Another thing. Look at all the trees behind and to the left of the trolley. If the building in "Bob's picture" had been the "Hackensack building", those trees would have stood along the west side of MainStreet south of Atlantic Street/ Warren Street. I am sure that your maps  show that there were buildings located in that area well before the trolley era and when black cars of the vintage of the auto shown were cruising  Main Street.

Regarding trolley in front of "National Grocery" (previous page of this thead), below is 105 1/2 (aka 107) which I thought was shown in Bob's image. The size is about right, but the window scheme is different.  While the building may have been modified at some point, I now doubt this is the building in Bob's picture.

Bob's picture for comparison:

Yes, the Mexican Restaurant was called El Portrero at the time of the fire. 

Mi Rancho was an earlier name of the same restaurant, perhaps a different owner. Unsure about that. They had the best red snapper, served Mexican style with a Garlic Sauce. 

The employees used to park between the railroad and the building, in a row.  One day one guy parked 6 inches too close to the train. Ooops.  I was eating in Mi Rancho sometime around 1995 when the Susquehanna roared through, and totalled 3 automobiles against the side of the building.  The one auto parked too close was the first auto, the other two were just parked at the wrong place at the wrong time.  Following that, the railroad put up a steel cable so nobody could park back there.  The worker was fired.

Just a rememberance of mine from the 60's & 70's ...

Before and up until the Mcdonalds was built on River st...(I'm not saying it was built in the 60's)... but if you were standing in the rear parking lot behind the YMCA looking south and crossed Passaic st into the parking lot that is behind the Hackensack Fruit market and Alywards and whatever else is there and in between Mcdonalds there were trolly tracks in that parking lot that were probably pulled up or paved over in the early 70's........

They would have run south from there  between the tennis courts or right over them and the stores and theaters and house's or go go bars..whatever was there at the time......

but the point being....... I remember the trolly tracks there and i my opinion thats where the trolly yard was.........

This is my kind of labor - a beautiful morning to take a walk with my cell cam and see what I can see.

I took a lot of photos and edited them down to 40, so I'm gonna have to make 4 posts of 10 images each (the maximum allowed per post).

I started at Main and E. Ward St and walked south to the courthouse, east on Court St, and north on River with a couple of slight detours.

Part 1 is all Main St:
