Also found green khakis. My folks bought pale aqua melamine bowls. They preferred shopping in places like the Ewing Bazaar, Englishtown and farmers markets versus regular stores. A lot more fun! I haven't been to these places since my family split up and I ended up Oklahoma in 1979. Still get homesick.

Does anyone remember when they started building Moody Park?<br />Now for my the things I remember from the days long ago in Ewing, my first job at Burger King 1977, the store next to Alfred Reed was originally owned by my grandfather, George Smith, Frank's Hotdogs owned by my great uncle Frank Catana, on Olden right in front of the Red Circle Bank (I can't think of what it was really called) who contrary to what most people thought, never got retire to Florida as planned, he sadly had 5 strokes and lived for 17 years at home in Trenton.<br />Deli-Delite, where I spent a ton of time, NJ Network Channel 52 on Parkside Ave. that moved into the old bowling alley (can't remember the name of it, but I do remember watching it burn when I was like 5). I also remember before Deli-Delite was there, there was just a little store you could get milk and eggs, etc. and the hair dresser next door, all on the corner of Ewingville/Parkside Ave and Spruce St.<br />And who remembers the little silver boxes we had on our porch for the Milkman to make deliveries?Karencardi105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-85418793056681537712021-04-07T17:07:27.480-04:002021-04-07T17:07:27.480-04:00Marys- Deboskis deliMarys- Deboskis deliAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802288531175156384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-27769293876828163702021-01-11T09:43:02.057-05:002021-01-11T09:43:02.057-05:00I lived in Ewing for many years and I remember a s...I lived in Ewing for many years and I remember a store called the Ewing Bazaar where they sold clothing and stuff.

My family owned and operated the diner until 1990. We sold the business and the new owners changed the name to the Parkside Diner. There have been two more owners since then, with the current name of the diner being The Two Peters Diner.
