Ordnance buffs should see the news about a
WWI British tank being uncovered in France!
See the Long Island Motor Parkway page, et seq.
The Long Island Motor Parkway had twelve little toll lodges and several other rather
more significant structures (some still standing) designed by noted architect John
Russell Pope; Pope also did other work on Long Island. A little more on him is
given at John Russell Pope on LIMP page 12.
A Motor Parkway Panel has been convened to keep the
LIMP alive in situi, in minds, and in museums.
A pair of Long Island Motor Parkway afficionadoes, Sue
and Rob Friedman, turned up with a great site about the Bronx's old
Freedomland.
Interested in deep sea diving and palaeontology? Take a look at "Deep Sixed
Dinosaurs" on Naval and Marine continuation page 1.
Mike Natale has a fascinating "
THE TOLL ROAD MAP MASTER LIST" and also has a page on
the abandoned highway and tunnels of the old South Penn RR/Pennsylvania
Turnpike route, with great color photos.
While not about history, per se, there is a book about the Fairchild Aerial Survey
photos, "Cities from the Sky: An Aerial Portrait of
America", by Thomas J. Campanella, which shows an enormous amount of
detail of Boston, New York, and many other cities in the '20s. '30s, and '40s; it is
simply staggering and well worth the trouble to borrow or buy.
Stay tuned!
