Dear Members,

Our friend and historian Nick Finelli, 43 Pct, (center) is currently undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer.

The treatment can be extremely traumatic and significantly impact one's quality of life.

Nick, each year, for the past 4 years has volunteered to dress in the Metropolitan Municipal Police uniform for our annual Police Arlington remembrance ceremony and Draft Riot ceremony at Federal Hall.

Although Nick has his special supportive family & personal friends, I'm sure an email from members of TSBA or people known to Nick would be more than welcome. The healing process is very tough, but receiving well wishes and prayers will go a long way toward accelerating the healing process.

If you would like to send Nick your Well Wishes you can do it through the Trafficsquad@aol.com.

Thank you,

John Valles,
President, TSBA

This photo was taken on the northwest corner of 31st Street, looking south, on March 22,1911. The Mahler Brothers Department Store, of which there is little information to be found, occupied the southwest corner and appears to have been a large store. At the time this area of Manhattan was the center for department store with both Gimbels and Macys located within a few blocks. The construction was for the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (now the PATH) tunnel.
