Milton Pappas: Future KVer in 1920 and 1930

I recently learned from Milton's daughter, Tina, that her dad lived at this address. There was a sizable Greek population living in the Fourth Ward in the early part of the 1900's. No, he's not baseball pitcher, but years ago Tina had many schoolmates convinced it was.

The Journey To Knickerbocker 7: Patrick Picariello

My usual source of location, the census, came up empty. However he was on a list of those passing the bar exam in 1930 (nytimes)

Where Picariello was living in 1930.

The Journey To Knickerbocker: Harry Liebowitz, 122 Allen Street

This must be Harry in the 1920 census since we know that Harry had a sister named Yetta and lived near the Allen Street baths. He was 7 years old and the eldest child. His father was Hieman (probably Hyman), his mother Sadie, his sisters were Yettie and Bessie and he had a brother Abie. Hyman arrived in 1911 and Sadie in 1912. The google picture of 122 Allen may not be accurate and even if it was it may be wrong since the eastern side of Allen was altered in the 30's when the "el" was dismantled and the street widened. Note, the 70 stands for the apt number.

The Journey To Knickerbocker 6

It's possible that it's the same short journey for the Mirra's from 115 Madison to the same building, 10 Monroe Street, as the Canterella's

The Journey To Knickerbocker 5

From Rivington Street around the corner from the family shirt store on Orchard Street

The Journey To Knickerbocker 4

Could be Richard's father. In any case another short journey to Knickerbocker. Nice job at the borough resident's office.

The Journey To Knickerbocker 3

The Serafin family had a very short journey.

The Journey To Knickerbocker 2

The Nathanson's came from East New York. This is from 1942, Moe and Phyllis wouldn't arrive until the late 40's. Interesting because Morris Karney's address in 1942 (199 Powell Street) was less than a mile away.
