Back in the late 70's and early 80's, my brother Pete who was married with 2 kids worked for the Rosens. Now a retired police officer and in his 60's. We lived near Warnock & Laudon, which basically was around the corner from the bakery. He always spoke highly of the Rosens. He taught him much about the bakery business, especially how to make those amazing bagels. The Rosens were very generous, and it wasn't uncommon for my brother to bring home some bakery goods every-now-and-then on the weekends. My brother Pete always mentioned to me how grateful he was to Mr. Rosen for giving him a job during a tough period in his life. I suspect Mr. Rosen is now in heaven. What a great example of service and a wonderful contributor to the community.
Marty Rosen was a GREAT Bakery Instructor at Murrell Dobbins Voc-Tech High School in the late 1970's-early 80's! He taught baking and ran a bake shop at the school!
No I was in the Restaurant Practice class which was down the hall from the bakery but I was always in his class picking up pastries for out staff cafeteria. Mr. Rosen always taught me something whenever I went to his class! Those were great times!@@RitaPoley
My grandparents lived at 708 W. Wyoming Ave for almost 50 years and finally left in the 1980's. Many happy memories visiting them growing up. Yes, we could let a ball roll from the back of the living room to the front and out the door. Eventually their house was condemned as part of "the triangle" a few years after they left.
My dad lived on Franklin st, if I remember right, right next to fisher park. My MomMom would talk about going to the movie theatres constantly. She loved the old neighborhood. She and I would always talk about it. She lived in the best times, she’d always say. She was born in 1925. She grew up in Kensington but raised my dad in and lived in Olney from after the war until 1975 probably and then moved to northeast off rsvlt Blvd. my great grandma born in 1906 I knew until I was 12. She worked at tastykakes from 1947 to 1964 and got one of my dads best friends from the neighborhood his job and he retired in 2021 from there. Something else back then.
This is great, my parents brought their first house on the 4700 of 8th St in 1974. We lived there until December 1991. We were some of the last to leave. Due to the sinking homes situation. I still feel it’s my home.
Not sure when my parents moved in, but it had to be before I was born 1973. I lived in Logan for 35 years, it was a nice neighborhood when I was younger. My block stayed and still is very nice. 4600 CAMAC ST. This is good to see
Most of my mother's family lived in Logan from the late 40s to the late 60s. I went to Cooke and Olney and dearly remember my mom shopping on 11th street and having cartons of goodies delivered for Passover. Logan movies every Sat. afternoons and my uncle going for take-out from the Asia on Sat. night. Sam's Luncheonette where the cute guys hung out or played stick ball in the street. I also remember the 75 trackless on Wyoming. There was a bump that the car would "jump" over as it came barreling down Wyoming Ave after crossing the Boulevard. I would lie in bed at night and feel the house shake. I had no idea it was a portend of things to come. Don't know whether it had anything to do with the sinking of the neighborhood, but it certainly frightened me. Thanks for rekindlingnfond memories.
I lived at 4813 N. 11th Street. Rosen's Famous Bakery!!!!!! My family STILL owned the house there!!! I remember the Jewish community. My mother got her very firts bedroom set from our neighbors before they moved. The thing lasted almost fifteen more years...the entire set! I remember Meyer's, Meat market.....
I have many happy memories of living on Marvine St just above Courtland St one half block below the park. Logan ‘Demonstration’ School was my first alma mater, providing an excellent education to all who had the privilege of attending. After moving to Broomall, Marple Township. I found the suburban schools about two years behind the Logan school.
Thank you Richard and Rita! Like Rita, I too lived on 11th St, above my family's store, and was born in 1942. But I lived across the street, at 4748. For a young child, crossing a busy street was a no-no, so I saw her family's bakery but rarely crossed the street; I don't recall meeting Rita on the street or at Birney. Ah, the movie theaters on Broad street, where my mother and grandmother would send younger brother and me to get us out of the kitchen so the fragile Pesach cakes and cupcakes would rise... I remember seeing Mighty Joe Young at the Rockland, and many serials at the Broad or the Logan. 10 cents admission. I assume that my family's store was in my grandmother's name, Goldman. It sold fruit and produce and, at Pesach, fish from fish tanks. I remember my father building the "tanks" from galvanized steel. (LA architect Frank Gehry recalls fish in his bathtub; I think the same was true for us as we waited for Dad to finish the tanks.) The basement was a mess, with cases of goods (fruit and produce) and coal, as I bet was the case at Rosen's. Rita mentioned Berger's kosher meat market; Herbie and Flossie's son Barry (b.1942) is my oldest friend, perhaps from the age of one; he called me (NJ to TX) about this video. I recall one night in the fall when we were perhaps 8 years old, and he and I climbed over two fences from my backyard to get into the backyard of Ulitsky's deli (4752), and discovered the pickle barrels. I'm pretty sure that we treated ourselves to them. Barry tells me that only today he was talking with a friend about that pickle barrel. I have memories of Frank's candy store, across the street from me, not far from Rosen's bakery. (To quote another Frank, "If it's Frank's, thanks!" I could not get enough of their Black Cherry Wishniac.). In 1952, when my family moved to Oxford Circle, at 4744 was Fogel's Hardware store, at 4746 was Walter Ko's Chinese Laundry, and at 4750 was Shimson (Samson?) Weinberg's butcher shop, with wife Sarah. (Last name from Barry, thank you!). Barry remembers an incredible amount, and says hello to Rita.
Thanks Wayne. I do remember your family store and the live fish now but I could not remember the name for the video. I know what you mean about crossing the street. We almost never did either. Be well Regards to Barry Rita
@@templejudeamuseum9421 I must have started kindergarten at Birney in the Fall of 1947. Barry, who was a term earlier than me, tells me that you were a bit younger than him, so perhaps we were in some of the same classes. Alan Lowit and Harvey Danitz were in some of my classes at Birney and I knew them from Central, too. I recall the redheaded Bennett boys; Gary was in my class at Central and I met the older, Alan, a few years ago. (Obviously I did not hang out with yucky girls!) Here is my memory of my Birney teachers: Riehl, kindergarten, Beerstein (sp?) 1A, Rutler 1B, Schaeffer 2A, ? 2B, Schatz 3A and 3B, Pearl 4A and 4B until I moved. Any comments would be appreciated, as I try to reconstruct that time. I am also trying to reconstruct the stores on 11th St, and their locations. Yes, you and everyone reading this, be well too. A recent Duke study found that N95 and surgical masks are significantly better than cotton masks; public people should use them. Fleece was as bad as none at all; go know. Wayne
@@templejudeamuseum9421 I think it is worth exploring how we never met, since we lived across the street and had some of the same teachers. I recall my parents not being fond of their fruit and produce competitors (two sisters on Loudon); perhaps we used a different bakery (which ones? wasn't there a girl our age from another bakery? I never knew her either). I have a 55th Central reunion photo with both Alan Lowit and Harvey Danitz, and a 1948-ish yoyoing photo with Chinese laundryman Walter Ko in the background, but I hesitate to put it on youtube because I think they would claim some sort of ownership. By the way, Barry has a clamshell phone and no computer, but in a few months may join the 21st century of phones. Perhaps Richard Spector knows more...
Great memories! I worked at both White Palace and then Rosen's from age 11 until 18! Our house was at 11th & Wyoming and is one of the homes that was affected by the sinkholes.
I dated the daughter of Reverend Krats, pastor of the church that remains standing next to the Boulevard in the opening sequence at 51 seconds. He was replaced by a black pastor about 1975 or so, due to the changing demographics of the neighborhood. A few months ago, crews tore down the residence building that had remained standing next to the church. I once stood on that little third floor balcony. I'm not sure why the residence building had to go, because it appeared to be as solid as the church.
Back in the late 70's and early 80's, my brother Pete who was married with 2 kids worked for the Rosens. Now a retired police officer and in his 60's.

Wow,blast from the past,I absolutely loved growing up in Logan in the 70s and 80s,A cool place to grow up in those days.
Love my big sister😊

Wayne Saslow Sharon Tener was a daughter of White Palace which was right across the street from you. You probably shopped there
What a great place growing up. Awesome memories.
Lived at 5614 N Warnock until 1974, went to Holy Child.
Great memories! I worked at both White Palace and then Rosen's from age 11 until 18! Our house was at 11th & Wyoming and is one of the homes that was affected by the sinkholes.
So was mine. Checked it out several years ago - sad.
