I’m new to this forum. Does anyone remember a dealership out on 22 called North Plainfield Dodge? I’m hoping to find an address for that business when it was there in 1970. It later became Autoworld. I have an old car that was sold at that dealership. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Gruening’s had the best ice cream! I used to get chocolate mint with marshmallow sauce. There was an excellent German bakery (anybody remember its name), which made crumb cake! My mother liked Texas Weiners, even though they weren’t kosher, which was owned by a guy who won the lottery.
Every Sunday nite, we ate “chinks” (sorry, not pc), at Lichee’s, which had the best egg rolls and spare ribs (again not kosher).
We sometimes shopped at the Surprise Shop; Teppers was a fine shop. And I ate lunch every week with my dad at the Sleepy Hollow Luncheonette on East Front Street. On Easter/Passover my Nan bought me a baby chick from Woolworth’s, where there was a fountain (counter), and pictures of a grilled cheese sandwich. There was fish dinners from Snuffy’s in Fanwood (I think); and a great pizza
from Manville. We often went to Updyke’s for the cheeseburger and onion rings. (I guess we spent a lot of time eating in the 60’s).
I preferred the Strand movie theatre over the Oxford.
My dad had a sign shop, called Schneider Signs. I loved going to his shop!
Oh, those memories of halcyon days!

The bakery you mentioned may have been Stires Bakery on Park Ave. owned by my late grandfather. wish I could find pictures of his shop which he sold in 1971.
Posted a long time ago. will ask the question again. Born and raised on Central Ave, across from Cedarbrook School. My Great grandfather and Grandfather owned Blairs Men Shop on Front Street. Looking for old photos someone might have of the store or general photos of that area before the fall. Thanks E Havens
Lived on Maplewood Terrace in the 70’s anyone remember the Sabrett hot dog truck on woodland ave parked across from the golf course ? Or sledding down the hills on the golf course when it snowed.
