Editor' nice picture.....I have what I think is a Sharp Shinned Hawk that visits my back yard...but all he eat's is the Morning Doves...they must be like veal...I wish he would eat some squirrel's or pigeons....

Over the last 3 years it's practically wiped out all the Morning Doves...

Just a rememberance of mine from the 60's & 70's ...

Before and up until the Mcdonalds was built on River st...(I'm not saying it was built in the 60's)... but if you were standing in the rear parking lot behind the YMCA looking south and crossed Passaic st into the parking lot that is behind the Hackensack Fruit market and Alywards and whatever else is there and in between Mcdonalds there were trolly tracks in that parking lot that were probably pulled up or paved over in the early 70's........

They would have run south from there  between the tennis courts or right over them and the stores and theaters and house's or go go bars..whatever was there at the time......

but the point being....... I remember the trolly tracks there and i my opinion thats where the trolly yard was.........

Johnny g.....

Does anyone remember a severly overgrown Church on the corner of Union and Central or Park and Central during the 60's and early 70's it was called The Church Insects......

I'm not kidding.....I walked past it everyday for many years in that time frame....I was always intriqued but I guess not enough to go in....and it was so overgrown it was scary

 

Bob.....Why does that have to be Kinderkamack....I dont see anything on the card saying that....maybe it's not that far North....

Maybe, possibly... the incline is running east to west...maybe it's someplace a little further south.....i.e. Main and SpringValley,(with the incline being SpringValley) facing sort of west...

or Main and Davis...(incline being Davis) I'm just saying....is there something that tells you it's nowadays Riveredge ...

Johnny g,  I remember a candy store on Hudson St. a little south of Kennedy St.

It was ran by a guy Named Louie....nice guy, I used to stop there for Cigarettes and things in the 70's & 80's....I know it was his Mothers before he got it ....Tessie's

Only 14.1 % of registered voters showed to vote...We get what we deserve...I guess..

I'm not saying there shouldn't be a budget ...But this asking for more this year than last year cycle has to stop....

And I agree with Christie, Teachers have to start contributing a potion for benefits and other changes need to be made...

It's my understanding a part time lunch room monitor can draw a pension or a partial pension .....

Times are tough cant keep raising taxes....

and how about the cops $110,000.00 a year + then $65.00 an hour to sit in a running city cop car, doing side work at a ultility work location... some taking down $200,000.00 a year.... they can pay for their bene's also...we pay that $65.00 an hour in higher ultility rates.... and our taxes pay for the vehicle and insurance's if officer get's hurt or engine wears out running the car A/C for 10 hours in 90 degree weather..

Wouldn't want to begrudge the cops anything...it's a dangerous job...but when is enough ....ENOUGH... something has to give...

I should have been a cop at 200 grand a year...thats a million in 5 years....

I work in the Private sector for a fortune 50 company, and I pay a good portion towards my benefits....
 

There was a Candy Store at the top of Essex St...... called Breslow's....that I remember....

What a treasure trove, it was a luncheonette & they sold toys, candy, models, newspapers, mags, stationary goods, hardware items and much more.....this was the 60's and early to mid 70's.....(my memories)

I'm sure it was three in the 40's and 50's also...

It was in between Hill Top Liquors and the old Shop Rite that was there...

The street now named Wysocki Place used to be called something else, and there was a bar

The Bar was Pete's.....and later it was The Court House Inn....
