Headed to the shop
Title:  Headed to the shop
Description:  A look at the Pack 406 members and some parents who were on the Morris Park tour, riding the lead car of an MU train, one of the famous LIRR MP 54s. Note the ad for the Long Island Press. It would vanish into history in a few years, overshadowed by rival Newsday, which is still a big player in the New York newspaper market.

Commuters view
Title:  Commuters view
Description:  Dad liked this spot, and shot the scene often, in all kinds of conditions. Today he got a hint of his conveyance in it, as the car number of the MP 54 he is on shows on the window reflection. This is Little Neck Bay.
