Yeah...My uncle used to have a diner/luncheonette on South Orange Ave years ago and they would go in there from time to time...
He said they were very respectful(for what it's worth) but batshit crazy.


So that's why he had the book. We're all originally from Vailsburg. My dad grew up there. We moved out in 1971 just before I would have had to go to school there. Lived on Poe Avenue. My grandfather had a Barber Shop on South Orange Ave, right near where Pauls Tavern was. My dad owned a beauty salon on S.O. Ave in the village for years. I remember Grunnings was a great place to eat. The Chickens Nest had great potato pancakes.
