Monsey Storefront
Despite being off this week I had to drive in to work today to get my paycheck. So, on the way in I visited the small hamlet of Monsey, NY. As a child I remember this as a small hardware store and luncheonette where the counterman still wore whites and a white paper fry cook hat and made great chocolate milk. After my family moved away and the neighborhood became predominantly Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish the store remeined but the luncheonette became a kosher dairy restaurant. Both now sit vacant.
