Does anyone know the name of the Italian grocery store that was across the boulevard from Isaly's in the 1970's/1980's? By the way, my Father, Joe Klos was the owner of Klos Meat Market at 702 Brookline Boulevard.
Thanks,,

Hello,

When I was a kid on Fordham Ave, I would hear the Toner boys playing a march on the hill oppposite our house. I think it was a drum and bugle corp. Does anyone know the name of the march they played?

This last week I came upon a recording of someone playing the march but couldn't find it when I later looked.

Wonderful pages! I was born and raised in Brookline (Lynnbrook Ave), went to Ressi, South Catholic (for 2 years) then to Pitt (commuter). Left in 78 for eastern PA but never forget Pittsburgh and Brookline are my home. The pictures on these pages brought back great memories, but also evoked some sadness seeing the demolition at Ressi of the buildings where I went to school with all my boomer classmates when catholic schools still thrived. Hope you keep these pages going and add more pictures and memories for all current and old Brookliners to see and wax nostalgic over. THANK YOU!

Hello! Very nice website. On your page about Forbes Field, the pictures of the Pirates hosting the Expos at Forbes Field seems to be May 1970, not June as indicated. The reason is the umpire appears to be Satch Davidson, who was there in May but not June. Also, the first baseman is Al Oliver, who played first base in the May games but not in the June games.

Thanks for the insight and correction.

Hi -- I was born in Brookline and raised in Bethel Park and although I haven't lived there for over 30 years it still feels like home. I love, love, love reading all the history you've accumulated. The stories, the facts, the pictures: every bit of it is a treasure!

Thanks for all the efforts to create and maintain this site!
