In addition:
-Rockwood Hair Stylist
-The Delicatessen (adjacent to Rockwood
Hair Stylist)
- Chip n' Dales ( Later known as CBS

| Shaina:
Meats-n-Treats was on the corner of 156 and Cross Bay.....Later it was occupied by a relocated Home Federal savings bank which was originally squeezed in a small storefront adjacent to the Sunoco Gas Station and Duvalls Bakery one block down at 157th Ave. Blockbuster video sits there now.
How about:
Cross Bay Bowling Lanes
A&P
Glicks Kosher Deli
Waldbaums (at the old site on Cross Bay)
Texaco gas station where Ragtime Deli is now.

| Remember Bond Motors.
An Oldsmobile dealership?
It was used as a location in the 1984 movie, "The Flamingo Kid" with Matt Damon. |

I do remember the Bond Oldsmobile Dealership and I remember the movie "Flamingo Kid". I had no idea a scene was filmed there. Cross bay Blvd used to have several car dealerships... I think they are all gone now...
Honda
Oldsmobile
Buick (up by Pitkin Ave)
Pontiac (across from Buick, by Pitkin Ave)

| Acrossed the street from Kiddieland was a really old bar called Andy's Pavillion. I t was on Hawtree creek right next to the wooden bridge.
There was a vacant lot near the batting cages and the trampolines. They used to have carnivals in that lot. |

| Just thought of a few more stores. The original "Lonnie's". (great clothing store when we were teenagers)
I also recall a club/bar down the blvd. before the bridge called "The Little Cricket" in the late 70's. I believe it burned down. (????) |

| i think even before the bowling alley there was a movie theatre. of course the Bow Wow was the neighborhood favorite. also there was Rookie's sports bar, and Carousel Delites. And the former RomaView was Tony Roma's ribs. You can't forget that. |
