My parents moved to East 51 Street near First Avenue when I was two years old: my father back from the war, attending law school during the day, working as an electri- cian at night. My earliest memory is of sitting with my mother on the stoop one summer evening looking at the lights at the top of the General Electric Building mul- ticolored, beautiful and calm. My brother was born that summer; then, we were four in a tiny apartment in the small art deco building where Burl Ives used to visit a friend – his American songs amplified in the airshaft when he sang in the apartment below. Time passed. We prospered and moved to a bigger apart- ment in the neighborhood, then another a little later on. In those postwar years when many moved to the suburbs, my mother was perfectly happy to stay where we were: P.S. 135 on the corner; the park below ; on First Avenue; Saint John The Evangelist Church; Joe Bobbin’s lunch counter; Abby’s candy store; Mr. Stanley’s TV repair shop; Mitchell Kennerly’s books; Grovenor House and Kips Bay Boys Club; Saint Bartholomew’s Girl Scout Troop; Kren’s bar; the German butcher shop; Rikers. Street carts left over from another era: ice and coal and knives. Street games from an earlier time: ring-a-levio and stoop ball and caps. My father ran for city council. Sadly he lost by just a hun- dred votes but happily my parents came to know every- one in the neighborhood in the course of the campaign: safe: Moran’s Irish landladies who owned the ; Italian men red tugboats boldly negotiated the currents of the estuary, who had worked in the abattoirs before the UN went up. misty nights their heavy foghorns eloquent assurance in Union leaders and prize fighters.
