I'd leave St. Rita HS (it was still on 63rd St. then), take the 63rd St. Bus to Pulaski, and before walking home to 59th Street, I stop at J&R to see what was new. There was always something that I wanted to buy. Sometimes, if I had the money, I'd make the purchase. Other times, I have to wait a while till I had more money. I haven't been in J&R since the 70s. I din't even know it was still open. I am sorry to see it going away. Another bit of history leaving the area. Too bad I live in GA or I'd find a way to stop in before they close. Good luck for your future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990283675406494072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603719643814372786.post-83338839929068273702012-09-21T01:09:17.563-05:002012-09-21T01:09:17.563-05:00There was a for sale sign out front for the longes...There was a for sale sign out front for the longest time.
