Remember the night of the Dinger Brothers Fire, we thought our car's parked in thw driveway were toast. Bill Barber
Hi Bill:)
I remember that day.
I was on the riverfront where the
old abandoned US Steel Plant was.
There was an old black man who caught fish in the river and sold them from his truck, he was fishing
and relaxing. The river was low so
we walked under the Trenton Makes
bridge. Why? Because we could:)
I think it was late afternoon when
we began to see the smoke cloud.
As I was walking home trying to
guess where the fire was I turned
onto Liberty Street from Woodland
Street and saw it was Dinger Brothers on fire. I was worried
for all the folks on the block
including your family and mine. The fire did melt the siding of a home or 2 and Dinger Brothers paid to fix that. I remember afterward
Dinger Brothers had something folks
signed in Liberty Deli that allowed
them to rebuild. My guess was they
had grandfathered zoning and could
continue to operate if the neighbors said it wasnt a problem.
Speaking of Neighbors, who might
we meet in the neighborhood long
ago? Mary & Ernie Pabers, The Kimbles (Johnny & Jill), The Noto's (Benny & Claire), The Allens (Richard, Donna, Terry, John),
The Mahers (Dan & Patricia), Carol & Harry Merrion,
Pat Pratico, Red Moran, The Wenzels, Joe Antinoro, Mrs Molnar.
The Lucari's (Dawn Dave Gus).
A few last names I have forgotten:
Kelly & Lori from Hewitt Street
(ands their Mom Charlotte).
Andy who had Liberty Deli for a bit. Aunt Florence (who lived in between us), Don & Ann (?) Who also
lived inbetween us.
Wow, thats a walk down memory
lane:)
Don and Ann Farfella, she had MS and when they had the baby she was quite sick, they moved to Hamilton afer we left in 1980
Thank you for Don & Ann's
last name:)
