My family is from this neighborhood. My dad grew up there in the 30's and the 40's. His grandfather owned a grocery on 69th and Wood...and his mother opened her own store at 70th and Wood. My Uncle Cal owned CalMars with his wife's family, the Margarella's. When I showed my father this discussion, he remembers all the places noted. He drew me a map of the old neighborhood for reference!
