179TH AND VYSE, BRONX, NY (PART XXXVII): LIFE BEFORE DEATH IN (ugh) NEW JERSEY

(continued)


JUST SAYIN'

on new year's eve 1944 mike klover and i were invited over to celebrate the birth of the new year at my father's place.  near the end of the war with the germanbastards, my father was in partnership in a small eatery on 163rd and simpson streets.   an invite there was a rare occurrence.  the staff usually had other things to do than serve freebee kids.  that place was successful because my father and his partner were good at what they did, hard working and conscientious.

me and mike were treated to their great meat sandwiches and desserts.  we used the store phone to call people and ask if they had prince albert in a can.  i know this makes no sense but we thought it was funny.
