DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE FRANKFUTER TRUCK ON BEACH AVE./WATSON AVE? (BRONXDALE PROJECTS) THE MAN ON THE TRUCK WAS CALLED POP. GREAT GUY. HE REALLY HAD A NICE SELECTION. IF YOU LIVED IN BRONXDALE AND WANT TO TALK OLD TIMES, PLEASE RESPOND. GREAT TIMES.
Oh Jeanette I remember Pop with his silver truck. I especially loved the long pretzels that were about a nickle and we got mustard on them. I also loved the frankfurters with red onions. oh yummy your making me hungry. LOL
They had a truck like this in the James Monroe Projects near the park on Taylor and Story Ave. This was in the early 90's but one day he disappeared in the late 90's. You could buy all kinds of candy and "bomb bags". This was back when a lot of the neighborhood was vacant lots and the closest bodega was the 24/hour on Soundview Ave and Story surrounded by drug dealers.
The Beach Ave guy I do not remember, Beach Ave in Bronxdale projects isn't the greatest place for kids to be playing and eating candy.

I grew up on Evergreen between Westchester and Watson in the 50's and 60's.
Where exactly are the Monroe Projects? I can't even remember if they were there when I went to Monroe and graduated in 1964.
