Looking at the map on this page I remember that my grandfather was 26 years old and was living at 72 Montrose Ave. when he and my grandmother from 148 Johnson Ave. were married. They were both born in Burgio, Sicilly. After marriage they opened a grocery store at 145 Scholes Street. When the Williamsburg Houses were built my grandfather bought a house at 605 Kosciusko Street. I was born on Kosciusko St in 1946.

The Dollar Store is now at the location of College Plaza Twin Cinemas. A new facade is under construction of the entire shopping center.

Jayar1 commented about Rio Piedras Theatre on Jun 16, 2010 at 3:04 pm

Built for Leo Teller, the architect was J. B. McElfatrick. It opened March 21, 1904 with “Babes in Toyland.” Drama critic Robert Grau, in 1909, referred to the Broadway as “the best suburban theatre in America.” You can catch a glimpse of it, as the Rio Piedras, in “The French Connection."
