Haunting

I don't know why I keep coming back to this scene. It's one of those "I want to go there" images. The split-level park is so unlike anything that would be designed today. I think I found it: RIverside Drive and W. 116th Street. Can any New Yorkers confirm that?

Roll you own

Looks like the young man, in the bottom of the photo, is trying to "roll" a cigarette...my parents did the same, in the early days, to save money.

Tempting

It looks to be more fun to climb.

Lots of intrigue!

Why is there an "S" on the ground?
What is that guy doing, rolling a Cig?
The fellow behind him seems to have a bottle of something, and where does the small child fit in to all of this?
