You could order huge trays of mussels with good spicy garlicky tomato sauce and a basket of bread for very little money. I miss the Italian bakeries as well, come to think of it. Remember how pizza places just reeked of olive oil and you could taste it in the pizza? I miss that a lot. Then there's places like Johnny and Hanges in Paterson with hot dogs all the way, and Clixies, in Glen Rock. I only found out last year that Clixie is a relative of mine. And Shortway's Barn? On Goffle Road and Lafayette Avenue? Found out I'm related to them too. Shortway was Americanized from the Dutch name Cortweg. My brother is a city councilman in Hawthorne now so I get updated regularly. Did you know a teacher/principal in Glen Rock named Carol Frank, or her daughter Marybeth Frank?

I was within an easy walk of Glen Rock, near Rock Road. Paterson's been downtrodden for a long time, since the silk mills started closing down. We were very close neighbors, then John.

I miss north jersey food all the time, but not the traffic, expenses, etc. And I love Paterson even if it's downtrodden. I grew up in Glen Rock, and over the years lived in Clifton and North Haledon.

I can get most of that right here at home...

Lots of silver-haired men with expensive watches on, who appear to be escorting their beautiful daughters (but the women are not their daughters); lots of drunken, flag waving young men (and the flags are Columbian or German or Italian, and not stars & bars like at NASCAR!) chanting and singing in an adversarial way; and lots of fellows from all over the US who fly in for the weekend to finally see and HEAR a 19,000 rpm Formula One engine at full song.... I have had many interesting converations in the grandstands, as the Saturday whiles away, with folks like that. By way of sayin' - it's ALL good!! No no no -

No American cars, only one American driver and last year he crashed on the first turn of the first lap of the only race they run in the USA... Formula 1's czar is a Brit who refuses to stay in Indianapolis when they run there because it's just too provincial for him and insists on taking his helicopter up to Chicago where they have hotels up to his standard, as a native Hoosier I say (expletive deleted) him... the cars don't touch and rarely pass, they are so fragile that if half of the starters are left running it's a lot... and, once again, who can ya pull for? given a choice of F1 at the Brickyard or a good ARCA race at Salem I'd take Salem.

SO maybe this is the best solution - posting in the day-old threads, and leaving the fresh-baked ones for the best customers!
