If you are ever near E 234 and White Plains Poad look for 4227A that is where my folks owned what useto be a Candy Store from 1953 to 1966 It was called Micky & Helen Dolan's. I have not been back to the Bronx for about 4 years my brother now lives upstae NY so we head that way when we visit NY. Thanks
Originally posted by Rosie D: 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.
I bought my first real cigaretts there in about 1947 they sold loosies at 2cents. Bought them with the deposit of a couple of bottles found in St. Mary's Park. I lived on the other side of the park so figured I wouldn't get caught. (8/9 years old at the time).Had a girl friend at 500 Trinity and I was trying to impress her by smoking in public.
ok kathleen had a chance to swing by there today there is no 4227a least not anymore 4227 itself is realty place. kinda small looks like they might have broken the stores up to smaller ones 4227 is like 5 stores from the corner store which is a candy store ..hope this helped you if you need anymore info just let me know..bob

4227a the Candy Store was the second half of a hoisery store to the right and Prestano Bakery was on the other side. Their was a grocery store called Loven's on the corner. How do you manage to get around the Bronx "finding nostalgia?" It must be an interesting job thanks again Bob. Kathleen

corner of 173rd street and bryant avenue. comic books .10 and small sundaes with whip cream and cherry on top. best cream soda from the fountain ever. bazooka bubble gum .01, babe ruth .05. the owner were refugees from ww2 concentration camps - we loved them alot. they would tell stories of their lost families. we didn't get it back then. when i was in college is when i learned about the tattoos and such. by the time i grew up and left. they had gone to be with their families. they were great people.
