I remember the Marbro and the nice shopping area near it pretty well. I have a question for anyone who lived near that area in the 1960s:
Back then there was a small pizzeria on the 4400 block of W. Madison St. named Sorrento’s (on the north & even side of the street). They had GREAT pizza. The gentleman who ran it (presumably his last name was “Sorrento”) also had a brother who ran another Sorrento’s, also on the north & even side of Madison St., east of Austin Blvd. (maybe the 5800 block?).
Does anyone know what happened to their pizza restaurants? When the neighborhood crime rose dramatically, they moved out, and I’m pretty sure the one on the 4400 block of Madison St. was gone by 1968 or 1969. I was curious if they relocated (as opposed to just going out of business), and if they are maybe in business in some form today.
