A story of neighborhood heroism, 1960 edition



Anyone remember Pauline's bar and grill on First Avenue near East Seventh Street?

Thanks to EVG Twitter friend @RTSNYC for this find from The New York Times on June 7, 1960.

  3. and 12 years later for the 1972 edition 2 rookie cops get shot dead for no reason...then then 54 years later for the 2014 edition a 68 year old man gets beaten to death, again for no reason.

    It's probably not the first time someone's life was saved by beer.
