From: GEORGE RYAN 1972 Anyone else remember Pepcon's record shop, before they knocked down that side of Suffolk Av? From: BETTY BINKLEY 1977 To: GEORGE RYAN 1972 I remember when I was in St. John of God, my friends and I would go there to spend our allowances on 45's - remember those? From: GEORGE RYAN 1972 Oct-25 To: BETTY BINKLEY 1977 I mainly remember the type of store it was. Real small town. Not your Sam Goody or Hastings for sure. From: BRIAN DOHERTY 1974 To: GEORGE RYAN 1972 I remember the old guy behind the counter with his soggy cigar butts... From: GEORGE RYAN 1972 To: BRIAN DOHERTY 1974 Yeah! I think he was somebody's father or grandfather from our class. From: BETTY BINKLEY 1977 To: GEORGE RYAN 1972 I remember, too. It seems like there are no "owned" stores anymore. No book stores, no record stores, Everything is a chain. I miss that. My parents bought their 1st color TV on Suffolk Ave, but I don't remember the name of the store (I was young)But I do remember their calling to see how we liked it, Circuit City doesn't do that! From: WALTER AHREM 1973 To: BETTY BINKLEY 1977 betty, was it post tv From: PEGGY MAHONEY 1967 To: BETTY BINKLEY 1977 Pardon me for interfering--but it was probably Post TV--I was just talking about the "old" Suffolk Avenue with a friend on Sunday--and that store was mentioned!! Along with Carvel, Green Lantern, the Community Ambulance building and what evr else was there--we couldn't remember them all! I agree on the individual owner thing though--sad in a way!!! From: ANGELIA RICHTER 1982 To: GEORGE RYAN 1972 No Sorry I don't remember it but I remember a Deli at the end of my block on Pineville and Suffolk. My brothers got into a fight there and we weren't allowed in it anymore. From: ANGELIA RICHTER 1982 To: PEGGY MAHONEY 1967 Wow I remember the Carvel too. It had all the tables with the metal chairs in pastel colors. I haven't been to a carvel where you can sit and eat your ice cream in a long time. From: ARLENE SPINELLI 1966 To: BETTY BINKLEY 1977 does post television ring a bell owned by mr parisi dont think it was the teacher and how many of you guys got your first harcut at sal the barbers From: ARLENE SPINELLI 1966 To: ANGELIA RICHTER 1982 carvel was once a dress store in the 50s thats why the front window was so big they used to display the dresses there. my parent had their first apartment over that store. From: ROSEMARIE ANZALDI 1973 To: WALTER AHREM 1973 Hi! Post TV was owned by Victor Parisi's dad. From: GEORGE RYAN 1972 To: ARLENE SPINELLI 1966 Yeah!

From: WALTER AHREM 1973 To: ROSEMARIE ANZALDI 1973 rose, yes i do From: EILEEN MOSCHINGER 1976 To: ROSEMARIE ANZALDI 1973 Hey what about Suffolk Variety and John's Bargain Store! From: ELENA AHRENS 1978 To: EILEEN MOSCHINGER 1976 I remember John's Bargain store and buying new flip flops for 49 cents! From: GERALD ROBERTSON 1961 To: ARLENE SPINELLI 1966 Sal was my barber. I remember that I loved to go in there because it was just about the only air conditioned place in town, but it made your eyes burn. From: ROSEMARIE ANZALDI 1973 To: EILEEN MOSCHINGER 1976 Here's another one!! Jack-In-The-Box burger joint!! Also I remember a men's clothing store where John's Bargain Store used to be.........and how about Benstock's Appliance Store (that was soooooo long ago)!! From: WALTER AHREM 1973 To: ROSEMARIE ANZALDI 1973 rose, mans place was down further,what about franks landmark From: ANGELIA RICHTER 1982 To: ARLENE SPINELLI 1966 I had no idea it was a dress store. Could be because we didn't move to CI til 1965. We originally came from the bronx. My brother's new a Spinelli. Matty he was married to Lila Hillard. Any relation? I know he was shot at the bar on suffolk. From: ANGELIA RICHTER 1982 To: EILEEN MOSCHINGER 1976 I remember john's bargain store too! Man I haven't thought about that in so long. And wasn't the supermarket an A&P way back when on suffolk between church and pineville. My mom didn't drive so we walked to all the stores on suffolk and wheeler . From: BETTY BINKLEY 1977 To: EILEEN MOSCHINGER 1976 My brothers and I used to go to John's for Mother's Day gifts. It was always such a big deal. My one brother always wanted to buy something really cheap so we could spend the change on Flying Saucers! From: GEORGE RYAN 1972 To: WALTER AHREM 1973 There were two stores, really. First he had the C.I Mens Shop next to Cheryl Ann. Later he moved into the old B&B as the Man's Place. Remember the other store on Carleton? I remember they had a big slot car track. I think it was where Mid Island used to be before they moved to Hauppage. From: WALTER AHREM 1973 To: GEORGE RYAN 1972 george, i remember when it was in b&b they had slot cars but dont remember in hauppage From: GEORGE DIGEROLAMO 1971 To: PEGGY MAHONEY 1967 Hey ,my dad had a small hot dog store there before jack in the box came in!!it was called Alamos.

I also remember Sal (the drunk) cutting my ears to shreds and laughing about it, "Sorry Kid, HAHA". I guess I can look back now and laugh about it myself...HAHA-LOL Steve From: NICK CONNOLLY 1968 To: GEORGE RYAN 1972 I have a fuzzy memory of a head shop on the south side of Suffolk Ave between the Green Lantern and the corner. From what I can remember, it didn't last too long. From: ARLENE SPINELLI 1966 To: NICK CONNOLLY 1968 i think that was a ladies shop i got my hair done there for the jr prom in 65. From: NICK CONNOLLY 1968 To: ARLENE SPINELLI 1966 This was later, around '69 or '70 From: JUDY ANTONUCCI 1974 To: ROSEMARIE ANZALDI 1973 I bought many a Christmas gift from that gift store, once I bought lovely elephant feet pencil holders for all my brothers! I wonder if they still have them. From: JUDY ANTONUCCI 1974 To: GEORGE RYAN 1972 Do I remember Pepcon's? I used to go uptown as we Lowell girls used to say, after American Bandstand on Saturdays with Barbara Stietzel and Kathy DiBetta and buy whatever was the hottest son out. That was usually after stopping in at Woolworths for some white lipstick and blue eyeshadow, right Barbara! From: PASQUALE DIGIANTOMASSO 1971 To: NICK CONNOLLY 1968 THERE WAS ALSO A BOUTIGUE (AS THEY CALLED IT) ON THE NORTH SIDE OF SUFFOLK AND IF I REMEMBER RIGHT THEY WERE LOCATED NEXT TO SAL THE BARBAR OR IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE NEXT STORE OVER. AND YOUR RIGHT THANK GOD FOR DIFFERENT STROKES. THAT WAS OWNED BY MY 2ND COUSIN From: DIANA TEJERA 1970 To: ARLENE SPINELLI 1966 I remeber the carvel's being a florist for years. Must have been after the dresses but before the ice cream. From: NICK CONNOLLY 1968 To: EILEEN MOSCHINGER 1976 I broke one of the glass doors in Suffolk Variety when I was about 9 or 10. I was admiring a toy car my father had just bought for me and ran right into the door and put a huge crack in it with my knee! And let's not forget National Shoes!!! From: JUDY ANTONUCCI 1974 To: NICK CONNOLLY 1968 National Shoes! It was years before I found out that you could buy shoes that didn't hurt right off the rack! From: NICK CONNOLLY 1968 To: JUDY ANTONUCCI 1974 I remember forcing my father to buy me a particular pair of shoes and then had to go back about a week of so later to get another pair that didn't make my toes scream! Fortunately they were only $2.99. Yes, that was quite some time ago. And how about the Shoe Repair Shop just north of Walsh's Funeral Home? From: JUDY ANTONUCCI 1974 To: NICK CONNOLLY 1968 Wow - you're good! |
