On either corner of York and Main St were the Darcangelo and La Russa family grocery stores. Below on the right was the Rizzelli candy store. Across the street was John Mauro's Italian social club.Further down near Front St was Frank Ucci's and Al's restaurant (his last name fails me.) And finally the DiGangi's Bakery near the Zerega macaroni factory. We still have fond memories of the camaraderie and close relationships we shared and enjoyed during those golden years we were growing up. We were broken hearted when the Brooklyn Queens Expressway was developing breaking up our neighborhoods and forcing us all to move! Our sincerest thanks for enabling us to relive so many treasured photo memories that we may continue to cherish during our golden years.

Check out how the corner of Front and Main was decked in wood buildings as late as 1926. Are we just mesmerized by sepia, or does the patchy slew of low-rise tenements look more appealing than the brawny walruses currently mooning there?

Today's view would be a parking lot running across both blocks (there's no more main street running south from Front). Right.
