Yes, Trees Grow in Brooklyn

Argyle Road - Brooklyn

Jim and I moved into an apartment on Argyle Rd. late June1957. Jim had just graduated from Johns Hopkins Medical School, Baltimore. The first time we went to look for an apartment we took the  train from Baltimore to Brooklyn . Jim was scheduled to start his internship at Kings County Hospital on July 1. That left us very little time to find a place to live. We saw six or seven apartments that day but none that would accept a child. Which is why we ended up renting the third floor attic of 991 Argyle Road. 

Some one told us to check the local freepapers in the neighborhood drugstore. We finally found an ad in the Christian Science Monitor. We had about ten days to  find a place.

When Jim called an elderly woman gave him directons and said she was at home morning. This time we had driven to NY in our car which made moving around the city- - - and we had our nine month old son, Jimmy with us. He was adorable but he was a child.
