crosscut saw?...why doesn't he just hook up his covered wagon to it and let the horses pull it away from the house?
Agreed, ....that pictured scenario could go very bad, very quick.. Hope he has to pee...

Looks like a Landy's wedge to me...Old school Yonkers guys on here will remember...Willow St...
The Deli on Saw Mill River Rd (& Odell) makes a pretty close copy today...I think they even call it the Landy's wedge in honor.....We ordered them once about a year ago and they were very good.

I miss Landy's, they always had THE BEST wedges. You could call to order over the phone but the phone was always off the hook by 10 am because they already had too many orders to fill as well as the line that was always out the door and onto willow street.
I remember walking in there and seeing the cats laying on the shelves and old man Landy cutting meat for the wedges and then throwing a couple of pieces to the cats.
It was a great place, an old school staple of the park hill neighborhood. The place on saw mill comes close but I don't think anyone will ever be able to duplicate a Landy's wedge.

It looks like Comm. Kielb was vindicated. I guess the new guy coming in also told the Mayor and Dep Mayor that he could not operate safely with only one Batt. Chief. The second Batt. will be open again 24/7. Safety first

Anyone who thinks this woman is actually living in Yonkers needs to make a doctors appointment most ricky tick. She's simply establishing the paper trail she needs in order to "legally" live here, meanwhile she'll stay in her nice brick home in South Salem with her adopted children and husband, close to an hour away from the city. Its funny to me how its a requirement to be a legal resident of this city for a period of 3 months prior to taking the test, in order to even be considered to get a job as Yonkers cop, firefighter and even DPW I believe. The detective squad will even do an extensive background check to ensure they arent simply making a paper trail to fake the residency. They will knock on doors, talk to neighbors, check your credit, voting registrations, taxes, pay stubs, family history, YOU NAME IT! MEANWHILE, our own DEPUTY MAYOR can set policies and cite new rules and regulations, without ever having even eaten at a Yonkers Mcdonalds, let alone live here. I hope the Police Department does their job in this matter and begins investigating her now as well and conduct frequent sweeps of her residence to ensure she walks in and out of that door everyday. Lets check her mail, car registrations, insurance address, tax info, etc. Otherwise, she should be rejected just as quick as any other recruit/candidate/probie would if they were caught doing the same scam. Typical Yonkers....hasnt changed a bit. Good luck to the men and women of the Yonkers Fire Department! You will win this battle no doubt, cause good eventually always conquers over evil
Btw, I'm sorry for your recent loss men...its never easy to lose a brother...

Going to miss you A-ROD! And so are the citizens of yonkers. You were a true professional at your job and most of all a gentleman in life.

Courtesy of "The Man" Joe Pinto, here is the YFD TL "855" as it looked as originally delivered as assigned as Tower Ladder 71 (As R1Smokeater referenced above), as well as (Courtesy of Ron C) the Repainted Look of YFD TL "855" as TL71
I really like this original paint job and the "Original Light Bar" on top of the cab (All Red with White Pin Striping), rather than the White on Red repaint job as referenced in the 2nd photo)

I was driving this rig one sunny day, when a "sudden flash flood" on Palmer rd. blew both windshields in on us...Funny how these things can happen.....
