Such great names -- Castanea, Tattersalls and Cuticura. I so wanted black and white saddle shoes but my mother said a young lady did not wear black so I got brown and white saddle shoes. Thanks for such great memories. You never let me down.

And you got personalized service; something unheard of today. Her son and my dad were great friends and we often vacationed with he & his wife. What a nice memory; something I had sort of forgotten about.

Lots of good memories here,But wasn'...Hey Tom:<br /><br />Lots of good memories here,But wasn't the "Tropical Drink Shop" aka the Pina Colada place you mentioned located in front of the Lido Chianese Restuarant on the Skinny portion of Hanover St. at No. Warren?<br />And in that block of No. Warren St. was Satterwaiths Feed and Grain Store. Every Easter season we waited to see the baby chicks hatching in the window, along with the cute little ducks.<br />Metropole Clothes was on the 2nd floor next to where the Arcade bowling alley, where I set pins for a nickle a frame. After working all night, Brother in law Joe Bastecki and I would splurge on a "Tomatoe Pie" at "Zotto's on the hill of Warren St.<br />BTW did you see where Delorenzo's made National news with being named one of the best in the USA by Parade Magazine. Mar. 11th edition.<br /><br />Warm good wishes<br /><br />Mike KuzmaMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296888329482355436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-69769851816918918232012-03-17T10:25:40.959-04:002012-03-17T10:25:40.959-04:00HI TOM...I'M ONE OF THOSE WHO RECALL THE WAY T...HI TOM...I'M ONE OF THOSE WHO RECALL THE WAY THINGS WERE BEFORE ALL THE CRAZY CONTRAPTIONS.
