  1. Hello from a native Essex boy. My name is Charlie Kostos, I grew up at 11 Homberg Ave & worked at Raymond’s Men’s Store on Eastern Ave in Essex . I thought that Mac Donald’s opened on New Eastern ave between Stemmers Run school
    & Middlesex Shopping Center back in the 60’s ?? Does anyone remember ? Thanks I remember Hollywood Park and a lot of great memories

    1. Hi Charlie!

      I was born in 1940 at Old Eastern Ave. about 1/4 mile from Josenhand’s corner. My first job as a stock boy at S. S. Kresge’s variety store in Middlesex Shopping Center, between from 1956 to 1958. I’m thinking of visiting soon again for a lot of memories I had up to about 1969.

    2. There was definitely a Gino’s there. I think it was Gino’s #1. #2 was on Pulaski Highway near the City line.

    3. Hi Charlie…it was a Gino’s in front of Stemmers Run. One of the earliest fast food joints…it may have become a Mcdonalds subsequently. Nice to know you are alive and kicking. Larry Vincent, also a Raymond’s alumni.

      1. I believe I remember the Gino’s from the 70’s. I don’t think there was a McDonald’s in that spot. It’s been a Dunkin’ Donuts for decades.

      2. The one in front of Stemmers Run was Golden Point. The Gino’s was on the other side of Stemmers Run Road where Dunkin Donuts is now. My cousin, Buddy, also worked at Raymond’s. He bought him out, closed Essex store and changed the name of the Harundale Mall Store.

    4. My sister was born in 1946 she went to the Hollywood Club every weekend she’s 9yrs older than me. She has very fun memories of it. I lived in Essex from 1974-1997

      2. Hi! I moved to Essex in 1982 and left for California 1986! I haven’t been back since.
        It was so fun to go to bars and hop on a boat and go out to Miller/Heart Island and sleep on the boat.
        I worked at Al’s Tavern and Polka Inn, dive bars but loved everyone I served.

    5. The McDonald’s was just passed Middlesex toward Essex. It is a Season’s Pizza now.

  2. anyone remember going to Al’s Tavern on Pulaski Hwy and Polka Inn! Dive arms I worked at but it was fun!
