Mack: The other Security National Bank was in my old neighborhood at the corner of Olden and Brunswick Ave. I believe its still there.
Hi Joe:)
Yes and like many bank buildings its been a zillion banks over the years...and always pretty Polish girls at that intersection .even to this day:)
Back in the 50's I believe Joe Saks was the owner of the Tremont Lounge on State St. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate confirmation.
Mack, Humphries was always called "the working mans's store". There was also May's Department Store on my block (1000 block) and Weinbergs on Broad and Beatty. Didn't even have to go into town to shop. It's a shame we couldn't pass this on to our kids.
