Monseyers, who remembers Ave J stores? In the Pathmark Shopping Mall? And also a lingerie/Robe store that opened up next door for a short while? In my kiddie eyes that was a HUGE store!

Tiferes Fruit Store, the Old Zishes Bakery where Monsey Shoes is now. Trading Post, I used to Drool over the Hello Kitties and Hi Bearys. Elzee was there for a minute. And Leg Hose, who remembers the OLD OLD lady that used to work there? I was always sure she's 120 years old!

Weingarten Shoes used to be Next to Monsey Takeout where there's a Robe Store now- Monsey Housewares where Nussys is now, the Old Mr and Mrs. Nagel Smile

They knew exactly where everything was in the store. There was also a fish store in the back of Hatzlachas Old Grocery where Kuppas Ezra is now, I remember going to pick something up and there was fish blood on the floor and you had to walk on Plywoods on the floor.

Also in Eidensohns basement you walkled from room to room to room to find your cloths, it was like a maze. estis English imports was the "fancy" Store, Shaindys clothing was by the atrium- We used to go to the chiropractor in that strip mall so I used to check out Shaindys. we never shopped there because it was too expensive. Your home and Photo Center was also in that strip, later changed names to housewares and beyond. Sappersteins was also there at one point, not sure if just a purim store or if they had a regular store there. I also had memories of some sort of restaurant in that strip mall as well, I was really young though, Maybe it was called CO-OP? I have to ask my mom.

There was also Ave "R" Cafe where baby elaine is now, my husband took me there when I was pregnant with my first and I vomited all the food (haha) The Old Tuvias store was legendary- there was also a huge ladies shoe store at one point next to Tuvias, I got shoes for my sisters wedding there.

Who remembers rabinowitz robe store in the house on Dr. Frank? The store would be jam packed erev Pesach it was a tiny basement. They're the nicest people. Oh, and I just reminded myself that the LIngerie store next to Pathmark was called. UNDERWORLD. LOL, what a name.

WOw this was a therapy session for me almost. I did not have a great childhood, yet I'm so Nostalgic....

Can we do memories of our hometown as well, besides for stores?

BP memories in this order:
Who remembers Sury Feldman’s missing and her homecoming?
Who remembers Gideon Bash was killed for holding a hammer?
Who remembers the search for Leiby Kletzky?
Who remembers Rubashkin’s arrival from prison and the dancing on the street?

How about the 'talking fish'?
And the non-kosher meat scandal in Monsey?

I can’t believe you wrote H&d grocery. I thought about it writing it but felt like no one would even know what that is . Along with that, I remember the fruit store on the corner across the street, and paskez , and wonderland , and Brauners baker, Rishons pizza with $7 pies…. My childhood …

Now anyone familiar with the area knows where I grew up 😃

Was H&D on 13 and 54? Thats Mega53 now.

Anyone remember MiniMode hair salon?

Harniks!! I really liked that store as a kid.
J Stores used to be somewhere around there on Ave J too.
Kool kids by Fran or something like that
Chaimowitz
Netanya Pizza
Figaro hair salon

Remember all those, but Figaro, wow! Forgot about them. Before we moved to Flatbush, one of the workers, Susan, used to come to our house to cut our hair.

Mini Temptations was my biggest temptation in those days . Loved that store . I used to dream of owning a store just like that .
Mendelsohns and Mendels pizza both had pizza for $1 a slice with a free cup of punch. Why does it cost me $75 for two pies and a fries nowadays ?

Anyone from Canarsie or Remsen Village? Remember (I can’t remember the name of the pizza store now) the pizza store on Ralph in that little corner? I remember there were two prices, one chalav yisroel and one not.

And Kosher City.

What was the name of the store that used to be where pomegranate is. Was it Kosher Discount?

Yes, there was KDS, Kosher Discount Supermarket, but they didn’t last long and there was someone else before them.

Speaking of flea markets, what about Caesars Bay Bazar?

Anyone else remember going to Richies for shoes? Where was it?
