Hello Robin!!!!
My name is Lisa, and i grew up on Shrewsbury St. as well..
I lived there till i was 20,and went to the Grafton Hill area..My Maiden name is
Loverro,and i lived on Lyon Street till i moved away, i was born & raised there,and have lots of my own fond memories as well.
There are 7 kids in my family,and i am number 6.. i am 46 years old,and still in the Grafton St area..i sometimes visit the old neighborhood occasionally, and its not what it use to be..and its too bad..
I lived across the street from the barrel company..do you remember that place?
I was on the last house on the right, corner of Lyon & Albany Street..lived across the sand pit too..lol
My whole family worked at the Parkway Diner for years, everyone but my dad,and i learned lots from them by working there ,and today i am a Food Service Manager at a Nursing home, so i have the Parkway Diner to thank for all the cooking experience i learned..
I remember when Joe Viscosi had his store on Shrewsbury St,and When the Manzi's ran a supermarket on the corner of shrewsbury,and cross st.
We also had Steve's spa who had the best lemonade you could ever get, and Toscano's Market ..those were the good ole days,and we will never get them back..
Did you ever know anybody who lived on Lyon St.? Let me know if you do..
Take care of yourself..
Ciao..
Lisa
