I love your videos and come back from time to time to see new ones. My mother who lives far away checks them out too to get a dose of the old days once in a while. Thank you. Regarding this video, I walked past that spot on Menahan and St. Nicholas on a regular basis to go to school and church between 1968 and 1976. That spot was not a candy store during those years. At that time the candy stores were Mrs. Stewart's on Wyckoff and Grove, the one on the corner of Grove and St. Nicholas across from St. Brigid's, and briefly there was one on Wykoff between Menahan and Grove. My memory of that corner on Menahan and St. Nicholas was of a nondescript type of business like a plumbing contractor or maybe even a social club or something like that, but definitely not a candy store. There were several members of my family who would know for sure what was there because they lived on Menahan, but sadly they've all passed away.
The candy store may have been gone by then but it was definitely there. An Italian man ran that place. On Grove and St. Nick the candy store was called Joe's. Joe Sorrentino ran that place.

The neighborhood was once common mediocre scene. It was boring but yet nice quite like a regular neighborhood yet me and most of people from between Bushwick Wyckoff Heights, and Ridgewood usually go to Manhattan that we used to called #TheCity to hangout chilling out because it was different from here. Especially how the people the way how they dressed and crazy hair styles clubs and bars that are not like over the old neighborhood. Now today Ridgewood is beyond mediocre.
