When I featured these CDVs recently along with some of the doctor's medical stuff, I lamented the fact that they weren't bigger. Now they are.

They appear to be the same identical pair from that auction, but the seller's ID is not that of the winner of the previous auction.



Seller's description:

Maybe the Nuns were acting like cleats protecting souls from heels like Elvis Presley whose gyrating hips on the Ed Sullivan Show were a cause for moral outrage during the Robert Hall / Thom McAn / cleats / DA era or is that error?

I'm pretty sure that Sister Mary Elephant would object to being compared to something found on the bottom of our shoes and Elvis' gyrating hips on the Ed Sullivan Show did not cause any moral outrage because no one saw them.

Sullivan had ordered that the cameras only show him from the waist up.

crescent shaped metal taps on to the soles of your shoes
Yeah - what we used to call cleats, which were put on to forestall uneven heel wear. You meant "heels" rather than "soles", right? Otherwise, you'd sound like a tap dancer.



Quote from: Homer Jones on March 27, 2010, 08:34:28 AM
The black leather square toes that you refer to were appropriate to wear with white sweat socks and black chinos with pegged pant legs and a belt on the back or two on the sides.
When I was in 7th grade at Holy Trinity, there was an 8th-grader who wore those leather lightning square-toe loafers (and an exaggerated version of the hair style you mentioned above). And you KNOW pegged pants were NOT permitted at HTS!

I had forgotten all about those little useless belts in the back.

Walk over to Thom's and get a pair of brown penny loafers and stick in two shiny pennies. Bring them to the shoemaker and put metal taps on the back of the heels.

Are you talking about the round metal things that went on the bottom of sofa legs that we used to put in the bottom of the heels of our shoes to make a cool sound when we walked?

When you rode a bicycle at night and dragged your feet, you'd get two big trails of sparks (then you'd forget about that and touch them and burn your hand).

Gotta disagree on the penny loafers, however - WAY too rah-rah. Black leather square-toe loafers with white leather lightning side insets were even cooler than white buck loafers, which were much cooler than Pat Boone's lace-up bucks.

I remember Thom McAn. It was in the little row of stores that included Esposito's Market, next to the Middle school.

 ???

I'm pretty sure Thom McAn was on the east side of Main St in the block south of Passaic St.

Thom McAn had some cool shoes in the late 60s, but Robert Hall was where my mother wanted to take me shopping in the early 60s.

No way!

Seller's description:

This is a brass advertising bell.  One side says KARTCH'S BOYS SHOPS MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.  The other side says 270 MAIN ST. PATERSON, NJ  59 LEXINGTON AVE. PASSAIC, NJ  215 MAIN ST. HACKENSACK, NJ.  It measureas about 3 1/4" high, 1 3/4" wide & 1 1/4" deep.  Excellent condition, the clapper still works, just needs a good cleaning.



So you thought you were cool buying your clothes at David Burr, huh? Piffle! Kartch's was the place to go in the mid-late 60s (after it no longer was a "boy's shop").

One of the bell's bottom edges looks kind of ragged. And it really does need a major cleaning. I used to have one of these and it should have a nice bronze color, mainly because that's what it is - bronze, not brass.

Seller's description:

78 RPM. BLUES. BLUES TAYLOR CAPITOL 57-7003. HACKENSACK MAMA / UNWELCOME BLUES.  78 RPM GRADE IS E / CONVENTIONAL GRADE IS M-.



As close as I can tell, this is from 1949. I found this track listing among a zillion others for a thirty CD set. This is from "Rhythm & Blues Goes Rock'n'Roll Vol 1 - Disc 12":

17. Hackensack Mama - Johnny "Blues" Taylor (Capitol 70003) 1949

The number matches the one on the label.

The work crew is now gone, the hole is filled, covered, and the street is open to westbound traffic (eastbound was never blocked).

OK - am I done here?

Apparently not.

I heard a jackhammer coming from a familiar direction, so I took a stroll over to Sewerbrick Road. Westbound traffic was blocked off by a police car at Main St.

I'm not quite sure what happened. One of the workers tried shouting an explanation over the noise and the only word I heard was "sinkhole".

It doesn't look like a big deal, but what do I know?
