Through essays and poems, histories and vintage photos, Lyla Blake Ward makes this unique neighborhood-- 72nd street to 110<sup>th--</sup> east and west of Broadway, come alive.</p> <p>Looking back-- and back---and back, she is able to recapture the atmosphere of this singular community, its culture and the families who lived there--a place, according to the author, where almost everyone she knew was Jewish and only the pigeons ate white bread.</p> <p> </p>
