Mack: My neighbor had a shop in the burg, called Tommy's Barber Shop, his last name was Migliaccio, spelling may be off.
Arthur Calderone, shop on Liberty St was my brother-in-law Carmen Calderone's father..plus Carmen's uncle Carmen had/has a barber shop on Warren St with Joe Festa. And Frank Nemeth on Cass St.
My records are of course flawed
at times, but I have a Thomas Migliaccio when he was a Barber
at Vincent's Barber Shop. It has
an address 1068 Revere Avenue, dont know if thats his home or his
business. Vincent's Barber Shop in the Burg was 154 Washington Street
if its the same Vincent's.
I rememeber Arthur Calderone's
Barber Shop. The little grey building with a barber pole, near
Liberty and Chambers. Thats gone
now as they tore that and a bunch of rows down to build a CVS on that
corner. I remember the corner home
had a big yard with a little fence
This was 3 blocks from my house
long ago:)
Mack: That was his home address, we lived near by. I always called it Tommy's he was the only one there. Thanks.
Tommy was my barber and worked at Vince's Barber shop that was originally on Kent St.
Jimmy Szathmary gave me my first haircut across the street at 812 S. Clinton. I sat in the booster seat that bridged the arms of the barber chair. I loved the hydraulic lift and the sound as it went down.
Jimmy was a wonderful guy with a wonderful accent. ;-)

Sax...Joe Festa is still on Warren St. Has an ad in the paper a few times a week. Nice to know some things don't change.
Frank Majofsky of 1060 S Broad also hand made Violins, Fishing Poles and elaborate fishing Lures. My dad went to him until he retired, he then went to "Mad Dan" the Barber on Broad next door to the Widows Watch. Dad said he gave you a haircut in under 3 minutes...looked like it too.
Barb P..Joey always stood outside his barber shop on Warren in the Summer with his white barber coat open showing his body-builder chest. We were good friends, I helped him and his wife, Marie Barbero, move into their house in Ewing a long time ago.
Arthur Calderone originally had a shop on N Clinton up by the "stone bridge" and moved it to Liberty & Olden when he and his wife Angie moved to Lyndale Ave.
Sax...I think Joey removed all the buttons on his shirts after he bought them...and he never heard of a T-shirt. If you had it, flaunt it.
Barb P....if you ever "bump into" Joey, tell him Paulie (Nagy) says hello.
