“I’ve been doing research on Newark, specifically from about 1909-1923. My great-great grandfather apparently had a luggage factory at the corner of Seventh and Summer Streets. He was Max Naidis, and the M. Naidis Trunk & Bag company operated there during this time. It’s an empty lot now​.​”

“I would walk to school in the early 50’s. From High Street, Bank Street, and right to Courthouse Place. I knew several people in these brownstone homes. These were beautiful buildings. I’m still alive at age 77. Most of my dear friends are departed. But my memories of old Newark live on with me.”
