This winter scene shows a brother and sister sleigh riding along the Grand Concourse, between 198th Street and 199th Streets. Also shown are snow piles and small houses in the rear.
"We would have the snow come in the wintertime. We would be packed -- there would be hundreds of kids and parents, adults on the hills -- afternoons, early evenings -- going down the hill sleigh riding, going to the lake to ice skate. These were things that we just looked forward to and couldn't get enough of as soon as the snow would arrive or the cold weather."
