Maury Robinson, Hamilton Avenue, 1970s, The Burg
Maury Robinson, Hamilton Avenue, 1970s, The Burg
It looked just like this in my Burg era too. A place to get
nice suits and things. Loved this area especially in the
Christmas seasons of long ago. Thank you for this nice
picture Tom Tighue and God Bless The Old Burg :)

If I'm not mistaken, I think Maury Robinson was still on South Broad St in 1963. He moved his store to Hamilton Ave in early 1970.
Would you be he Dan Granaldli that lived at 26 Mott St?

Hi Dan & Joe:)
Thank for the correction. Its a great pic from Tom, perhaps his year was a typo on the pic if they were not there til 1970 :))
JoeyB, That was my Father Dan Sr. The entire Granaldi Family lived on Mott ST.
Dan:
I remember the family well. Your Dad worked for the Trenton Times, they went on strike and he help start the Trentonian and worked there many years. Your Aunt Ann, just pass recently was a good friend of my Aunt Rae Battiste who lived at 30 Mott St. Suzy was my age and controlled That end of Mott St for a long Time. You had an Aunt that had a son with speach problem I think they called him Jonhnny Wow Wow. My Mothers family the Chiorello's lived at 50 Mott St and I remember that my Mother told me that your Grand Father was in chnarge of lighting the gas lamps on Mott Street in the early 1900's.
Joe, before my Father worked for the Trenton Times,which wasn't long, he worked for GM (Eastern Aircraft)were he met my Mother. He worked for the Trentonian (30yrs) until he retired in 1976. He passed away in 1981. My cousin Johnny Wow Wow was my Aunt Jenny Mercurio"s son (My Fathers Sister). my Grandfather was a Lamplighter and after, he worked at the Lincoln Theater. My Uncle Tony was the iceman in the burg !

I forgot about your Uncle Tony The Ice Man. Do you remember who had the Candy Store next to your Grandfather.
Sorry Joe, I don't remember any candy store next to my grandfather.but my Mothers family lived at 568 So Clinton next to Gigi's Saloon! which is where I was born, 1945.
