Trump was just learning how to mis-count at that time.

What a great photo! I live two blocks from there and loved reminiscing what it must have been like in those days. I wasn’t born yet but loved seeing how great our neighborhood already was promoting the arts! Happy 60th! We will be there on May 4th!
