Going along Bailey Ave from Heath to “Mosholu” and /or Up Broadway to the Van Cortlandt Mansion and meeting up with “Mosholu Cut Through” aka Miles Square Road that meets the Fordham Ridge at Jerome Ave and 233rd St. Basically…. At VC Mansion, taking the Major Deegan to 233rd and Van Cortlandt Ave East ( AKA Miles Square Road) North onto Kimball Ave east of the Yonkers reservoir. This way GW stays on the high ground above the Bronx River vs Webster Ave and Bronx River Road ( Yonkers ) along the Bronx River.
appears to be the current plans for the site
