it was a great area if the crime was cleaned up maybe we won't mind living there in peace i care for my city and the love it brings i care about the people because i love em all its pretty unique place and it has long history with everybody
Night Fever Disco Bar was where Broadway Dance Co. is now, directly across the street from Broadway Lunch. The two bookie joints in Bellevue on Broadway were Art's and Ace's, great sports betting, cards, etcetera until the State took over the rackets.
LOL - There were several Books that I can recall from the 1960s through the 1990s. From Hegeman St. and Broadway down to Olean St. & Broadway. They were - near the Broadway Lunch, near what is now the OTB, one near Ontario & Broadway, one near Harrison and a few between Vischer and Olean.
Great job. You have a great memory. I lived in Bellevue from 1950-1979. Wow the streets look so small now. What a great place it once was. Thank you. Looks like they are keeping the older places up though. The little building across from Collins Market was a Barber Shop. Immaculate Conception is to the left on Brad Street.
Interesting - thanks for documenting all this. I don't think the Westinghouses ever lived in the Bond mansion; George W. built it for his mom, but she didn't want to move there.

What about all the bookmaker joints? LOL.
Schenectady is great. Too bad all the Italians moved out to greener pastures, and everything went downhill after that!
thanks for posting.

The store on HegemanSt. & Broadway was named Sokolov's - not Soloman's - my mistake.
