  1. When Harrison was a great place to live!

    in Harrison

    Posted

    I moved off of Grant Avenue in July 76.... how ironic!  I also remember the Candy store at Cross & 5th.  If you went to Lincoln School then that was the store.  Also I can remember the fish market up the street passed the candy store.  That was the candy store that everyone went to after school or at lunch time.  I can remember getting Green Apple bubble gum there.

    Man, this topic makes me feel old.... I went to Lincoln too, also lived close to the school after moving from Grant. I spent alot of time in John's.

    I had a great time living on Grant ave, I was young but it had everything a kid could ask for, corner store, huge lot to play in at the end of Grant and lots of other kids to play with. Remember the ramp to get on 280 was at the end of Grant...

    By the way the Fish Market was Quincy's...

    Ok I found this web site and these are the things I remember from living in Harrison until I was 11...I left in 1976.

    Franks "underground" candy store

    Warner Theater

    Walking from Grant Avenue all the way to Lincoln Elementary

    Going to Charlie's on Grant Ave. to get sliced meat for sandwhiches and he also wrote the prices on the bag

    The IceCream/Soda Shop on Harrison Ave right by Holy Cross

    Studio N on I think Frank Rogers Boulevard now?(who all took tap lessons from Johnny?)

    Dominics in East Newark (Central Ave)

    Pecters Jelly Doughnuts (yum)!

    and going to Shop Rite in Kearny at 7:00am on Saturday morning to wash clothes at the landromat and go grocery shopping after!

    ** I went to Manhattan and stayed a week in 2004 and drove my parents and myself over to Harrison....my how it has changed!  Some places are there and alot is gone or changed over to different things.  We also drove up River Road and went to the North Arlington Diner-still great food!  Of course downtown Newark (yes where our folks went to work in the late 60s and early 70s) has become a bombed out no mans zone...We drove over and drove right back....Saw the old Haines store is gone on Broad.

    Thanks for all the memories folks!  I sure miss them!

    Wow...Charlies on Grant & Reynolds brings back alot of memories, I moved from Grant in the mid 70's. There was also John's Candy Store on the corner of 5th & Cross Street; I think that was the name anyway.

    Anyone playing in the little league in the early 80's had to remember the "Dairy Delight" across the street....
