"....REMEMBER WHEN GOING TO THE "C****S" MEANT DROPPING OFF YOUR LAUNDRY? REMEMBER HOW THEY USED TO DO THE SHIRTS?
Laura B., you are right. For me, "C****s" meant Chinese food. BTW, a girl who loves the 3 Stooges? Is Back In The Bronx a parallel universe? Am I in The Twilight Zone?

I went there mostly in the 60s,as I was only 5 in 1960. There was also a deli a few doors down-Sol's I believe. I lived at 1530 Sheridan. I recall that not only could you get candy and spaldeens at the candy store, you could get wonderful ice cream sundays and egg creams.
HOWIE AND MURRAY'S CANDY STORE ON 170TH ST. BETWEEN SHERIDAN AND GRANT AVES.
ANGELS Angels are the guardians of hope and wonder, the keepers of magic and dreams. Wherever there is love, an angel is flying by. Your guardian angel knows you inside and out, and loves you just the way you are. Angels keep it simple and always travel light. Remember to leave space in your relationships so the angels have room to play. Your guardian angel helps you find a place when you feel there is no place to go.
Hi IJFRI, Levines candy store was my "hang out" during the 40's and early 50's, as was Sol's Deli on 172 st. I lived down the hill on Morris Ave.Mr levine's son Arthur was one of our gang, which is probably why it was our hang out.
kids in our nabe would hike it uphill to a corner candy store at courtlandt avenue,148 st.; a place we all called, "kitchens". ...kept us well-stocked in yo-yos, spintops, cigarette candies, powdered kool-aid thru a straw, comic books, bean shooters, and pez candy...
I REMEMBER A CANDY STORE NEAR ST. ANGELA'S...IT WAS BEFORE YOU GOT TO THE CHURCH, ON MORRIS AVE....ME AND MY CLASSMATES WOULD TRY TO BEAT EACH OTHER OUT, PICKING UP THE LATEST COPY OF "16" OR "TIGER BEAT" MAGAZINE...WE WOULD OOHH AND AHHH OVER DAVY JONES OF THE MONKEES
Would that be Honig's at Morris Ave. and Bonner Place, about one block from St. Angela's?
We hung out at Freddies on Middletown Road right off Crosby Avenue. Freddy and Katie were great people and tolerated alot form us. They had a great jukebox, always stocked the comic book and magazine shelves,a nd Katie made the best Tuna Salad Sandwiches you could ever have. The store was not huge but it had a counter with about six stools and three tables where people had coffee in the moring along with a buttered roll or an english muffin. The candy counter was small but had enough of a variety of penny candies to clear the dimes out of my pocket. In all of my memory banks the store is the most vivid location to me because it was multi generational. I can see my older brother and his friends hanging there in the evening. My mother and other local moms having coffee there in the morning, and my father , his friends , and Freddie closing up the place at night- all with a Night Owl tucked under their arm, and once in a while my father walking home with ice cream ( hard pack in pint chinese food containers) And of course there are my friends- between 11-17 this was our place. We would hit the store between stickball games, after afternoon football games, and of course after shoveling snow. That is the most unique memory- We would put our gloves and hats in the dryer at the Laundromat next store and go into Freddies and drin Hot Chocolate and play records- Red Rubber Ball, Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron, That's Life, later on The Inner Light and The Boxer... I can see the records spinning in my head.

John, I hung out once in a while at Moms. Remember my mother didn't like it because she thought the kids there were wild. I remember she came after me one day and I hid in the telephone booth there. funny, I hadn't thought of that in 40 something years.
