1956: THE LIBERTY FOOD STORE - 1435 LIBERTY STREET

A familiar site to those of us who are "fugitives from the 1050's." I stopped in here a number of times back when I was a teenager. The building was also a supermarket before being taken over by St. Francis Hospital for their "Life" program.

If this is 3-4 blocks North of Chambers on the right side, I think that is where Mom shopped, after we moved to Hamilton Township and Redfern St in early 54. Looks familiar.

IT IS, RON. IT IS BETWEEN CHAMBERS STREET IN THE AREA OF THE CEMETERIES IN THE BERNADINE AVENUE AREA.

Tom, thanks. We still didn't have a family car in those days. Mom had some sort of cart she could use to carry home some grocery bags. I finally got a car in 56. Left my 54 Mercury with Dad when I enlisted in 59. His first car.

    oops. the Liberty Food Market was originally Risoldi's butcher shop. The father left the business to his children, Sam, Benny & Esther. They expanded it to the size in the photo. Esther marriec and left, Benny bought a tavern in Cookstown that he ran for many years.
    I earned my first "paycheck," a dime, from Benny by delivering flyers around the neighborhood. I was 8 years old. We lived at 1633 Liberty St between the Chambers St. Church & Cristofaro's monuments.
