Was there a Winnie's Tavern, across the street from the Prison on Federal Street?
Gene Gendek's Bridge Tavern was a great building on the Lamberton Street waterfront, just uphill from the Submarine Races. ;-)
SJBill,
I remember Gendek's, I knew his son from the Holy Cross area his name was Gene also,he was friends with Saxman's brother Lou. We played basketball at the Holy Cross lot.
Gene was a very good friend during the mid-60s. He had one of the nicest 55 Chevys I've ever seen/heard: dual quads, Hedman Hedders, Crane Cam, close ration four-speed, and just the right amount of customizing.
He served in the Coast Guard when I went into the Navy -- the last I've seen of him. I hear he's now living in the N.C area.
BTW, I used to play basketball in the Holy Cross lot (across the street from the Army-Navy store).
SJBill, we must have passed each other some where down the line. There was a few guys who played, my friend Lou Nagy, my cousin Tommy Lukowicz and a guy last name Kuzma. In fact my uncle Ed Orlowski coached the Holy Cross team, the high school age at the CYO Building on So. Broad.
I know this thread is old but I stumbled upon it while trying to do some reaearch about the Bridge Tavern. Maybe someone can help. My father-in-law, Stanley (one of Gene Gendek's sons) tells stories about growing up working in the tavern. Stanley's son, Jeff, and I bought Gene's house in Bordentown after he and his wife Stella passed. I wanted to try to find some photos of the tavern because i've been told there are none! I thought I would suprise Stanley with what I might find. Any help would be appreciated. I can be reached via email: onecozynest is the first part then the last part is verizon " dot" net. I dont want to write it out because thats how you get lots of spam emails.
