Thanks Homer, the second one sounds like the more believable one!

Another street that always seemed odd to me was that corner of Essex and South State Sts. where there is a street sign in that parking lot that says Huyler St (which begins when the town changes to So. Hack) Last i can remember the two signs were there together almost parallel.

Breslow's must have been before my time, but it sounds like the kind of place I would have liked!

A stream..really? You know, I never knew that...I never went on the "street" deep enough to see that, interesting..I must look for that next time I'm in Hackensack. Your info is great, thank you!  I'll probably post some more street questions later on.

There was a "sidestreet" off of Hudson called Maiden Lane, but it really wasn't a street at all...just kind of a shallow lot that looked like it was part of Hudson...anyone know any history on this?
thanks!

There was a movie made a few years ago with the same title...the one i'm speaking of came out in the early 90's and starred Jami Gertz. It's a "silly love story" (not my kind of film either) but as a Hackensack resident it's fun to see all the old places.
I happened to be coming home one night and saw all the commotion going on over on Lodi St and got to see a scene get filmed, so that was fun.

hmmmm...i'm not sure we're talking about the same one (or maybe it was called that at one time). the one i'm thinking of was right after Costa Bros, close to the corner of Lodi St i believe (or maybe closer to Pink St.) it was seen in the movie Jersey Girl, as the 3 girls walked out to Jackson Ave from behind it. if i remember correctly it had Pepsi decals all over the bottom of the building.

That had to be the woman who had the store...i don't remember exactly what the address was but I lived a few doors down from there. Another one was a little store on the corner of Broadway and New St....i think the proper name was Broadway deli but everyone called it Vic's.
