Ridgewood Ave. Special This special comes courtesy of Therese Panariello, who submitted a bunch of photos of her block between Shepherd and Highland Place. I have augmented these shots with some Anniversary Parade shots, some of which exist on the Parades page and some of which are new.
		177 Ridgewood Ave. We're starting with two shots of Therese's house from the early 70s. The house sits on the north side of the block.
		Ridgewood Ave. Next, we have two views from the front of her house probably around 1970. The first is west towards Shepherd, and the second is east towards Highland Place.
		Ridgewood Ave.2007 A couple of 2007 update shots for comparison of 177 Ridgewood and the view east towards Highland Place.
		Anniversary Parades These two shots come from my Brooklyn Anniversary Parade collection. On the left, from 1966 is a view east down Therese's block towards Highland Place. At this time the house is reddish brown with a red and white striped awning. Therese identified her mother, grandmother and aunt watching the parade. The parade doubled back from Richmond Ave. which is why the marchers are passing each other. On the far right with backs to the camera are my aunt and my mother pushing the carraige. The shot on the right is from 1967 and is already on the Parades page; it is the opposite view west towards Shepherd.
		Therese had parade pictures as well, these are probably circa 1970. These two shots are looking west back towards Shepherd.
		Additional parade pics from Therese, these are looking almost directly across from 177 Ridgewood.
		Since I do not have any update photos yet I have grabbed Local Live aerial images of the north side of the block on the left and the south side of the block on the right.
		Views east; a 1966 communion photo and a 1975 shot of her father off the corner of Highland Place.
		Moving east, these 1967 parade shots show the north side of Ridgewood Ave. between Highland Place and Hale and the south side pictured on the right.
		Continuing east, these 1966 parade shots show the north side of Ridgewood Ave where Force Tube crosses over and intersects Norwood Ave.
		We will actually finish this series with a question. On the left is a shot of the 1967 Parade. We know "Southwestern Arms" sat on the northeast corner of Logan and Ridgewood. The brownstones in the distance line the north side of Ridgewood up to Richmond Street. On the right, that 1966 parade picture was identified as being near Hale, but I think it is actually the north side of Ridgewood west of Richmond St. Anybody recognize it for sure? Wes Miller has now identified the view as looking east off the corner of Norwood and Ridgewood.
