I was born in Rosebank in 1924. As a kid we would take the trolleycar down to Stapelton or St. George
to see a movie and 5 acts of vaudville, plus Don
Baker at the organ! What wonderful memories I have
of those days. I now live in Pennsylvania (Yardley)
but my parents and brother are buried on the Island,
so I do get back every once in a while. It makes me
sad to see how the Island has deteriorated over the
course of my lifetime. I’m glad I lived in the “glory
days” even though the country was in a depression.
Does anyone remember the name of the ice cream
parlor that was a few doors from the Paramount on
Bay St? It was wonderful to go there after attend-
ing the movies. Wish I could turn back the hands of
time
