A trip down memory lane

This book brought back many memories. From my Bar Mitzvah at Tikvas Israel Congregation to congregating on the corner of 42nd & Leidy Ave with the guys. Can't forget the hot summer nights riding the Woodside trolley to cool off or the trips to Crystal Pool, or the #15 trolley to go to Overbrook High. Then there's the Park Manor's Knockbockles (try explaining them to people!)or the meals at Grossman's, and so many more flashbacks. All these memories come flashing back while looking at the photos of this book. Thank you Mr. Meyers for this trip down memory lane.
