Im not sure if he is still there though. I was in there once (the original) in the very early 80’s I was a kid and dont remember it very well.I want to say it was just down past Bronxdale on the avenue going toward White Plains rd. I will find out the exact address. Give me a few minutes.
From what I can figure out it was in the 700 block area between Garfield and Taylor.
dinoI saw this Too in the News Times…trid to track down the Guy…No Luck. Someone in the family passed away and they closed the place down.No Luck on Google image search either…..Try posting on the Hamb.- http://www.jalopyjournal.com LOT of old contacts there!
