139 Genesee Street, The Burg



139 Genesee Street, The Burg.
Once upon a time this was Wilson's Cafe:)
UPDATE: This was also Anna Yurcho's Tavern
before that in the 1950s.

I sat on the bar in this place when maybe 1 - 2 years old, watching some silent "little Rascals" films wih my Dad. I forget the owner's name back then. It was the episode in which Pete the dog was being gassed by the dog catcher. ;-)

A couple doors down Genesee St. live Maj. John M. Buffin, the head of the NJ State Police. He had a gorgeous daughter named Joan.

Next door to them lived Frank Papp, a Harrison School classmate.

Yurcho's! Yes it was. And way back when it may have been Sabo's. Not sure, though.
