☞ REMEMBER: 125th & 8th circa 1939

A photo from 1939 shows the congestion along 8th Avenue (today's FDB) and 125th Street along with a view of the elevated subway tracks that used to part of the scenery in much of Harlem.  Those said tracks would be torn down a couple of years after the archival photo was taken but the corner building in the photo still remains today.
