The Blue store in this image was once The Broadway Record
Center. I bought many records here long ago.
Remember Chester gave you a card when you bought a
record and if you got it punched 10 times you got a free
record. This is the 800 Block of South Broad Street.
Groovy:)
UPDATE: Barbara says don't forget Blanks Pharmacy.
UPDATE 2: Sax says Stanleys Appliances there too.

OK I will add that to the post:)
Corner of Broad and Beatty....
Stanley's Appliance down from the record shop..mostly on Cass St...the corner was a men's store..I think it was Frizzels and across the street was Weinberg's department store and on the other corners...Sanders and Hub Liquor.
Spent many, many nights hanging out on Sanders corner...
That was one corner in those days.
I remember Sanders. Sometimes my sister and I and our friends would go there on Sun. morning instead of mass. My parents would have killed us if they found out.

That's were I was with my friends on most Sunday mornings, too. Used the offering money my mom gave me to buy a coke, coffee or whatever.
And here is a bad one..probably goin' to Hell for this...on Ash Wednesday..we went to Sanders and hungout..used the ashes from the ash trays to mark our foreheads to prove we went to church!
Stanleys appliance ?Yes
I remember that. I will add that to the post too:)
I think Stanley Appliances
had multi-color lettering sign.
I am seeing that in my.
and the letters were within
diamond shaped drawings one
after another.
Mack...that's right. Stanley was a family friend. I bought my first appliances from him after my first marriage at 20 years of age! Did you know that they moved the business down South Broad St..the block after The White Horse Market..next to a gas station.
I remember the Red Carpet was
on Cass. Also on Cass was
that big red old factory
building near the railroad tracks.
My sister had a friend on Cass
last name Petroni (?)
I remember an appliance store
near the gas station on broad
I think 2 blocks from our old
office.
The gas station on Harding and Broad across from 1072, was owned by Gunny in the day and all the "carburators" would hang out with the '57's or the Harleys. Later it was Bob Cottrell. one of 7 brothers who all owned gas stations around Trenton and Hamilton. I used to make money pumping gas for him or stealing car parts from parking lots and selling them to Luckey's Auto Body around the block on Anderson. Needed the money for Broad Theater or Sanders
Saxman,
Of course we had to use the money for the offering for the coffee and whatever. Yes, we might go to hell for that, but I think God forgives us. I sure hope he does.
SC
Hey B...I think I used my money once to buy you, or was it Roe, a cup of coffee :):)
Well, if that's true, that was real nice of you, I just hope the guy upstairs thought so, for your sake. LOL

Correction...not Stanley's Appliance, but Pacific Appliance..that Stanley owned!
Also, the men's store on the corner of Beatty and Broad was the Eaton Shop. There was a tire place right next to the RKO Broad..Tirrel's Tire?...and a little soda shop next to them.
Across from the movie was a little joing sold papers/tobacco products and a whole lot of betting on whatever..it was owned by one of the Radice brothers..don't remember his name..had an apt above it where I lived with my first wife for awhile.
Can't remember the name of the tire store across from the Broad Theater, but it had the biggest tire I ever saw out front. Radices hole-in-the wall had 4 seats and a pinball machine. What was the name of that little restaurant that the cabbies used to sit in front of to get calls, it was next to Sanders can't remember the name.
Mack, there was a department store on my 1072 block of Broad by Dorko Florist, was it Mays Department Store? And down from Marshes Hobby Shop, was Korona Furs, Al died in Vietnam and then the Appliance Store.
No Department stores listed
there. My records not always
correct but are most of the time.
It was the 3rd building from the Division St corner. I know it was there 'cause I bought my mother a bottle of "Evening in Paris" for Christmas. I must have been 7-8 years old, 1955-56. Next door was a Surgical Supply place and then Dorko Florist. Anybody remember this store?
Broad Street in the middle 50s:
1038 Eagle Cleaners
1039 Koenig Appliances
1043 Carpet Fair
1048 Maes Dress Shop
1049 Albert Korona Furs
1051 Mailyn Shop
1052 Dorko Flower Shop
1055 Curley Adjustment Bur (?)
1060 Franks Sporting Goods
The tire company was right next to the RKO Broad then came the soda shop.."Chris's" I believe...I think Blumenthal's Bakery was next and then the doorway, with a lttle stoop, up to the apartment above Sanders where the family lived..I sat on that stoop many, many nights hangin' out on the corner.
