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? Rich

And how about the watermelon guy?--Pete Moscatello.

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.
