I remember the German Deli and in the late 40s & early 50s there was a butcher. I think it was Sam's. and then he moved to Church Ave., between E 5th and Ocean Parkway. Sorry, I go back a long way. The happiest days of my life Lived on East 5th between Beverly & Ave. C
And if you keep going around the bend toward McDonald Ave. there was what we called the OK diner, which we thought was owned by Papa Gallo and the Gallo brothers all hung out there. We used to stop there on our way home from school and I remember Joey opening up the juke box, so we could hear whatever records we wanted.

Chinese Hand Laundry
Wasn't that the Fox Driving School and Insurance before it was a Chinese Laundry?

I think the laundry was on the corner and Fox was in between the laundry and the German Deli (where the Homestead crew worked)
