When I ...Brian - that is a sad loss for Manhattan. When I was a kid, my father belonged to an association for ex-officers of Squadron A, the reserve unit he was assigned to during WW II (he had bad vision). It was originally a cavalry unit and their armory, on upper Lexington Avenue, actually had indoor polo games on Saturday afternoons. I loved going there with my father and watching the horses from a balcony off the bar (and gorging on their bottomless bowls of peanuts). After the game, he would take me down to the stables. This was in the late 50s and early 60s.<BR/><BR/>Is the armory building itself still there?<BR/><BR/>Bob<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://saintlouismodailyphoto.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">St. Louis Missouri Daily Photo Blog</A>Bob Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276510331824603844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-48092415098218846172007-05-09T12:47:00.000-04:002007-05-09T12:47:00.000-04:00riniroo - This is a story that everyone ran - news...riniroo - This is a story that everyone ran - newspapers, magazines, etc.<BR/><BR/>prokur - I do a lot of reading and investigating. Friends help sometimes. I have been living in the city for many decades, so I have a large inventory of things, situations, places, events.
