Now N Then

I dated a girl who lived in this house. She wasn’t grandma Betty then but she is now. House looks the same.

Not far from this house is the house below on Mulbury Street. Bob Keeshan, the original Captain Kangaroo lived here. Bob was a graduate of Fordham, a marine(no he did not fight on Iwo Jima with Lee Marvin) and the original Clarabell the Clown on the Howdy Doody Show.The Captain Kangaroo show ran from 1955 to 1984.
