Madison Square, New York City, circa 1880

Long before they built a "Garden" there!

@ElwoodBlues It's the Worth monument, dedicated to a general from the War of 1812.

@samueltyler2 True. The one today is not the original Madison Square Garden.

Have you ever lived in NY ?

DrWatson · 70-79, M

@bijouxbroussard Only as a young boy. I was born in the Bronx and spent the first 8 years of my life in an Italian immigrant neighborhood called Belmont. Then my family moved to the suburbs on Long Island.
