to louieb…I just found this site and see that the comments are a few years old (2006) but thought I would try to respond anyway. louieb, I saw your comment on going to Friel’s for pizza on Myrtle Ave. I used to live on Myrtle and Nostrand/Sandford and went to Alberto’s pizza, we lived upstairs from the resturant, but went to Friel’s when he retired/closed. We went every Friday for pizza. That pizza was some of the best we ever had. This was late ‘40’s early '50’s.
Went to the State every Sat to see double feature and loads of cartoons for $.25!!! My mother got dishes there too… What a great place that was. I won a coloring contest there early ‘50’s, 1st prize around Easter. It was a big pink and white bunny. I had the measles or something and didn’t go when they announced the winner. They somehow contacted us and brought the prize to my house!!! Wow, 1st prize…
Anyhow, just wanted to respond to your comment about Friel’s…wish we could get pizza like that today. It had an oregano kind of taste, very different from anything through the years…
Hope you’re still around to answer back…bye louieb
