General Hospital




Laura warned Amy not to get interested in Luke. Joe, Jeff and Steve headed for Mexico where Cal is hospitalized. Mitch told Tracy he couldn't live with her since the mob might hound him about Ted's death. Tracy spotted Mitch coming on to Susan. Amy blabbed to Scotty that Laura got a job at the disco. Alan found Amy admiring his house, then consoled her after learning her father had died. Monica and her unborn baby's condition improved. Dorrie told Howard it is over between them and packed her bags. Lesley investigated whether Mrs. Kakorian had a history of heart trouble.  Cal died but not before he told Jeff that Heather knows the truth about Steven Lars. Mrs. Grant realized the game was up and beat around the bush to Peter about knowing of an illegal adoption. It finally dawned on him that she was trying to explain that P.J. is actually Steven Lars. Anne won temporary custody of Jeremy who suggested she marry Jeff. She vetoed the idea although she's been drawn closer to Jeff. Luke comforted Laura about her stepfather's death. Laura and Scotty argued about her job schedule. Bobbie avoided one of her ex-johns who's a patient. Monica returned to Alan, although the baby may have heart problems.  Peter had a coronary after Mrs. Grant revealed the P.J. / Steven Lars story. Bobbie and Roy were upset when Barry Johnson recognized her in the hospital. Lesley’s reports on Mrs. Kirkorian’s previous ailment couldn’t be proved. Rick and Monica were forced to confide to Howard about their night together after Mrs. Kirkorian’s surgery. Luke and Roy worried they’d have to eliminate Mitch to prove their mob royalty. Joe admitted his love for Anne, who asked they remained friends. Joe is jealous of Anne’s attentions to Jeff. Mitch and Tracy set their wedding date after the election. Peter called Jeff to Peter’s deathbed for the big confession.  Dorrie returned to England. Bobbie told Jessie she had once been a hooker. Peter died before he could tell Jeff about P.J / Steven Lars but he left Diana a mysterious letter. Kirkorian refused the hospital’s settlement so Rick and Monica prepared for a court battle.

Laura’s new friend, Claudia Johnson, warned Laura that Luke’s hung up on her while Luke fantasized that Laura loved him.  Alice blamed herself for Peter's death because she told him about P.J.-Stephen Lars. Diana made quick plans to take P.J. to visit her mother in Florida, keeping Peter’s note a secret. Bobbie is sure that Roy wouldn’t marry her if he knew she’d been a prostitute. Luke lent Laura money to pay for Scotty’s law books so Scotty wouldn’t know she used a credit card.

Palmer gifted Donna with a new wardrobe and told Chuck she didn't want reconciliation. Anne stuck up for Paul when his opponent published rumors of Paul's affair with Ellen.

Jenny got her annulment. Katrina feared that Marcello would learn of her checkered past now that he's working at the health club. Dorian let Herb know she's attracted to him physically. Katrina consoled Ed who misses Karen's presence at Ina's. Edwina’s wedding was called off when Mario admitted he was Marco. Everyone, especially Larry, got on Karen’s case for keeping Mario’s identity a secret all these months. Marco was jailed but Asa took an interest in Marco’s abilities. Jenny told Peter she’s going to Haiti for a divorce. Dorian seduced Herb when he asked for a campaign contribution. Mimi told Asa that he talked about Nicole in his sleep. Bo bought Pat a carload of Parisian couture clothing. Larry couldn’t decide whether to forgive Karen, who packed her bags. Marcello questioned Katrina’s connection to Marco. Peter warned Karen the baby-switching might come to light if Marco goes to trial. Larry advised Viki to go after Ted and a new life. Ted convinced Dorian to get out of town after she received threatening letters. She went to Paris to keep Bo and Pat apart for Asa's sake, but Bo had already proposed to Pat. Asa bailed out Marco and hired him. Becky angered Asa by making demands about the album she's doing with Johnny. Karen returned to Ina's. Marcello and Katrina argued over Marco. Chuck told Asa that he couldn't handle the Nicole situation alone. Brad insisted he'd never allow Peter to raise Mary after Brad felt he didn't get a fair custody deal. Pat and Bo argued, broke their engagement, and he split. Herb joined Dorian in Paris and hopped into her bed. Jenny went to Peter's bed. Someone stole Dorian's fake Buddha. Tina turned a cold shoulder to Mick, who confronted Samantha who insisted they're finished. Asa ordered Chuck to see that their Parisian man 'take care' of Nicole. But the jerk almost ran down Pat, thinking she was Nicole. Brad told Jenny there would be no divorce unless he had liberal visitation rights to Mary. Samantha insisted to Will that she respects Asa and vice versa. Mimi had warned Will that Asa isn't the marrying kind. Tina searched Ted's checkbooks. Herb cried the blues when Gretel left town after learning he'd shacked up with Dorian. Asa walloped Mike, preventing him from raping Samantha, who kissed Asa in gratitude.

The 10-mile Walk around the Upper West Side










QuestionWhere exactly is Ryan's Bar?
















Answer:  Located in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan at  701 W. 168th Street. This is the corner of Fort Washington and 168th. This location is not near The Upper West Side. It's above Harlem, above Yankee Stadium. Washington Heights/Hudson Heights is a not-too-terrible neighborhood (not the best). But definitely ----not the Upper West Side. Why locate Ryan's Bar in such a sketchy (in the 70s and somewhat today) neighborhood? Washington/Hudson Heights is where all the Hospitals are, and Ryan's Bar is constantly being referred to as right across the street from Riverside Hospital  aka Columbia U/NY Presbytarian Medical Center. 





















Anyway.......back to the Upper West Side, where (in 1979) it was safe to take an all-night stroll (not today---in any area of Manhattan)


Adam and Nancy, The Fabulous Sept 4 Episode


So, according to Adam Cohen, it's 3 miles from Grant's Tomb (The exact place he fell in love with Nancy) all the way to Greenbergs Deli:


















Nancy and Adam walked a full 10-mile circle, she says (he says it was an oval) ---around Central Park.














At the Central Park Reservoir, she agreed to go to the Concert with him.



















The actual concert is in the Sept 7 Episode.



  


























The Discussion about the 10-mile walk is in the September 4th episode:
