Now on the subject of "Junky Joe's", can anyone confirm the street and if it that was the official name?? I only remember it as Junky Joe's but I thought that was a nickname. |

And he did have everything but the kitchen sink. But he may have had that also. Our family lived on cleveland st. 2 doors from Moe,s Tavern. Many a beer was tossed down there. Are you related to the Blanda,s that had the funeral home? and was it on Liberty ave?. i Remember A Nicky Blanda |

(just like today.....) |

Often wonder if when they cleared it out, if they ever found any bodies in those piles lol. |
