I used to watch the older guys playing softball there. They belonged to a league.

Jackson Heights of Yesteryear / Re: Any long time Jackson Heights residents out there?
« on: November 07, 2021, 09:05:52 AM »I lived in Elmhurst, close to Roosevelt in the 60's. Does anyone remember Savin, the discount store on Roosevelt, bet 90-91 street, or the Golden Rice Restaurant which was next door? There was a fantastic pizzeria on 90 St and Roosevelt that was amazing! They also had rotisserie chicken. Does anyone remember the (Italian) bread bakery on 90 Street,?The Dragon Seed, the one near Junction had the best butterfly shrimp with bacon. All of these places are long gone. It was a great place to grow up!I used to purchase my school supplies at Savin on Roosevelt Ave.
There was also a hobby shop next door. i think it was Gurtsenhabers. I used to by my Matchbox, Corgi cars, and model kits there.
On Northern Blvd, there was George's Hobby Shop where they would race HO cars.
