Northeast Airport

I have found some photos taken by Bulletin photographers and are from Temple University Digital Collection. I have enhanced and colorized them as I do with every photo in my Philly Tales Album. I have over 1340 images now. If you want to see them, go to my website, and there is a link to the album. https://mercyrow.com/pages/philly-tales-photos

Northeast Airport was a location I passed probably thousands of times. Up the boulevard, I would travel to visit my family, who had moved to Parkwood. Once I saw the airport and smelled the cookies from the Nabisco building, I knew I was close. The same was true when I was a preteen when I visited my aunt, uncle, and cousins at the Northeast Village. The airport was so engrained in my memory that I used it as an essential location in my third and fourth novels.

In the late 1970s, I remember going to a restaurant at the Airport. Does anyone remember its name? Also, please share any Northeast Airport experiences you have.

Here are the photos I found.
