Neighborhood history on Columbia Street memories
Tina Portelli recalls a bygone Columbia Street neighborhood. She remembers Sokol Brothers Furniture on credit via index cards, The Big Clock meeting spot, Shoe Box and Cheap Cheap Louie shops, St Stephens Church mass, Easter outfits, Concetta's door, and a close knit family with colorful relatives in a vanished community long compared to Rome.
