Parkerfest 1999 Photos

MEETING THE OWNER One of the highlights of Parkerfest was meeting Mr. John Wu, owner of Original Shoes at 214 W. 72nd Street. This is the spot where Dorothy Rothschild lived as a little girl, and was the first stop on the walking tour. Mr. Wu came out and saw the crowd gathered in front of his shop. He then gave everyone $10 coupons for shoes! He also said he wants to put a plaque on the wall noting the history here. How cool.
