Description	View at the intersection of Southern Blvd. & East 180th St. Crotona Parkway is on the left and Southern Boulevard is shown on the right of the street median. Traffic ran in both directions on these roadways and a trolley car is on the right. On the left is one of the R. Santini Co. (moving and storage) offices. The store around the corner has a sign in Hebrew, a reminder that this neighborhood had a large Jewish population. Dr. Jehiel Kling and his wife poet Berthe Kling had a large apartment nearby that they opened, on weekends and holidays, to Yiddish writers. In this sort of literary salon, the writers enjoyed a buffet meal and presented their work. Another group met more informally on a rock outcropping at the north end of Crotona Park. Among the Yiddish writers in the area during this period were Anna Margolin, Aaron Glanz-Leyeles and Joseph Rolnick. Their work, written in the early decades of the 20th century, was later translated from Yiddith into English.
