Re: The Silence is unbelievable

Mauri, Do you remember if Genise's opened then on a Sunday night or was it just Fusco's later years we use to visit Rossie's in Bridge St for Ice cream ,and there was a great Pie shop on Bridge St Beano I'm sure would remember it I think he was called Carnduff ?but the pie and peas were brillant then ,sometimes I wonder does one's tastebuds decrease with age ? Or was food tastier then,or maybe we just used more vineger ,O for a supper out of Ginesi's .
Bon-appete Ted

Re: The Silence is unbelievable

Hi Ted, I remember Fusco's being open on a Sunday but can't remember Genise's opening on a Sunday though it well may have.

Remember how strict and how serious people took Sundays,best clothes worn, Sunday school for the kids, Church for the adults etc.

I remember one time before the war when I was living in Warren Park a bunch of the older guys and some of us little kids went on the Golf course on a Sunday when it of course was closed.

The older guys played pitch and toss while us little kids rolled pennies on the green into the cup. All of a sudden two Police officers appeared from behind a hedge and everybody run to avoid getting caught myself included, however they were not interested in us little kids they wanted the older guys who got on to Sandy Lane then into the cememtary and out the other side.

Not sure if they ever caught them as I headed home scared out of my wits.I think one of the Police Offficers was Chestnut,(Remember him} Mauri
