I haven't been to Ridgewood since the late 1970s. An aunt lived in Harman Street between Irving and Wyckoff. When she moved out in 1978, the neighborhood had become pretty run-down and was filling fast with rather unsavory sorts. One avoided going beyond Knickerbocker or Menahan: Wilson Av was the point of no return where "there be dragons here!" The post-blackout "Bushwick Blight" had quickly deteriorated the shopping areas along Myrtle and Knickerbocker.Goodness...this just got me thinking about a wonderful old-style bakery that was on Wyckoff...somewhere between Harman and DeKalb. It was on a corner, and it had one of those black and white checkerboard linoleum floors. There were always a bunch of old world German ladies my aunt would gab away with in German. The baking aromas were the best high imaginable. |
