/ March 4, 2012My family owned Gebhardt’s Restaurant at 65-06 Myrtle Ave., Glendale. It was renowned for great German food at good prices. The restaurant no longer exists. People would come from far & wide, incl celebrities like Carroll O’Connor (Archie Bunker), Paul Newman, Jimmy Durante, amongst others. What a great restaurant it was!!!

/ April 3, 2012Judi, My grandparents lived above Gebhardt’s in the 1940’s till my grandfather died in the 1990’s!!!! I lived there for awhile, too. My grandmother Cecilia worked their as did many of my relatives, and my grandfather’s second wife, Elsie. 6506 Myrtle was their address. My Tante Annie worked their too and lived next to us. We’d go out the back bedroom window and over the rooftop into her back window to visit. Wonder if we knew each other or your parents…would love to correspond!

/ January 25, 2014My grandfather used to own a pharmacy called Forest Parkway Pharmacy at 8035 Jamaica Ave. until the 70’s. If I remember correctly, it intersected Woodhaven Blvd. Have been searching for pictures or information about it for quite some time without success. If anyone has a picture of this area from that time or knows where I can look to find pictures of businesses in Woodhaven, I’d greatly appreciate it.

/ April 29, 2015Does anyone remember a store called SAM’S near PS1? It was a local knockoff of the famous JOHN’S – more commonly known as “Cheap Sam’s” & “John’s Bargain Store”, respectively. ( Kids regularly snuck out of the schoolyard to go there and other places around the area — diners, candy stores, etc.) Any of this familliar?

I recall a bar somewhere in NYC that had about two inches of peanut shells on the floor…and patrons just contributed more. I guess in those days peanut allergies were uncommon (or undiagnosed).
