I just love this picture! Where, may I ask, did you find it? I live at 251 Seaman Apt. GRA and am beginning to study the history of Inwood. Thanks! -Casey
It’s actually a picture of a picture. I love it, too. It’ s hanging on the wall at New Heights Realty. I have some other old Inwood photos I should post.
Love the picture, I lived on Park Terrace East from mid 50’s to early 60’s. The Optimo that is in photo was Harry’s Candy store. Next to that was a grocery store called the Emerald Isle. It was a great place to grow up. Thanks again for the picture, please post more if available.
I grew up on Park Terrace East in the 70s. I remember a modernized Gulf Station and the Emerald Grocery(but not the candy store). Thanks for the great photo. Any others?

You can see an ever-growing collection of old Inwood photographs at my fellow Inwoodite’s site: http://myinwood.net/
And, actually, tonight there is a slideshow presentation of historic Inwood pictures at Indian Road Café. I think it’s going to be an ongoing event, so if you are ever back in the ol’ neighborhood, drop on in!
Thanks for the plug. If anyone wants to go straight to the old photos, this link might save a little time searching the site. http://myinwood.net/now-and-then/ It’s a sampling of the photos presented at the Indian Road Cafe where we’ve been doing an Inwood history presentation the first Monday of every month at 7:30 pm.
All the best–Cole
