Willingboro, NJ

 

 

Fran, who lived in Willingboro, and I had dinner in Edgewater Park, NJ at the Armadillo Steakhouse & Saloon Restaurant.

4167 U.S. 130

This restaurant was closed around 2000 and torn down around 2003. It no longer exists. There is now a Wawa gas station in its place. The Wawa serves sandwiches but it is not a sit down restaurant

We lived in Willingboro for a few years.

I lived next door to Mitchell.

Mitchell's house was 'The Jamestown' at Country Club Ridge

Our house, 'The Framingham' at Country Club Ridge

Climbed into Mitchell's Dad's car and put it into neutral. It crashed.

Painted their garage without permission.

   

Mitchell and Fran had houses in the Rittenhouse Park development.

It is in his house I first learned about cable television and Home Box Office.

Mitchell lived in the 'Earlham' house with brothers, mother and step-dad.

Fran lived on Rockland Drive.

 

 

Our family stood in a long ass line to see a movie such as 'Jaws' and 'Star War' at the Eric theatre in the Village Mall, Woolco center.

I wish I could have collected a bag of trash from that theatre and store it for 33 years. Cool to lookback....Ok who had the popcorn and nonpareills?


Mitchell and I saw that movie where chickens grew to be bigger than houses at a movie theatre near Goodyear.

'The Food of the Gods'

Summer1976 - 18 June 1976

Opened in March 1961 in what was then known as Levittown, NJ. Twinned in the 1970's and torn down in the 1980's. This was the first theater in South Jersey to have 70mm projection.


Mitchell's brother John worked at Goodyear.

"Ask a friend about Firestone, Firestone......Firestone ♫ "

We (family) went to Holiday Lake a few times.

 

Location of a "bread box" bank as dad called it.

"Why would anyone store their money there"

   
My dad had two offices in Willingboro, NJ

One is now the location of a Commerce Bank and fast food.

 

Dad got all prescriptions filled at the East Park Pharmacy

I remember the raised office between the entrance and exit at the front of the store.

It was established in 1967

320 Beverly Rancocas Rd # 1D

Willingboro, NJ 08046-3498

 

Country Club Plaza

 

I sadly shoplifted from them a few times. (And not as a kid, kidding)

 

Loft's Candies at the Willingboro Plaza

I shopped at Cutler Camera in the Willingboro Shopping plaza.

Saw a Wizard of Oz play there.

"No lady it is not dry ice. It is a fire extinguisher"

My brother was born in the hospital there.

 

That building on 130 that everyone knows, with the slanted roof? That used to be a Levittmark home furnishings store, that also sold exclusive parts for the houses.

Former Levittown Exhibit center.

I believe this was Pomeroy's. (January 5, 2004)

Sadly, Tug McGraw died today.

         
      Wee Willie Weber died at 80 in 2010.

I loved him in the day.

 

 

 

Ron Lived in Garfield East, 67-73. I loved the Fox theater and remember everything about it. I remember the Asian lady who worked the concession counter. I remember the 10-cent soda machine where the cup would drop behind a clear glass door, then ice would be dropped in then the soda. I remember the penny scale in the men's room that gave you your fortune. I loved the Plaza, it was a haven.

 

Fox Theatre ?

Country Club Ridge by Levitt and Sons, Inc

 

 

The Earlham at Rittenhouse Park. Both Mitchell and Fran owned one of these houses. Fran's on Rockland drive.
