About Wild New York
Wild New York became Ephemeral New York in March 2008. Check us out and tell us what you think!
Wild New York was supposed to focus on the forests, beaches, parks, and inlets that host nifty animal and plant life in New York City. But there’s so much else out there, and we love history and trivia and strange city relics that somehow survived the passing of time. We’re going to try to cover everything and reorganize our site to get a better handle on it all.

I think it’s GREAT!!!!! I just discovered your site via MUG and have been entranced at how wonder-
ful it is. I lived in Tudor City (pre co-op) and was
delighted to read its history.
I am looking for 5 Points but can’t seem to find it.
You have certainly done a lot of work and discovering all the wonderful pictures only adds to
the enjoyment of discovery.
It’s a wonderful thing you’re doing. We seem to
have so much of our past taken away; it’s nice to
see what was there before some of these God hor-
hible, big, glass buildings replaced so much of our
historic past.
I am going to tell all my friends about your web
page so they can enjoy it as well.
GOOD FOR YOU.

In addition to the comment I submitted to Ephemeral New York about Daddy Browning, I request that you add my general New York City blog to your blogroll. It is entitled The New York Wanderer and its url is http://www.new-york-wanderer.blogspot.com
Thanks,

Hi, I have spent a number of my retirement years thinking about the long go and mostly forgotten San Juan Hill section of Manhattan. My parents , when first married , lived at 64 Amsterdam Ave. They were relocated to 67 Amsterdam Ave. to make way for the NYC Housing Development: Amsterdam Houses, 61st-64th Street. My brother , widowed mom and myself, were relocated up town to the Frederick Douglass Houses. NYC likes to move people around.
Presently I am trying my hand at writing memories of the experiences. Anyone wishing to contribute or share your ephemerals are welcome.
Thanks,
