Barnitas had the best pizza. The owner's kid used to play in Gobel Park with the rest of us. Every once in a while, they would bring some pies over to the park. if you were part of the in crowd, you used to get a slice! I used to sit in Barnita's waiting for our order and just stare at the moving lights on the Beer sign. It looked like a waterfall! Do you remember Leo's barber shop on Mt. Eden?

my Grandmother lived on Marcy PLace and in the 60s she used to take me to buy shoes at the Bunis Bootery on 170th, and many trips to Johns Bargain Store (was that on 170th?)

Dear Olinville 61:

I am responding to your email regarding 170th Street, and John's Bargain Store. Yes, it was on a 170th Street with loads of bargains.

170th Street was quite the area with every conceivable store on the planet. I guess you read my article.

Let me know how you remember 170th Street.

Awaiting your response.
