Hackensack History / Re: Old Candy stores
« on: August 03, 2011, 08:16:08 AM »
I have a picture of the original counter with the soda fountains of Vic's in my hackensack street tours pics pt 2 on facebook. I was there about a month ago and went inside and it's a different place now but the lady told me they kept the original soda fountains.  There was also a candy store on fair st between essex and kansas with sawdust on the floor and the ladies who ran it were Miss Angelina and her daughter Miss Josie, and they lived upstairs..I think one of their children's name was Angela...i forget their last names but im sure they were italians.  I miss them..

Wow, 1984 was a year for Hackensack and presidential candidates!. I dont know why I dont remember Reagan coming to Hackensack, but I do remember Jesse Jackson coming. I was 19 at the time, and he came and spoke to a crowd who gathered at the bleachers at the football field at HHS.

Hackensack Discussion / Re: Main St.

I just read this posting about Prozy's planning on closing. Did the store close yet? I hope not...I would like to stop by there and say goodbye. I worked there in 1985 and I actually have fond memories of being there including the Prosnitz family.  Reading the comments about Main Street, good and bad, made me think of the main street of my youth. Back in the early 70's there used to be a big parade that went down Main Street. I think it was for Memorial Day. The parade ended at the court house.  Another memory is going into Woolworths and smelling the hotdogs cooking at the lunch counter.  I used to try to get my mother to go to the back of the store to try to get her to buy me a toy.  Finally there were two movie theaters, actually across the street from each other. The Fox and the Oritani. Does anyone know how long the movie theaters were there? Why were they across the street from each other anyway?

I went to HHS in the early 80's (9/79-6/83), and I remember when I was a freshman there was a big fight between some blacks and whites.  Other than that I dont remember any kind of racial tensions at the school.  As for violence, it was actually quite minimal, compared to what I used to hear about towns like Paterson and Newark.  In fact, in my junior and senior years we had an influx of students coming to school from Paterson schools due to the violence going on there. This was the pre-Joe Clark days. Joe Clark was the principal of one of the HS's in Paterson who inspired the movie Lean on Me starring Morgan Freeman.  To the editor, you wrote that you went to St. Joe's in Montvale, while your siblings went to HHS. It's funny you mention St. Joe's because my brother went to St.Joes in Montvale. He was there on a basketball scholarship. I'm wondering if you were there the same time he was there
