Places Where We Lived Part 2 - Elmsford

1624 Woodside Drive, Elmsford N.Y.


























Cookie Crisp!!!~George, Ricky and Joey should get the reference.












On another trip to Fishkill N.Y. I jumped off the NY State Thruway and made my way towards Rt 100a. Except for the homes, you would not recognize the old neighborhood. The entrance to Woodside drive, once dominated by several Victorian style homes, is now a commercial business park. The bridge that we called "the wall", where we spend many a time contemplating our future exploits, is completely gone, and the stream that it once covered is now obscured by asphalt. The Shell station across Rt 100a is still there but instead of the tennis club to its immediate right, there is a professional office building - progress, maybe not?
The KnollWood Country Club maintenance shack is still right behind our old house, but now there is a fence demarking the two properties - I guess they got smart after we "borrowed" their gulf carts so often.

I came across this quote about time; it seems apropos.

"The present is the point at which time touches eternity". - C. S. Lewis
