419 Hudson Street, The Burg.
419 Hudson Street, The Burg. The Hudson Beer Garden in the 1970s Always referred to as "The Hudson" in my Burg Day.
It's me again Mack: Once again you're showing where I was born, right across the street on Mott St. I'll never forget Mr. Chiaccio at Hudson Beer Garden. He tended bar most of th day and could barely see his hand in front of him. His problem was seeing what denomiation the bills were. Tommy and his brother Snake helped out a lot along with their sister Rose in the kitchen. It was one of the better known beer gardens in the Burg. Best regards.
Brando, et. al. How many guys that read this website had a paper route in the Burg? Pretty sure Mack did. I was one as well. Butler St was the center of my route. I picked up the stack of Trentonians every morning in front of the Mazilli Market.
Paper Route 1 was parts of Morris Avenue & Ashmore Avenue.
Paper Route 2 was Liberty Street in Villa Park and Hamilton.

It was only yesterday..no it was like 35 years ago I had the big orange Trentonian Bag and Punchcards and grabbed the paper bundle in front of the house and opened the metal string around them and folded them, put em in the bag..and got on my bike or walked the route:)
