Facebook Photo Spins Journalist Back to Dad's Bronx Record Store
A picture worth a thousand LPs.
Spotted on Facebook by former Houston Chronicle staffer Alan Bernstein’s brother, the circa-1943 photo of Allerton Avenue in the Bronx shows a row of buildings, one of which has a sign dangling above that reads ‘Music Records.’
Per a blog post by Bernstein, dad took over that very store five years later and ran it until the turn of the 1960s. From a media connections point of view, there’s much more to the photo, as Bernstein reveals a little later:
The photo turned up at a recent reunion of residents of the hulking co-op apartment complex seen in the rear of the picture.
