I bet some snow would not have stopped this guy...we have not had any mail service all week!
Under 6?
Well there will be protests, and kindergarten classes on strike.
Yes. This is my grandfather's Bronx NY store from the early 1930's.
Really?! Wow, thanks for posting it.
Looks like he was doing alright during the depression.
It's really an epic story. He supported extended family and many in the neighborhood with food who could not find work. In return they helped at the store and his few properties. His generosity and local community support combined with his toughness meant that even the local mafia gave him a pass. At 6'4" 250lbs he feared no one and was respected by all. True story. I never got to know him as he died when I was 8 months old.
