That's funny... I'm from "the OTHER side" of Ridgewood! I lived on DeKalb between Irving & Knickerbocker & I was born at Wyckoff Heights hospital. I was recently just over there for the first time in over 30 yrs. to see the old apartment building I grew up in. VERY different from what I remembered!
Glendale, huh? Next time I run over to guitar center in L.I.C. I should pop by....
