A trip to the Hall of Fame

This weekend, Jo and family took a walk over the bridge to the Bronx and the lovely Hall of Fame. I think its wonderful copper roof has been beckoning them ever since they arrived at their new abode!






All the fall leaves are starting to show..wonderful!


I was surprised to find that all the busts are outside. And the inside is a library it turns out!



Of course there are some lovely photos of them all, especially the baby, in his Halloween outfit!
It reminds me of the little miracle he is...as Jo bought the little suit on the very day she found out that she was pregnant, as it was about Halloween time then.
I was wondering if it would fit him, after all this time..and it does. What a wonderful little miracle he is!
Here is a photo of Andrew with one of his favorite statues! Now I have forgotten which one it was. Was it the author of Sleepy Hollow? I will have to get back to you with the right answer later!
OK I do believe that is the bust of Benjamin Franklin. Hope I have that right.

Did you know that Rotunda was once part of the NYU Campus? In the 80s, I think, NYC sold it to Bronx Community College .. I had a gal pal who lived on Burnside Avenue just across from the campus .. it was great fun going there to walk around ... and from there its a short walk to Fordham Rd ... and shopping

I sometimes miss the Bronx ... I grew up there .. went to college (Lehman College which was Hunter College when I went there) there .. thanks for the trip down memory lane, Annie!

Daryl...so glad you enjoyed the trip down memory lane. The roof of that building had been beckoning all the time I was there when they had the new baby...now I get to see it in the photos!

I had intended to put these photos on here sometime...(as you know how much I love NY) but I accidentally put them on here last night instead of my family blog...mmm..must have been a bit tired!
