Tony the Tour Guy's Mostly 1970s NYC History Blog

Welcome to Tony the Tour Guy's blog! Here we feature Tony's rants about various topics in New York City history, with particular emphasis upon that typically unappreciated decade, the Seventies. For our purposes, the era began roughly at the time when Jimi Hendrix died (9/18/70) and ended with the presidency of Ronald Reagan and the freedom of the Iran hostages (1/20/81). We cover everything from Pet Rocks to the Moonies to Checker Taxicabs here, and welcome your participation.

Black Squirrels in the Bronx

Took these pictures yesterday in Eastchester Heights, Bronx. Actually, I've spotted black squirrels in several areas about town, including Sunnyside and the Bronx Botanical Garden. These beauties are the same species as their gray and brown friends; they're all Eastern Gray Squirrels. It's just a genetic variation that gives them their coloring.
