I believe they did and their hoagies, while very good, are never as good as Charlie and Catherine's. The routine was; Charlie and Catherine's for hoagies, then a few blocks down to Cross's for ice cream. The first time I ever had peanut butter choc. ice cream was at Cross's. These posts are bringing back such good memories. My mother was a butcher shopper, she went to Gardner's for veal, and she was a frequent shopper at the Farmer's Market on Greene Avenue. My insurance agent, Saleme, is on 11th Ave., and if my grandchildren are with me, I always tell them how crowded the downtown street would be when I was younger. Once the older one had the nerve to tell me I told them that story everytime we went to the insurance store. Gable's would have a crowd in front of their store and I always thought my Mother was so clever to know where the side entrance was--our usual route was Bon Ton, Gables and a place called Mangel's. I had my first charge account there, and thought I was so grown up with a card and everything. My mother knew two sisters that worked at Gable's and one of the sisters husband had left her. Every visit would entail her crying and holding my Mother's hand. I pictured the husband as a sort of Clark Gable/John Garfield type of person, and when I saw him for the first time, I didn't believe it. He was heavy, bald and didn't look like a man a woman would cry over for years. I wish I could remember his name, he called Bi! ngo at Mt. Carmel.
