I found aerial and other pics of where me and Hiram were raised. Wow. So cool. Thanks Rudy for the link. Here they are…amazing what has happened to the areas.

This is where Hiram grew up with his sisters and his mom and dad. Where they would travel on the train to Primitive Christian Church almost every day of the week!

This is where I grew up with my single parent mom, where I learned to do the Hustle, where I lived through a mini-fire and a robbery, where I witnessed domestic violence on the streets and where there was a neighborhood bodega (grocery store) where my mom would get things fiao (on credit) until she would get paid and where my little sister was conceived and born. I can’t even believe I remembered the address!

From Brooklyn we moved to Manhattan. I remember praying to God that if he allowed us to move to Manhattan (so I could go to church with my uncle) I would serve Him forever. I also asked him to let me meet Scott Baio of Happy Days who played "Chachi" but that didn’t happen but the move to Manhattan did and it changed my life forever!
