He probably dodged another bullet by retiring in Jan 2001. God Bless him.

I remember it well. I was repairing a phone line down the block a couple days before. Fortunately neither you or your uncle were there at the time. After so many years of working in different buildings you take for granted nothings gonna happen. Sad to say a few people died there.

This reminds me of the apartment bldg that exploded on State St. years ago right near E226. I believe the residents smelled gas no one called and the apt. house was leveled. I think a man and his wife were killed.

Don't blame you my friend. Lucky it wasn't too often we had work there.

Another rough spot. These Brooklyn jobs are bringing back memories of places I'm glad I don't work in anymore.

Years ago my coworkers and I would get phone repair jobs there. It was a two man building one does the work the other watches his back. You didn't want anyone sneaking up on you while you were on a ladder.

Right down the block from the St. George.

Probably a 2min ride from Degraw.

Happy Birthday to the USMC. At the moment I'm reading Escaping The Trap by Roy E. Appleman. The story of X Corps fighting withdrawal in Nov/Dec 1950. In here is also much about the 1st Marine Division including Lt. Col Raymond Davis' heroic march in brutal winter conditions to save Fox Company...

Happy Veteran's Day to all here who served our Country. Thank you.

Maybe Citizen shouldn't be allowed to broadcast radio transmissions on the app. Just have it in one place like Broadcastify with no video. It won't be so interesting. I live in Middlesex CO and most of the local PD is encrypted. Its really not an issue here because the depts are small and...

There's also cameras everywhere so anyone going in and out of vacant buildings will be picked up by a camera or a cellphone user.

What a disgrace. They want to take out SI companies? That place is more crowded than ever. These morons are a danger to public safety while being in charge of it. Not 1 FDNY member should EVER be laid off period. As one example E157 responded to my sister's house last year on the 3rd alarm to...

The late Vernon Cherry was a great singer off the job. I've mentioned in another thread the band Starfire he was a part of performed at my wedding.

On the other side of Sackett was Vinny's. Great food and Vinny was a good guy he was one of the brothers from Nino's on Union and Henry. The good old days.

For me personally ANYTHING like that should be donated straight out to the 9/11 Museum. Or kept on site where it came from such as a firehouse.

Ft. Greene projects know them well. Rough spot.

Years ago it was great. A couple friends had stands there. Sausage and peppers of course!
