Gee, my comment (and a repeat) are listed as "Anonymous." Anyone who knows me, also knows rather well, that "Anonymous' is neither on of my names and/or my personality! Joe Fanning - 40 Arlington- later on North Arlington, then Glen Ridge, now New London, NH.

A tid bit about Arlington Ave is that despite being the FIRST house on the East side - it was # 40 (corner of Bayview). as a kid, me, my siblings and cousins (re up at 42) could never figure out about "what happened to the other 39 homes."

Grew up on Arlington Ave at Bayview. Thus, Skinner was *my* park for a good 15 years. Of course, always thought the Bayside Park was a 'real big' park and, definitely, that THE Lincoln Park was the all time ultimate. Nevertheless, walked, biked, skated, sledded down Wilkinson to Skinner a zillion and one times. Though now living in rural NH still head back to JC around Christmas time to see the area and visit our grammar school (St. Pat's) at THE Junction for a concert. My spouse is from Union St "across the Blvd." Thus, while we can speak about numerous things we constantly recall. However, Skinner is MINE, whereas we can *only* mutually converse really about the Arlington Park since it was so close to the school.

It's great to go wlakng down there now, like a little nature reserve.

Very efficiently written information. It will be priceless to anybody who uses it, together with myself. Sustain the good work – for positive i will try extra posts.
