The men that brought our beloved Hess's to the Lehigh Valley were proud JEWISH Americans all. Like every Jewish American, they wanted ONLY THE BEST for their community, their city and their COUNTRY. With all the hatred that is being thrown around these days against Jewish folks, especially on RUclips, I thought i would take the time to remind everyone of this very little, unknown fact.
I worked at Hess's. In the Oasis, the Deli...and ahhh yes...the Patio! I miss getting employee meals there. You could have ANYTHING except Surf and Turf! I loved it!
I miss the old days of Hamilton Street. Hess's, Leh's, the Liberty Bell church, the clock shop...back when you could walk downtown and do a day of shopping and sightseeing and not worry about crime & parking. Im only 27, but I remember the great department stores, the trolley, the covered walkways. Im glad I got to see some of it.
Hess's was a magical place, and the best part was everyone could afdford to shop there, and you were treated like royality. I remember taking a friend of mine there in the 80's, and she tried on a Bob Mackie gown, as she said where else could someone "off the street" do this without being itimidated.
