Hi Mack: I remember most all you have listed. That''s about the time I was carrying mail throughout the Burg. I use to call Hamilton Ave. doctors row. They were tough because of all the drug samples they got. When I delivered on W. State, between Willow and Calhound, I had about 50 doctors. The bad thing about those routes were the steps. In the winter it was murder. It really just seems like yesterday. Regards
Just thought I'd make a slight correction to your doctor's list. Dr. Louis G. Fares (NOT Phares)had his office at 263 Hamilton Ave. I knew him and his family personally, having grown up with his two sons, Lou and Ron. We lived next door at 259 Hamilton Ave. My family ran Caesars Meat Market at 200 Hamilton Ave for over 70 years.
Hi PMD:)
I have corrected the spelling
of Dr Fares name. Thank You:)
Your family not on this list
as 259 was not an office/business
in my directory and that is what
this is a list of:)
Tell me about Caesars Meat Market..
What were the names of the original
owners..what part of Italy were
they from..did you ever work there
as a kid? from what years was it
opened and closed.
Excuse me if I get excited about
stuff like this but everyone that
made the burg what it was is a
star on this blog:))
