Guest Guest Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I love this thread, especially the South siders memories. On Park Ave, Hershey's was actually Holtmans Grocery. Mrs. Holtman lived in the house attached to the storefront. Up the street was Mike's barbershop which I believe is still in business. Next up was devine's store with an awesome real soda fountain and a root beer barrell in the front window with the best root beer you ever had. Mrs. Devine lived a few doors up the street and would walk to the store every day. On the corner of Park Ave and Hotchkiss Street was the White Star market, with Mr. Shea, who always had a cigar in his mouth and one of the best butcher shops around. And of course the Penna. Ave Market owned by the three Faughnan brothers. Those were the days when you could go to any of the stores, get what you needed and pay later. What a great old neighborhood!

You forgot Bill Copp who had the Park Avenue Market right next door to the Vallanella Twins across from the White Star! I remember all of the places you mentioned as I grew up on that block of Park Ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that trashy store I think it was called Emmet's? It was across from where Nip's is now. They tore it down to build a Harris Foodlines. The building is now a club.

I remember all of the places you mentioned as I grew up on that block of Park Ave. Thganks for the reminder....you are correct. I got stuck on the other side of the street and forgot about the other store. Sadly, the beginning of the end for these stores was when the Giant built their store on the old Lonfellow School site, and Harris Foodlines opened up on Park Ave where the Knights of Columbus is now.
