The john donatelli pharmacy...jde aka john domansky<br /><br />The john donatelli pharmacy was always an eye catcher, very deco when deco was just over, go inside & always be greeted by a friendly hello johnny, lived across on 8th & merchant & big JD knew little JD me. when i had a a nickel or dime, from carrying groceries for women, a candy bar was next or the movies if i worked a little overtime & did not feel the money burning a hole in my pocket, son claude was a tad older & the girl was younger, recall john as being balding & like his son later on in high school had a friendly italian smile. once he told me we don't sell caps for cap guns here, johnny. after high school we shoveled snow off the 3 story buildings a little south, push it to the alley & once in a while a shovel to the front when no one was walking there. that was the big snow of 1950 - 51, just started at hh & still got into the movies as a 12 yr old, 5'2", grew 6" in next 3 yrs or so. there was a good restaurant across from donatellis, name was ??? senior moment , great burgers & the 1st chili hot dog i ever saw. after getting the legal age & sometimes b4 we spent time in buffalinis, ate hard boiled eggs & hot sauce & watched the phillies & indians world series, it only went 4 games as i recall. 4th to 8th st merchant was the hot spot of the town, cruising b4 anyone knew what cruising was, go down to 14th turn around & back to 4th & do same over all nite long, gas was about 25 cents a gallon or less.
