[Photograph and memories courtesy of David Rakestraw, a Kew Gardens resident from 1961 to 1969.] Lefferts Boulevard, 1961. "This photo was taken in front of Duffy's Tavern. Up the street on the left was the tailor's shop.  He used to sew on the street and I would pull up a chair and chat with him. I worked for the New York Stock Exchange. Sometimes I would go to Wall Street by the Long Island Railroad, the L train at Richmond Hill or the E train at Queens Blvd.  Always had nice neighborhoods to walk through winter and summer.  I retired in 1997 after 38 years in the stock brokerage business."
