Mrs. Bachmeier writes about her memory of the 1950s:
”I lived on Burnet Street 1951, went to Burnet Street School – later moved to Orange Street around 1958. Left around 1963…
”Even today after all that time I still see Orange Street the way it used to be: It was a very busy and lived place. There used to be a diner on the corner of Burnet and Orange Streets, The Orange Bar & Grill. Jimmy’s Barber Shop. Rocco’s Pizza & Restaurant. Schickhaus meat packing. There was the candy store on the corner of Broad and Orange Streets.
“Five years ago, my husband took me down to see the area. [….] I was in shock to see what had happened. I can’t believe where I used to live is now a gated parking lot. It was sad. I guess it’s true: ’you can’t go home again.'”
