I lived in the apartment that was over the operations office and loading dock. This was an addition on the rear of 435 Main built in the mid 1960's. (west side of building). The address was 10 Anderson St. The house on Maple Ave was the residence of Mr and mrs Henry W Holman. It was torn down around 1980 to expand the trailer parking area. I left GBHCo in 1977 to move to Arizona so this is just an educated guess.
The stores facing Main Street (prior to 1977) were a hairdresser who did very little business so it had to be a "front" for soe other activity, Mucci's Restaurant, a family operation that catered to working people in the area with good food fairly priced, a vacuum cleaner repair shop, and an empty store. The current Family Dollar Store was a furniture store owned by a guy named Sid. Sid was an a good business man who always gave people a good deal.
George (Bud) Holman was a city councilman in the mid 1970's anad was still in office when I left Hackensack in 1977. The mayor was Casimir Wysocki, Council was: Howard Gregory, George B Holman, Frank(?) Zisa and someone I forget. I recall working on their campaign in the mid 70's.
