The Perry's are in South Buffalo, not the East Side. Off Louisiana St. Near South Park Ave. And Yep, Ghetto as ever. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ; [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2008 11:19 PM Subject: Re: [NYERIE] Moses Taylor Hospital in Buffalo or Lackawanna - 1920 Hi Val - I believe the Perry Projects are still around. They're on the east side and not very pretty anymore, run down and not kept up. I could be wrong though because I don't live in Buffalo anymore. Perhaps someone on this site who lives in Buffalo can give you more information. Diane **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.

Yes, Perry Projects are in South Buffalo. They originally were built for the WWII families. I was born in one of the apartments about a year after my father came home from the Army. The projects got really bad when some of them were torn down. The remaining ones were renovated but the newly fixed up apartments didn't last long. Extremely Ghetto now. Friends of ours who live in Buffalo/Lackawanna area decided to go for a ride in the Perry Projects area to reminisce where he grew up. A police car pulled him over, asked who he was, then asked if he lived there. Paul explained what he was doing, the police escorted them out of the area and told him, politely, that if he doesn't live there, he doesn't belong there and never decide to reminisce again in that area. This happened in the early afternoon. That's how bad it is. Also, my grandfather was electrocuted while working at Bethlehem in 1928 where he working as an electrician. He was hit with 440 bolts. As you can figure he died on the spot. His death certificate doesn't say where he was taken other then "place of death Bethlehem Steel Plant". I found nothing in the newspaper other then the normal death notice. One day soon I will go to the museum to see if anything is there about it. I, always, assumed he was taken to OLV because living in the area all my life, we always understood that OLV was first built as a hospital intended for the steel workers because there was so many. I've never heard of Moses Taylor Hospital. Perhaps we were mislead all these years and people knowing there was a hospital for steel workers assumed it was OLV. I will stop in at the museum to check it out. I found this subject very interesting. At 11:51 PM 5/1/2008 -0400, you wrote: >The Perry's are in South Buffalo, not the East Side.
