Online Auctions/Local Images (Moderated by BLeafe) / Origami map "shirt": shows Hackensack, Steuben House, NYC, etc.

« on: December 13, 2010, 12:48:05 AM »

http://cgi.ebay.com/Origami-Map-Shirt-Elizabeth-New-York-City-Hackensack-/370465758080?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item56417adb80

Description:

This handsome Origami Map Shirt Ornament is individually handcrafted from recycled orignal maps and atlases. This origami shirt is based on a traditional dollar bill fold. The map design continues onto the back of the shirt (but is not contiguous due to folding). The body of the shirt has four layers of paper, while the sleeves have two layers. The shirt is embellished with five sequin buttons and finished with a handmade metal clothes hanger.

Total height of the ornament is about 5 inches (including the hanger); width about 6 inches.

There are many other uses for this Origami Map Shirt Ornament. Use the shirt instead of a card! It's flat and can be mailed like a card. Use it as a special gift tag. Or as a place card at your next dinner party! It's perfect for your scrapbooking page. And it is a memorable gift for the traveller or college student or as a simple birthday gift.

See photo for the actual Origami Map Shirt Ornament. Each shirt is unique due to differences in the recycled maps used.

Shows Elizabeth, New York City, Hackensack and some surrounding areas.

Hackensack Discussion / Re: Hackensack Main Street Festival 2010

« on: December 13, 2010, 12:38:41 AM »

Thanks for the kind words.

I really couldn't tell you who was in FoS back then because I didn't follow them.

I stuck mainly with Pegasus because the lead singer was my roommate. Other than that, I wasn't overly-involved with the local scene. There were bigger fish to fry.

Online Auctions/Local Images (Moderated by BLeafe) / Two Hackensack-related recordings that no one has

« on: December 09, 2010, 01:07:19 AM »

1. http://cgi.ebay.com/Perfect-78-rpm-Casino-Dance-Or-Hackensack-N-J-14274-/120657597853?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item1c17c0d59d

Many of us are familiar with the 78 rpm record, "Back in Hackensack, New Jersey" by the Benson Orchestra of Chicago. Today, I found another 78 that I've never seen before, also titled "Back in Hackensack, New Jersey", but this one is by the Casino Dance Orchestra on the Perfect (!) label.

Besides the label name and the toffee-colored vinyl, what caught my eye were the names of the songs on the flip sides:

Benson - "Doodle-Doo-Doo"
Casino - "Vee Vodelum Voo"

Actually, the Casino flip side is by Nathan Glantz And His Orchestra, but those titles sound like they were running out of song ideas. What's next - "Ay-Eee-Eye-Oh-Yoo"?

Seller says the record comes with a Perfect sleeve. I'd expect nothing less.

2. http://cgi.ebay.com/Three-Friars-7-45-Hackensack-NJ-PRIVATE-FOLK-HEAR-/300501987356?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item45f750701c

If you'd like to hear some truly awful "wholesome music", buy this 45 rpm record by The Three Friars on the Wholesome Music Company label.............or better yet, save your money and download both scratchy sides (seller provides download links in the description below). It's a horrible snoozefest.

Oh yeah............the label was located at 315 State St, where King's Kids Child Care is.

I can find no reference online to either this singing group or the record company, but I did find one that mentioned both songs and the apparent songwriters (last image).

Description:

one 7" 45RPM Record of The Three Friars on the Wholesome Music Company Label, #315. Songs: "Golden Years" & "(Mothers Day) The Second Sunday In May" Labels have Light wear. Vinyl Grade: VG.

Wholesome Music Company

315 State Street - Hackensack, N.J.

Mp3 taken from both sides of vinyl:

Golden Years

(Mothers Day) The Second Sunday In May

DEFINITELY not anyone's definition of the sound of Hackensack!

Hackensack Discussion / Light at the end of the storm (12/1/10)

« on: December 01, 2010, 05:05:30 PM »

Did anyone catch the 15 minute window of sun after the storm today around 4pm? There was what appeared to be a triple rainbow that was much brighter than the photo below indicates (the cell cam is not great in those situations).

It's the other photo that I like. Look at those clouds! The cell did much better on that one. However, like all good things, it didn't last long enough.

Messy day, nice ending.

Online Auctions/Local Images (Moderated by BLeafe) / Dutch girl on adv. PC of Gordon Dry Goods Co. of Hackensack

« on: December 01, 2010, 01:15:23 AM »

http://cgi.ebay.com/Old-RPPC-Dutch-Girl-Advertising-Hackensack-NJ-/360324013336?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53e4fc1d18

Description:

The old real photo postcard offered here is an advertising piece for Gordon Dry Goods Co. of Hackensack, New Jersey. The image shows a little Dutch girl holding a pot of tulips. This has not been postally used. Condition wise, there is a top right corner crease and very minor wear at the other corners. Overall, this card is fine.

There's no date on it, but I found a NJ tax record for Gordon's Dry Goods dated 1906.
