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.

Best paying customer Creccos.

Door..1721 Liberty Street:)

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:)

route #1 - hudson, mott, and clinton. some houses on clark and butler.

then picked up another one...

route #2 - fulton, beatty, emory, and roebling ave

two routes at one time!

i deliverd #2 first since it was closer to my house (near hudson and emory)

furthest distance between customers...beatty (between fulton and whittaker) and clinton near hamilton (about 12 blocks apart)

most inconvienent delivery...clark st (near elmer)

i delivered about 100 papers before going to school Jr#4 and TCHS

i don't think ANY kids deliver papers now...what's up with that???
