    My dad was in the first wave on d-day i still remember the stories he told, as I have grown older and wiser I now look back and think of the storied he didnt tell--the deaths he must have seen, the liberation of the concentration camps. They were truly named the Greatest Generation.

    I look and read every day in the obits when I see a American flag by a name, we are loseing our veterns every day, we should be proud of what they have done for us, and what they are doing fo us each and every day now around the world.

    For thoses of you that have served thank you--thank you for making this a betrter world to live in.

    Well said, I too would like to add my thanks.

    Not for me brother...my relief is also from Poughquag so his misery led me to opt to take Rte 9 to 301 to the TSP. 9 SB was a friggin mess.

    The signs for the TSP and no trucks is a joke. The only other thing that I can say is I always thought that having a road name with "Parkway" at the end was universal for no commercial trucks.

    Not always, New Jersey allows trucks on the Garden State Parkway from exit 105 south to Cape May.

    Spoke with the lady who owns the flower shop in that strip, she said that she moved there in 1983

    right after the fire. The fire started in the dry cleaners either 1981 or 1982.

    New Haven FL9

    The 1,800-hp Fl9 was built at the request of the New York, New Haven& Hartford. The railroad wanted adiesle locomotive that could also be underground in third- rail electrified territory into Grand Central Station. The FL-9 had a third- rail pickup shoe mounted on each side of its six-wheel Flexicoil rear trucks, which were unique to this model. Sixtywere built;30 1,750-hp units in 1957 and 30 locomotives from September through November 1960. These were the last F units built.

    Although I'm pretty sure this is a custom job (?), I never knew Ford made a Crown Victoria Station wagon (at least for that era of Crown Vics).

    I see this every now and again around Hartsdale. This photo was taken by me on 11-30-06

    Maybe Ford makes them for the funeral business, such as a hearse.
