This week I attended another VIP Community Services Friday Morning Breakfast Club, a weekly support/inspirational meeting for addicts in recovery. Tatiana was in attendance, and had brought her mother, Rosemarie, for Mother's Day. She again read her poem, which you can read here: poem.
I wanted to hear Rosemarie's perspective on Tatiana's addiction. "When she was in college, I thought she was depressed, not high. She would just stay in her room." As the addiction worsened things in the house started going missing, candy money the other children would collect. "I did lose trust in her. I finally ended up locking the door to the house. Locking her out." Asked if she trusted her now, they exchanged looks, and Rosemarie, through tears, said, "Yes, I am beginning to. It's going to take time though."
"As a parent, no matter how many years you say it's not your fault, you still kind of feel it is. It takes a while, but I am happy she's here. It got bad."

This 171,000 sq. ft. Kmart on Bruckner Boulevard in the Soundview section of the Bronx has a long history. It was built as Korvette's, then became a TSS-Seedman's (Times Square Store), then a second Bronx location for Alexanders, a Caldor and now a Kmart. Every transition was brought about by the bankruptcy of the previous tenant.
Korvette's and TSS-Seedman's were both members of the first wave of giant discount department stores like Two Guys, which were started in the 1960's.
Alexanders was a legendary New York/New Jersey institution, famous for enormous stores filled with off-price designer clothes. The stores catered to the working and middle-class Jewish, Irish and Italian consumers in the Bronx. It later followed its customers and built stores in the suburbs of NJ and Long Island. (My aunt was crazy about Alexander's and with 6 kids, she used to swear by its low prices)
The Bruckner store you see here was one of 6 Alexander stores in New York which were bid on by both Bradlees and Caldor after Alexander's bankruptcy in 1992. Caldor won the bidding, and the 6 stores.
The store opened as Caldor after a brief renovation in 1993, and closed with the chain in their 1999 liquidation. Kmart picked it up, along with many other stores and has operated here ever since. It still retains the trademark Caldor dual-entryway.
The store is a 2-level Kmart, complete with shopping cart escalators, and is a constant madhouse due to the lack of big-box competition in the city. Walmart has tried, for the past 10 years, to build stores in New York City, but the city council thwarts them every time due to the poor quality jobs they are infamous for. In 2010, Walmart secured a spot in a rare new big-box center in Brooklyn, but the city council forced the developers to lease to locally-owned ShopRite instead.

Addeo Bakery in the Little Italy 🇮🇹 of the Bronx is a family-owned business that has been in operation since 1929. This historic Italian 🇮🇹bread 🍞 #bakery is run by the 3rd-generation brothers, Laurence and Tommy Addeo. We absolutely love ❤️ its beautiful #script #handpainted sign and their Pane di Casa, an oval white Italian bread that is made from what Laurence described to us as "a long-term dough that takes as much as 8 hours of preparation in fermentation, scaling and proofing before it even goes into the oven". •We visited both locations of @addeobakers yesterday (this shop is on Arthur Avenue and their main bakery operation is on nearby Hughes Avenue) as we live-streamed our walk around @bronxlittleitaly and supported many small including Addeo, where we found out that they now bake a whole wheat Pane di Casa (swipe left for 2nd photo) which just like their original white bread was absolutely delicious!
