An Onion for Walter Winchell

Today, a look back to the spring of 1935 when Walter Winchell, famed newspaper columnist and radio broadcaster, ran an item about Tudor City's parks:

. . . Scallions to the Tudor Park sign; "No Children, Only Adults Admitted!". . .

Winchell continued to run assorted Tudor City items over the years, see earlier posts herehere and here.
