1938: HURLEY TOBIN DELIVERY FLEET
Broad Street Park Historian Jim Colello stopped into my office this morning, and as usual, we had an incredibly interesting visit. Jim brought me 3 exquisite photos of the Hurley Tobin automobile fleet. I am posting one of the 3, and will be posting the others as time permits. Jim also donated the tickets to midnight Mass at Immaculate Conception Church which were posted earlier today. Thanks, Jim.

1993: DELICIOUS EATERIES: READ THE LOWER GRAPHIC FIRST
Above are two articles I wrote a number of years ago; read the lower one first in order to maintain the proper continuation. The articles recall many, but not all of the places we took our dates, or in the case of Del Rio, where went after dropping off our dates and meeting at Del Rio for a burger and fries taking our at the Marble round table which Carl DeAngelo reserved for "The Knights of the Round Table." Here's a mini-glimpse at "Dirty Bill's," over near the bridge at Yardley. And Mack, you asked about Dirty Bill's being a breakfast place. I don't think I can verify that. All I remember was his "stand" was right along the road from Morrisville to Yardley in a room that was apparently a sun porch at some time. As I recall, he cooked on a grill which was fashioned out of a 55 gallon drum cut in half vertically, and laid horizontally with a grill on top. I don't know whether he served breakfast, but I don't think he did....at least when we were regulars there. His hot dogs were incredibly tasty....talk about "betcha can't eat just one!"

Hey Joey:
Thanks for the email. I have added your site to my www.glover320.blogspot.com . You have interesting stories to tell. Remember, when we're all on the other side of the dirt, there will be descendents of ours who will be very interested in the "Five W's: Who? What? When" Where" and Why?" In my generation it was Del Rio, Dirty Bill's, Greenwood Dairies, Millside Farms, Betty and Bill's, etc. You and Mike McNicoll, Gary Lippincott from Groveville and others from a younger generation have very interesting stories to tell, and it's nice to see that you guys are among those who share your experiences of growing up in the greatest area in the U.S.A.
Tom Glover
===============================================
Thank you Tom. I love the stories, and memories we all share with each other. I look back and those were the good old days and it's great to write about those experiences to share with other.
Always,
Joe

1952: LOUISE BAIRD'S HAMILTON HIGH CHOIR
Some of these singers were in my years as a member of the HHS choir. Through the years, Hamilton High's vocal music accomplishments are legendary. During WWII, the choir sang at numerous events for the soldiers at Fort Dix. Louise Baird had a scrapbook filled with warm letters of appreciation from those who were exposed to our music. Today, Ms. Sue Proulx keeps the tradition of musical excellence as the vocal music director at "West."

1987: THOSE GREAT OLD COMIC STRIPS
Dick Tracy encountered during his career as a comic strip detective.
Capp Stubbs, Smokey Stover, Prince Valiant, Smilin' Jack, and of course, Dick Tracy! The above was pasted in one of my "Nostalgia" scrapbooks, and also appeared in a "The Way We Were" column which I wrote many years ago for the late, great, Mercer Messenger. A year of so ago, on this website, I started a list of noted eateries, restaurants, hot dog stands and other long forgotten vestiges of our past. I was one of 2 other guys who was interviewed on WBCB (1490 A.M.) and we had a lively discussion remembering those great old eating places.
The list still has additional entries being added.
Let's add to my list of comics from the past. I have given you a few long-lost comics in the intro above. How many do you remember that I aren't listed? Go to the "Comments" section below and add those that you remember. (To get you started: "Henry," "Steve Canyon," c'mon, rake over that gray matter and add to the list! I'm so old I remember Milton Caniff, Russ Westover, and Ham Fisher!

Jews, Catholics, and dissident Protestants are warned by the Fascist Nazi party to face dire consequences if Hitler's National Socialist programs are criticized from the pulpit. Already, the Jews were facing degradation at the hands of Nazi rownshirts and other assorted thugs. The worse was yet to come.
