I can recall some of these,maybe one out of four,but I was born in 1952.Amazing how many have come and gone.Early in the 60's an eatery called the Barbecue Pit was where Ponzetti's is now (I think).My family went there as much as I go to Ponzetti's now.
ReplyDeleteI remember most of these. I was born in 1947. my older sister actually worked at "The Pit". they cooked burgers and steaks on a very large open flame pit and it was wonderful...
ReplyDeleteThe armory *is* the library. Same building with a facade on it.
ReplyDelete/Was that not the Charcoal Pit???
