301 Morris Avenue, The Burg.



301 Morris Avenue, The Burg.
Once this was Peter Bonanni & Sons Grocery Store:)
I walked by this as part of my first paper route
many times in the quiet of the morning many moons
ago:)

Hi Mack: Bonanni's is the only store my father would buy meat from. Libro Bonanni was one sharp butcher and store operator. He also had a frozen food business on Mifflin St., if I remember correctly. Sundays were the only time my father would cook and during the better days, he would grill steaks over our kitchen coal stove. For someone without a formal educatiion, he was very smart about many things. Merry Xmas.

It's me again Mack: I'm talking about the 30s and 40s. Libro, I believe, was one of the sons of Bonanni and sons. I may be wrong but I believe Libro took over and expanded the business to include the operation on Mifflin St. I say this because I recall my father telling us about how good Bonanni's was. Libro was a friend and visited us while we were in Florida. Merry Xmas.
