Main Street Picture, Today's Record
« on: August 09, 2010, 11:06:54 PM »
Hi All.

Bob and I are wondering if anyone can place this.  The caption indicates Main Street, Hackensack but we're not convinced.  

Thanks for taking a look. Click image to enlarge/contract.

Ok.  Bob got in touch with the Library/archivist for North Jersey Media.  While they were researching their files for more information on the image, Bruce the Bed King called them.  Turns out that Bruce's family owned a store called Wieners shown in the picture. We followed up with Bruce's people and got the scoop.

In the above picture, the building on the far left is "Sherby's," an army/navy store.  The car in the foreground is making a left from Demarest Place, now a pedestrian pathway to the bus transfer station.  Sherby's is now the Harwood Lloyd Law Firm.  Other stores seen are Bergen Arts and Crafts, Vogue, Riker's Wines, Shepards Clothes, Garafano or Carafano Curtains and Dairymaid. Below is a picture of the current location. If you look closely, you can see the fire boxes in the same location.  You also notice how office space totally changed the look and feel of the block.

Thanks to Bob and everyone else who pinned this down.
