Hackensack Discussion / The "old style" street signs
« on: January 04, 2017, 01:17:48 PM »
Happened to be going down So Prospect earlier today, here is an example of the street signs I had mentioned in another thread. Curious as to why this particular one was never updated...

Hackensack History / New song about Hackensack...
« on: October 27, 2016, 08:50:24 AM »
Hey gang, here is my story...years ago I posted a question if anyone remembered the King Spirit Temple at Park and Central. In one of my musical projects, the singer of this band (an old friend of mine) knew two guys from Little Ferry who actually had an encounter with the "church goers" of that place in the 80's. As the story goes, they were walking by the church and the door was open. One of the guys saw a gong on the "altar" and they decided to go inside and attempt to steal it. They were caught by the "parishoners" and were arrested for Breaking and entering. They appeared in court along with the witnesses from the church who, according to one of the boys chanted at them in something they couldn't understand, successfully scaring the s&*t out of them. Me and my friend, the singer had always talked about writing a song about that...and now here it is...hope you all enjoy

Hey gang, does anyone remember this little shop? It was a few doors south of Immaculate Conception school. I googled the address and there's a Certa Pro Painters business in there as of 2013, but the building is still there

Hackensack History / Questions about Hackensack eateries..
« on: August 11, 2015, 08:31:29 AM »
Hey gang, I was curious if anyone remembered the name of the place on the corner of Lodi St and So. State St many years ago, I think it was Daddy-O's or something like that? It changed names many times..curious if anyone remembers the name changes. Also the place on the corner of Lodi and Green St. Another "many turnover" spot. I can't help thinking that particular spot would get flooded a lot. Also there was an italian restaurant north of that corner who's name I can't remember..

Hackensack History / Another Hackensack pizzeria
« on: March 16, 2015, 09:30:47 AM »
Hey gang...there was a small pizza place on Vreeland Ave just up the street from Immaculate Conception church, close to the intersection of Taylor Ave. It was like a converted house (which they later made back into a house after it closed)...anyone remember this place? I remember playing pinball in there, mid to late 70's

Does anyone remember a pizzeria on Essex St close to the cross street of either Newman St or Railroad Ave, I believe the name was La Bella Napoli? I'm thinking mid to late 70's

Hackensack History / Hackensack Car Dealerships
« on: August 21, 2011, 10:49:09 AM »
At one time we had almost all of the GM franchise dealers in Hackensack. Feldner Cadillac in Hackensack (where I started working in 1985).. Guy-Ross Chevrolet (also worked there).. Jack Schlein Buick on Main St....and Joseph's Oldsmobile (formerly Ratner Olds)..the only one we didn't have was Pontiac, and there was Sifford Pontiac-GMC right over the bridge in Bogota, still very close..

When i was a kid I heard that this place was a Satanic church...according to this article it seems to be some sort of Polish/Slavic church. I know now the church was demolished and condos were built, but does anyone remember anything specific about this place?

Hackensack History / Hackensack Record King
« on: April 30, 2010, 03:46:33 PM »
Last summer i visited the "new" Record King on Main St, across the street from where he used to be next to the Oritani. I hadn't been in the old store since the late 70's (i bought english imports and the Ace Frehley solo album in 1978) and was never in the new store until last August. I was glad to see the original owner Craig still in the store too.
If you're into vinyl still like i am, check him out...anyone here been in either the old or new store?
