As for the guy across the street, I think his name was spelled Wherle. He lived on Maple Hill Drive.   Does anyone know if that property is still undergoing remediation of contamination.

I can't speak for the quality of food at Pete's Luncheonette because the place looked like a dive compared to the new restaurant there now, so I never ate there.  Wasn't there another restaurant there after Pete's, and before the current owner ?

Thanks JW I did spell Wherle wrong and you spelled it right....But then I probably spelled Lepera wrong also...

I guess you never worked at Goldberg Slipper or  Hackensack DPW... if you never ate at Pete's it was no dive, it was good working class people food.... towards the end I guess the outside needed paint... but thats about when the big change up came to the area and people started bringing their left over rice and beans to work for lunch and not frequenting local establisments...its hard to stay in business let alone paint the place when nobody is buying....Im just saying....

I swear to you it makes me want to be there...the only thing I would miss is air conditioning......

The uniform's were always good quality material....the reversible GYM shirts Blue/Gold that was some heavy stuff.....my gym shorts lasted almost 20 years after graduation....

I don't know who bitch is, but bitch is right......

I have a Mr. & Mrs. Cardinal out at my feeder now ....I think its as JustWatching says it might be the West Nile....Because there used to be alot more Cardinals then there are now.....

They are really tough birds them and Blue Jays..They will fight for theirs.....

I dont think its a rapture issue ...I do have a Sharp Shin Hawk that uses my back yard as it's own little deli from time to time....but it only seems to like the more delicate and tender Morning Doves.....all you see is a little pile of fine downy feathers when its through....

That's Nature.............

Heres a Question about RECENT Anderson St History...?

Does anyone know where Silky and his Mom moved to and if they are still in business ?, Silky's BBQ was (literally) a Little Hole in the wall BBQ joint,  where there is now a Chinese take out.....His Mother did the cooking which was some good eating....I get the willies for BBQ..and wish they were still around....

I guess it was there 8 - 10 years ago....

Definitely your contributions to the board keep it lively and make me yearn for what must have been simpler times.......Thanks Bob.....

IMHO........I don't think there will be anymore sitings of a red fox

I was thinking of the Hole in the Wall club on 17. Anyone remember the big painting of a hole in the wall on the front wall where you could "see" what was going on inside the club?

Great 70s club names. The worst local 70s club name? "The Cuss from Hoe" on Paramus Rd, Paramus.

They really packed them in at both of them.....some good Local Bands at The Cuss........

How about The Bears Nest.....The Library..... The Tow Path....Mothers....The Soap Factory...The Mouse Trap...The Ram's Horn.....so many places, to many places.....

As far as the Wild life in Borgs woods....it makes its way in following Streams and railroad tracks....see the story about Garrett Mountain....in the Record 2 weeks ago.....they say up to 600 deer live there.....they are opening up a hunt to thin the heard.....about 3 years ago there was a dead deer on 17 at Essex st....
