After many of the former LMRC players
viewed the lost treasure Weiner film recently posted a comment was made about the location of the Lower Manhattan Republican Club. Howie remarked:
this stuff is awesome - better than the treasure trove from Abbottabad ... who needs a time machine? ... overall look is more like the '50s than 1960 .. great picking out some subtle stuff like that wall that was behind the 3rd base dugout with the cutout leading to the 177 schoolyard ... loved seeing Marty mess with me in the team photo - the price for being a batboy ... btw anyone who might have guessed the address of LMRC was 90 Market - please pick up your prize. Thanks Barry , Dave.
I remarked, using the above photos, as proof
I used to think it was on Market too, but that was the democractic club.
90 Market didn't exist at that time. That address was to the right of PS 177 and those buildings were torn down by that date.
lmrc was at 90 Madison
Murray made a good point, however
I remember the club being across from the A & P in the space that was the delli.
Marty & I held a New Years eve party their one year
My response:
I'm sure you are right. maybe it moved there after leaving madison street. that party probably was after the exodus to warbasse
LMRC WAS DEFINITELY AT 90 MADISON ST. I REMEMBER GOING TO A CHRISTMAS PARTY THERE IN THE EARLY '60
ReplyDeleteAL SMITH DEMOCRATIC CLUB WAS ACROSS FROM THE A&P ON MARKET ST.
ReplyDeleteI SAW THE 2 VIDEOS OF LMRC BASEBALL TEAM AND I REMEMBER HARRY LIEBOWITZ COACHING THEM. I PLAYED IN TWO BRIDGES LITTLE LEAGUE FROM '63 TO '66 AND DURING THAT TIME ONE OF THE TEAMS I PLAYED FOR WAS AL SMITH DEMOCRATIC CLUB AND IT WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE A & P ON MARKET ST. BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES FOR ME SEEING THE OLD DIRT FIELD AT COLEMAN OVAL PARK.
