I worked in the Back Room from 1975 thru 1977. It was a great store back then - I use to get great buys - voted best dressed in highschool (that's the truth) - thanks to Loehman's.

Do you remember any of the supervisors names? Do you remember May Grill?

was in the Associated Food Store on City Island Ave, delivering groceries for "Max"

first job was delivering laundry for a laundry on webster and 179th, then moved on to bigger and better things like the army, then citibank for 26 years then snack bar at vanny, then delivering food for a restuarant in riverdale now not working just going to the mailbox once a month to pull some checks out. well worth the struggle...

Where the heck was Kingsbridge Heights Community Center? I knew of a Kingsbridge Heights Jewish Center. i believe it became a PS 86 annex.

My first job out of James Monroe High School (1964) was as a teller in Manufacturers Hanover Trust, on Westchester and Boynton Aves in the southeast Bronx. My starting salary was $60/wk, which was a pretty good, considering the benefits, job security and chances for a life-long job with the bank. I was given a promotion and transferred to Allerton Ave, and eventually transferred to Wall Street to the securities division of the bank.

Several years later, I started college, and taught Biology in Herman Ridder HS in Brooklyn, and moved on to administer Drug and Alcohol and HIV Counseling and Education programs in Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn. My career goal was realized when I taught Psychiatry and Ethics and served as a Dean of Students in a Caribbean Medical School.

It ALL started in the Bronx, with memories of a childhood ONLY a Bronxite could truly relate to.....

Was it a Multilith press with latex plates?

OH BOYZEE!!! I was a wild child! I started out at 16, telling everyone I was 18, go-go dancing in bars in NJ...also worked part-time at the Fillmore East in lower Manhatten....Turned my love of music (and musicians LOL) into more of a career by working in a music rehearsal studio down near Grand St.
Moved to London in 1973, where I was a barmaid, a nanny, a pharmacy manager....in other words, a Jill of all trades....Been in Florida since 1980, where I've been a banker, a florist, a secretary, a wife and mom, and currently own a bicycle store! How FUN!

OH errrrr.....I'm not retired YET...got the topic wrong...but I AM still goofy!

Used Multilith 1250 with latex and alum. plates also 233 Davidson. But that was way back..

I remember those presses well. They were "upgraded" and then used paper plates.

Sorta funny how we measure our childhood by the pizza places we grew up with in the Bronx. In the early 60's, a price war developed among the four pizza places on Westchester, near Monroe HS. While most charged 15 cents/slice, there were two who determined to out-do the other and put them out of business. Each charges TEN CENTS INCLUDING A MEDIUM SODA.

Needless to say, each went out of business within six months, and we were back to fifteen cents slices and 10 cent sodas in due time.

A memory worthy of the Bronx, and the back rooms of our pizza places.....hahahaha

You sound like me, in many ways. I too have led a rather eclectic life, serving as a Dean of Students in a Caribbean Medical School, a carpenter, bottling water, teaching psychiatry, administering Drug and Alcohol programs, being a bank teller and a host of other things that I chose to pursue while serving the underserved. I also dedicated my life to traveling throughout Europe and the Caribbean, and would trade NONE of it for the world.

that's true, my friend.....it's great to have lived an interesting life......my motto: NO REGRETS!

So, what would your price be for a fully loaded Trek or equal quality, aluminum or carbide road (touring) bike with full Shimano or Campignola components??

LOL, I am STILL a bike addict, starting after I moved to 79th and 1st in Manhattan and went to Central Park daily to do the loop between 72nd St. and 57th with about 50 of my friends for a few hours. Weekends was usually a longer loop between 57th St and 110th St. They had just started closing the park on weekends to traffic except on the cross streets like 66th St. which were on a different road than the park road.
