I think in this view the Ac-a-me was past the cemttery on the right. Just betound the back side of the Ac-a-me was this hole-in-the-wall place that made incredible ITalian sausage in the back room. He used to stuff casings right there in front of you. The sausage was coiled and wrapped in butcher paper.
"How much you want? How you want it?"
"Hey, give me about three feet! Lotsa spice, and plenty of anise seeds."
None better! ;-)
On the corner of Franklin & Roebling..the other side of the cemetary..was DeGeorge's the "place" for "Burg people to hang-out for a time in the 60's.
St. Francis Cemetery. I suspect it had a connection to St. Francis Church once located on Front Street. Walked past this cemetery hundreds of times on way to and from school. Even entered the grounds a number of times. Remember that there was a small mausoleum with a a red light in the center of the cemetery. Always thought that it was odd to have a cemetery across the street from the Acme parking lot.
SJBill, was that Minuti's? One of the few sausages that had plenty of anise seeds, gave it a great taste...no more, it all tastes the same. Used to double dog dare each other to walk thru the cemetary at night. Only if the Ac-a-me was open to light part of the way.
OMG, this cemetary use to scare the hell out of me. Someone was always daring you to jump the fence. Just past the Acme was a little deli that we always called Joe's in the Alley.
The alley joined Emory and Roebling Ave. Before the Acme was built, there was a school there. Can't remember the name, it was closed for years then Acme purchased the land around 1960.
