Nedicks! My mom use to work there lol they had pinstripe uniforms, kinds like the Yankees. Great memories. Wasn't there another movie theatre around the corner from the Stanley? I recall going there as a kid and people smoking in the theatre.


Wasn't there a great Nedick's in the Grove Street train station?

The red poles are still around here and there.

The Pix actually had a color TV on the second floor.

You couldn't pee crooked there and you'd be tossed out.

The Hilltop was a nice old family style pizza joint up near the Armory on Mercer or Wayne Street I believe.

I came from Factory Street down the hill from the Medical Center and across from Montgomery Gardens.

Here's one for you real oldtimers: remember the viaduct that connected upper and lower Mercer streets? We used to ride our bikes and sleds down it. I still have two bricks from it.

How about the railroad that existed with the trestles over Mercer and Montgomery street? The shacks on the railroad with the coal shutes?

The project gang "The Seabees"?

The rag shops on Wayne street?

His name was Yico, and he'd shout out the names of his vegetables. Another guy was Johnny Budenz. He had a little deli in the trunk of his car. When I could scrape up 35 cents I'd get a pound of pistachio nuts from him--Zenobias--that was heaven!!

Thank you JC,

I just can't forget the first nineteen years of my life in a great city.

Unfortubately, urban renewal took our homes, and my parents left it all behind, but my wife and I still return.

We do miss the old restaurants though--the Canton and IlVento's were wonderful.

When I've got a rested mind, I'll do another list.

Rich.

How about The Hilltop,
the Paul Revere Boys Club,
the viaduct that connected Mercer Street,
Pippi's,
The Pix,
Twan's Hot Dog truck under the turnpike,
riding the freights,
Slim the cop and his nightstick,
stealin' bike stuff from Rocket auto stores,
stealin' anything you could because everybody you knew did too,
Your father workin' on the trucks,
sleddin' Medical center hill and past the projects,
Louie Morris' candy store,
Nick Marino and his punch boards and that stogie,
Danny and Joe the barbers
Oyster Bay,
The Canton,
Barrett's men's store,
The third rail on the tracks,
Wonder Bread and Bond bread and the machines that showed the bread being made on Montgomery street, Mastria's and the paper and rag shops,
Pete's barber shop with the men's magazines,
Railroad avenue before the trestle came down
Ducky's and the Keyhole
Whew!!!

Wow--

The guy who came around to the bars with seafood was my uncle--Mike Pinelli.

He's now officially a part of Jersey City History.
