Writing this from Virginia…..In the mid-1950’s I had my tonsils removed there. I was probably around six years old. I recall, after the surgery, I was wheeled in to what appeared to a large sun porch with bright, airy, multi-paned windows. In retrospect it seems a very civilized way to recuperate.
The Horsfields settling mainly in Manhasset & Herricks. Unless you realized this already, Howard & Greg; I believe the property owned up until 1909 by “ I U Horsefield” in Herricks is in relation to Horsfield Family. To maintain access to I U Willets Rd from the Horsefield property, the LIMP organization built a overpass when developing the parkway. Bridge was known as the IU Willets or Horsefield overpass. Horsefield family then sold this property to the Cedar Heights Association, Refer to - www.vanderbiltcupraces.com
9 dollars for a cold cheeseburger the cheese wouldn't even melt. Imagine bringing one good food truck out. No sides for anything besides chips. If you want fireworks, uber here at 8:50.
