Guest Guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 That building had three stores - left to right as you face them - Ben Franklin, Mandee, A&P (remember Junior?). A little further north (left) was John's Bargain Store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little further north (left) was John's Bargain Store. Junior? Do you mean Hector Kabajea. His first name may have been Victor and the spelling of his last name is a phoneitic guess but I remember him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest insider Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 WHY??? Because of all the illegal basement apartments that are now in this once beautiful town. God help us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Radagast Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 The store on the 'other side' was ACME. They closed in the late '50s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Radagast Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 If there is anyone here more ancient than me, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Ben Franklin's a Sears store once? I remember there was a butcher shop or something across the street that had a horrible fire in the 50's. That is where the parking lot is now.

Guest Guest 99 Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 The store on the 'other side' was ACME. They closed in the late '50s Until you said Acme, I could have sworn it was Safeway. Ah, the cells are aleavin' one by one. Now, I know the movie theater across from the town hall that burned down around '54-'56 was the Regent, but what was the name of the one across from the Kearny Avenue entrance to West Hudson Park??

That is where the parking lot is now. I don't know about a Sears, but I do remember a diner across from the A&P. Maybe thats where the fire was?? There was also a butcher shop with REAL sawdust on the floor a door or two north of the Acme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Radagast Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 The butcher up the street was John's. Old Italian guy. Made his own sausage. I think he was one of the last real 'butchers' on Kearny Ave. Do you remember how good the crullers were from Moritz Bakery? I remember that whole strip like it was yesterday. The only businesses left from the old days are Stewart's and Tietgen's. Do you remember when it was just a small store? John Sr. had a German accent and they made some of the best potato salad I've ever had. Malley's Fish store was next to it before the fire. Then Tietgen's rebuilt and expanded to it's present size. Of course, Chicken Galore came in the 60's. It was 'Chicken Delight' back then. Up a bit was 'Teddy's' candy, newspapers etc. The same Teddy who own's Teddy's Coctail Lounge. But I digress....

I always felt bad for him but his various handicaps never slowed him down and he always seemed content. He was a real inspiration if you ever started to feel sorry for yourself. A real trooper.

I had to think about it for a sec, but yes I do remember him. He was always willing to help everyone and would have given you the shirt off his back if you had asked him for it.

But, what stores were on either side of the A&P??? I sort of remember an electronic or appliance store, or is that what replaced the old A & P...Anyone else remember that one?

Jim Mangin Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 The electronics store was Parts Unlimited. They moved in after A&P closed. Before there they were located at the corner of Kearny Ave and Quincy, where La Siena is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Mangin Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 On the southside of the A&P was Karen's (lady's clothing store) I believe. Karen's Kloset was owned by Karen Yagiello. I remember boxing at PBC with her brother Stanley when we were kids. JIm Mangin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Mangin Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 How about Franks restaurant. Do you remember where that was? Frank's was on Kearny Avenue, just south of Midland Avenue, next to the Royal Meat Market. It was owned by Frank Ianello and his son Donald used to bus tables. I delivered the newspaper there about a thousand years ago. Jim Mangin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
