The New York Whines | January 18 2019

[cherry]

my sister went to Nazareth.

[Mears]

I’ll be darned-—when my cousin went to Nazareth I visited a couple of times and loved it.

I'm in Rochester NY and we're supposed to get anywhere from 6" to 24" of snow from the same storm.

Same here in the Syracuse area. Only we're expecting 18"-24".

[metmom]

They did and I’m not happy to be forced to use the globull warming champions.

[metmom]

Where my son is in NH they’re expecting a couple feet easily.

[oh8eleven]

Buffalo gets all the headlines, but Syracuse gets all the snow.

[metmom]

Nobody micromanages the citizenry quite like California.

NYS is giving it the old college try.

[metmom]

Monday is MLK Day anyways.

No school here to cancel cause they are already off.

[Mears]

I have a son in NH also——same thing,lots of snow.

My mother went to Nazareth Academy High School in Rochester, back in the late 30’s. I am surprised that it’s still running. There’s even a Nazareth Elementary School.

[mass55th]

Back when we lived there, everyone knew everybody on the block. We kids all played together, and were taught to respect our elders. And back then, we never locked our doors at night. We had Henchen's Bowling Alley less than five minutes away. There was also Oddo's Dairy/Fountain Shoppe, where you could go in, sit at the counter, and order a banana split, milk shake, ice cream soda, hot fudge sundae...whatever you wanted. Even the neighborhood pharmacy had it's own soda fountain section. Then there was Grassi's Dry Good store, with all sorts of great things for kids. We used to go to the old Lincoln Theater on Jay Street. My mother would give us a quarter. It would cost us 15 cents to get in, and 10 cents for a box of popcorn.

There was also a neighborhood grocery/meat store run by an old Italian couple. They had every kind of penny candy you could want, plus comic books galore. We weren't too far from the Hostess Cupcake Factory which was just off Murray Street...near Lyell Avenue. They had an outlet shoppe there, and we used to go get packages of cupcakes for a nickel, and of course they were much bigger then. The smell of baking bread would permeate the neighborhood. Schuler's Potato Chips wasn't that far either, and we used to be able to smell them cooking the potatoes in the oil. Back then a bag of chips cost 5 cents. Still remember Neisner's, Woolworth's, Sibley's and McCurdy's back in the good, old days. We never had a car so either walked or took the bus to get where we wanted to go. Great memories. Glad I was born at that time.

[mass55th]

Stay safe, and warm. I’m heading out in a little while to pick up some groceries. I usually don’t go anywhere on the weekends anyway, so if it snows...who cares.

[freedomlover]

That is just one of the many terrible things about the South.
It’s too hot.
They don’t know how to drive on snow.
They don’t know how to drive.
You can’t find a good bagel.
You can’t find a good pizza.
The house prices have gotten so high because of all the Yankees moving down here.

[ladyjane]

Keep telling those Yankees how horrible the south is. Please!

We weren't too far from the Hostess Cupcake Factory which was just off Murray Street...near Lyell Avenue.
I vaguely remember that ... or maybe just remember one of the many bakeries on Lyell.
For many years now, Lyell has been the hub for prostitution.
What a shame.

[metmom]

True.

Syracuse’s average annual snowfall is greater than Buffalo.

[mass55th]

"For many years now, Lyell has been the hub for prostitution. What a shame."

That is a shame. I remember Tent City was over there. There used to be a Star Market, and Loblaw's across from each other on Lyell. If there wasn't anything good playing at the Lincoln Theater on the weekends, we'd walk out to the Lyell Theater that was in a strip mall on Lyell and Mt. Read Blvd.

[VTenigma]

I’m saying Tues, Wed, and Thurs, when we are due another 20”. They may not close school if it come slow enough.

[VTenigma]

Thanks, 50 to 60” predicted for the week.

the Lyell Theater that was in a strip mall on Lyell and Mt. Read Blvd.
Back in the 80s, the place to go to see X-rated movies was the Lyell Theater. It disappeared in the early 90s.
Tent City was a great place to buy almost anything for the outdoors. It's long gone too.
