A Shoutout to Al Bucci's Son

Al Bucci's Son made a comment about Al's Luncheonette which I
had mislabed. He wrote:

As Al's son and worked many years I have to tell you.
This is not a photo of our place. It was always named
Al's Sandwich Shop (Not sanwich bar) You have the address
correct but not the photo.

The address I had on it was 565 Lamberton Street, South Trenton.
The corner of Lamberton Street and Federal Street.
The name came from my city directory.

I have corrected the item and reverted it back to "Where is this?"
and the story of Al's Luncheonette remains a mystery.

Now back to Al's Sandwich Shop and the Bucci Family..

I currently do not have a picture of 565 Lamberton Street..

Please tell us about Al's Sandwich Shop Mr Bucci!
What kind of sandwiches did you make? How long was the
store run by your family? Was your Dad from Italy? Did
he work at Roebling or another place before owning the store?
Its a small world and my Mom's family lived only a few
blocks from this...do the names Albert or Pat (Patricia) or
Urban "Sonny" or Julianne (My Mom), Mary or Urban
Zorichak ring a bell?

Was Kramer's Bakery near there.. They had the best bagels, hard rolls and rye bread I've ever tasted to this day.
