Thank you TONY :) …and it just so happens that in my best childhood friend’s possession are most the 45’s (which are like 40yrs. old now) in her basement — the music still sounds good — they just played that music on PBS — “My Music, My Generation”. She is holding onto a goldmine I believe. Thanks again for remembering the name of that corner shop.
…btw…do you by any chance remember the Scheinfeld clothing stores over there?
Thanks for posting about Willie’s — you’re so right!!! — the best hot dogs and knishes on the face of the earth —in Middle Village anyway :) About Zweibel’s — I’m not sure. However what I do remember that at the very corner down from Willie’s was I where I always brought my 45’s — oh the memories :). Again — thanks for posting about Willie’s. …and yes — I know this is a website about the Arion Theatre, but one hand washes the other — it’s nice to reminice back in the ole neighborhood where the Arion once stood.
The Arion (“The Itch”) ….I grew up in Middle Village on Furmanville Ave.—it was safe as young kid back then to go to the movies on a Saturday afternoon with friends. Elvis & Ann Margaret movies, King Kong vs. Godzilla movies (……yes…the matron shined that flashlight in my eyes and told me if I did'nt stop crying I would have to leave). My friends would make fun of me all the way walking back home. Great memories.
:) You’re one in a million Tony— the Scheinfeld’s were fantastick people, as well as their in store help (businesses today should be that good).
With holidays around the corner — I will be visiting Metropolitan Ave. in Middle Village.
Loved sharing the memories.
