Are you talking about the Candy store on Ridgewood. I think the name of that store was FRances, or that could have been the lady's name.. |

Also at that age after quitting the Essex Market I worked for 25 cents per hour for Smiley's variety store located corner of Essex and Fulton |

I also remember my My Mother once dragging one of my brothers to Brenner's by the ear to apologize because he swiped something from Mr. Brenner's store. I am sure that everyone remembers going to get bread and milk at the Deli. I think a guy named Bob owned it before Kurt and Lily bought it. How about the Beauty Parlor on the corner too? |

Nat was really nice and Joe was a little grumpy. I also remember everyone got their cards and meds from Carracappa (sp) pharmacy and we used to get haircuts from Vinny the Barber. Vinny would always cut you behind the ears. I guess his sight was starting to go. |
