Last week was final week my parents will be at the old shoe repair in over 50 years. It’s bitter sweet knowing the old plaza will be gone. I grew up spending my days in the old pool hall and movie theater, sneaked quarters out the register to get a some brownies at DeLascias bakery or play games at the Saturn II arcade and of course riding my bike at the old bmx track and jumping the fence of pool out back of the plaza. First hair cut was at Reggie’s old barber shop. That shop was a second home to me, walking there from Roosevelt or east middle after school. So thanks to my mom and dad for giving me a great place to grow up and have a great childhood. I hope the area does come back with what ever is planned
