i had written this article for the Manhattan Valley; and wanted to add more about the Elevator Trains, and other interesting aspects of Manhattan Valley. But an editor moved Lion Brewer to a separate page with the paren (U.S.). But Lion Brewery was a world famous New York Brewery, so i redirected the page to Lion Brewery New York. Hey look, i am just an amateur, new to this game. joe 02:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright issues

I have permission from the owner to ue his rusty beer cans. SEE BELOW Joe, no problem. I was in that part of New York City in 05 and walked over to where it used to stand. I have some more to scan in for that brewery, but nothing exciting for a Wikipedia page. Mark josephbrophy wrote: > Mark;> > Thanks for your cooperation.

Commentary about former location

An IP editor added the following commentary to the article in 2020.

The end of the next to last paragraph of your piece about the Lion Brewery indicates its area is now covered with apartment houses (Today, apartment houses occupy the Lion brewery's former location.)

This is not entirely true. Booker T Washington Junior High School is located between 108th and 107th streets on the Columbus Avenue end of the property. I knew some kids who went to the school, remember when it was being built, played handball in its yard, and messed up my left wrist when I fell chasing a grounder in a softball game on its hardtop almost 60 years ago. I also remember, somewhat more vaguely, the Caterpillar Ride of the annual carnival that used to set up on the grounds before the school was built. Sorry, no recollection of the brewery itself.

This is not a big deal but, a lot of kids went to Booker T over the years and might like to see it mentioned. If you look at a Maps application, you can verify this.

Your sentence could read: Today, blocks of apartment houses, small businesses, and Booker T Washington Junior High School occupy the Lion brewery's former location.

I have removed the commentary from the article, but made the suggested edit. --Macrakis (talk) 00:56, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
