I remember me and my grandmother used to walk to a candy store, she lived on Liberty Street across from Sammy Risoldi's supermarket. Was Rosie's candy store on Washington Street on Chambers Street also?
Hi MaryAnn
My source is unclear on the Candy Store. It might have been on a
corner. Was Risoldis the Thiftway
with the tiny aisles ?
And Episcipos used to the Corner
Drug Store on Chambers & Liberty.
I think they are still there but not on the corner now:))
Sammy's Thriftway was on the corner of Woolsey Street and Liberty Street. My grandmother lived across the street. I really don't remember tiny aisles though. There also was a bakery we used to walk to on Liberty Street also down by Chambers Street. They had the best kreme donuts.
Sam the Barber was across from
the Thriftway. I delivered his
paper back in the day :)
Yes, I remember him, my grandmother used to get her haircut there. Did you deliver the paper to the Mituri's (1420 Liberty) or the Abatto's?
My paperboy days were 1974-1978.
The Liberty St Route was my 2nd
one 76-78. I don't remember if I
delivered to those houses but its
quite possible:)
The Hometown Bakery 1327 Liberty
St?
I have stuff on those folks:
1420 Liberty Street
Mrs Mary Mituri
Mrs Ella Poinsett
1418 Liberty Street
Mr Frank Abatto
Love those big porches !!! :))
Thanks Mike,
Mrs. Mary Mituri was my grandmother.
I worked at Campi's. 1981-82. Lived on Revere and Morris. Lottery and cold cuts!
Wow thats a pretty straight
walk..Morris to Chestnut to Cummings to Campis..passing the
back of Wetzel Feild and Rossi's
along the way:)
My Sister lived like 1 block
from there at one time in the middle 1980s. She was on Liberty
across from the WaWa:)
Mike
Wow, who is anonymous?? I lived on the corner of Revere and Morris from 1978 to 1991...
Does anyone remember Joe Latini's on Emory Ave. He had the best home made sausage.
Does anyone remember the store that was on the corner of Chestnut and Kent before it was Trenton Joe's.
B
B....it was Kewpie's. Great pin-ball machines....great jukebox.
Hungout there and across the street at Hamilton's Tomatoe Pie...remember then??
Saxman,
I don't think it was Kewpies.
Kewpies was across the street from Washington School, on Chestnut Ave. I remember going there with my Aunt when I was a kid to get ice cream. My aunt lived around the corner on Emory Ave., next door to relatives of the guy that owned it.
B
Hey B....yes, you are right about being across from Washington School....I remember it in both places I think owned by the same guy...spent a whole lot of money on the pinball machine and jukebox in there.
Does any remember the milk deliveries to the house. We also had an egg man and how about the Charles Chip guy. I think our family sent him on many vacations. Nothing like those chips. My mom even had a guy that delivered pies, I don't how she found these people.
SC
B.......I still have a Charlie Chip can outside in my garage...it is the yellow one...
corner of chesnut and kent was i belive pats. had a juke box maybe three pinball machines, a lunch counter, and a counter where he sold cigs, candy etc. was a hang out for the trenton catholic boys, and the young ones from immaculate after the high school guys went downtown to visit with the young ladies from cathedral..he would sell one cigarette at a time for pennies....
I could be mistaken but I think the pinball joint at Kent and Chestnut may have been called Duke's.
Also got many a haircut from Sam the barber for 25 cents. Was at corner of Columbus and Liberty. Just a few houses down was Villa Park Dairy.
Regaring the pinball joint at Kent & Chestnut:
The place has had many incarnations. I remember as a kid that it was called Pete's. About 1960 or so.
The guy, I guess it was Pete, would pay out small sums to the high scorer on this one pinball machine for the week. It had holes where the balls would drop and you tried by humping the , machine oh-so carefully to make the balls fall into three-in-row holes. I remember winning one time, and being paid off. I'm still amazed. I cannot have been more than 11 years old at the time.
