FOUND IN STATEN ISLAND

by Kevin Walsh

The John Lindsay campaign ad (likely dating to 1965) uncovered on Flatbush Avenue reminded me of the time back in 1998 when I was dazedly wandering the back roads of Staten Island and I located this shed on Crabtree Avenue in Bloomingdale, on which there was affixed a sign with Mayor Robert Wagner Jr.’s name on it; he was in office from 1953-1965.

Is that ad still there today, or is it probably gone by now?

Totally cool. Don’t think there is much demand for Abe Beame memorabilia. What a hack he was.
