Cranford Street Landmark

Recently, I saw an old Nash similar to the one in the photo that brought back an old memory. Somewhere along the 6500 block of Cranford Street, there was an old beat-up rusty, turquoise and white two-tone car, which I believe was a Nash. That car sat on the lawn inside a fence in the exact same spot for so long I considered it a landmark. It was there for so many years from perhaps the late 1950's through the entire 1960's decade and beyond Does anyone else remember that car? Was it in fact a Nash? I always wondered why that car was kept there. I also remember a barbershop along Cranford street near the intersection with Magee Street, where I had my haircut several times as a young boy. Anyone remember that? I think there was "Wildroot" sign in the window of that barbershop.

Northeast High School 40 Year Reunion

This coming weekend, NEHS class of 1969 will hold it's 40 year reunion at the Doubletree Hotel in downtown Philadelphia. So, I'll be headed back to Philly this weekend and hopefully will come away with an idea or two for a future post. Please let me know if any reader of this blog is a member of that class. Looks like I'll be missing the Phillies playoff game on Saturday night due to the conflict, but I'm sure it'll be fun reminiscing with old high school friends.
