I grew up in the Weequahic section and
my mother and grandmother owned the first maternity shop...located
on Lyons Ave...near Elizabeth Ave.....next to a candy store and
Henrietta's beauty salon...there was a Mikvah next door and a beautiful
old stone church across the street....I loved being in Newark...the
memories have never tarnished.....we used to eat at Kartzmans....and
buy our lox and bagels on Saturday night at Tabatchnicks....it smelled
so good...from the pickles in the barrels....and next door was Kayes
drug store...and Lehr's tobacco shop...and the fancy Elsie stone
dress shop...does anyone remember this....please write and let me
know...I feel sad when I remember my beautiful childhood in Newark....
