There was a time when going up to the rooftop of your apartment building, in the summer, was a great ides. Where else in the city can a person find a little privacy to do some sun bathing. Especially in early spring before the tar roofs got too hot to rest on, even with a towel.

Here is a pin-up photo from times long ago, when helicopters were few and a girl could catch some rays without being disturbed.
