I moved from the area in 1995 so it was a shock to watch this video today and know that they demolished the Bazaar. A soft pretzel and a visit to the record store was a must......and a walk through of the entire place was next. Owners of stores were so nice. When sales were slow they would like to just hang out and talk.
I moved out of that whole area 12 years ago.... the congestion was getting so bad there it would take me 50 minutes to an hour to get home to Lansdowne coming from out near the Granite Run Mall ... but back in mid eighties roughly 25 minutes . Now in the 12 years since , family and Friends say it is so congested that the traffic is even worse .
I grew up in Havertown and my dad drove us down to the Bazaar many, many times when I was a kid. I can still smell the unique odors of that place. I loved it.
I remember going from Putt putt to the bazaar , i would walk all the way from Holmes to the Bazaar just to hang out all day reading comics cheking out the hobbie shop , those were the days, i had my first beer behind the bazaar lol , thanx for bringing back good memories
I grew up as a teenager in Aldan/Clifton Heights and walked there almost daily. I loved it there and my family used to meet up at the Bazaar cafeteria on Friday nights. I remember it being warm and friendly with a juke box always playing.
You should have been in the Bazaar in the 60s and the 70s... there's were really big years , I think my mom said the place was built in 1964... all I know is the place was always there... we always got pretzels and often those wonderful cinnamon buns from the bakery.... for the longest time it was called the Bavarian Bakery
My dad lived on Delmar rd in the mid 1960's which is right across Baltimore Pike from the bazaar and he told me he used to go every few days for fresh baked soft pretzels. He also told me he saw some pretty interesting things occur there over the years. He went to Westbrook Park elementary school and talks about his first grade teacher Miss Davidson being his favorite ever. Miss Davidson if you are still out there, God bless you for putting up with him. Lol
They had really good food in Larry's cafeteria . Good old Clifton and I hear that they're going to put some horrible Middle School over on the other side of Clifton field on Springfield Road and that is not a good idea
This is AWESOME!!!!!! Thank You for putting this together!!! I was age 10 in 1969 when my family moved to Delaware ( I'm still here!) I still run into people who remember the Bazaar!! My name is Debbie, and I had Mrs, Bean for my kindergarden teacher at Clifton Heights Elementary School. Every weekend my Mom would take us to get pretzels at the Bazaar!! Then I walked to it myself, we lived so close by! What great memories!!
I'm about the same age as you but I didn't go to that school . It was a sad thing when they decided to close the bazaar.... I can imagine how much the owners must have made when they decided to sell it .
Some of my first memories of shopping when we lived in Drexel Hill were of the shops there. D' Amatos was a fragrance smell that you could pick up from outside in the parking lot. even when we moved further west, we still went there.
True very true I remember doing that and yeah you could get some good Bargains at the last minute plus some really good hot cinnamon buns and a pretzel
I have so many good memories of The Bazaar. My mom & dad first took me there, when I was 3 years old. They tried putting me on Santa's lap, and I screamed my heart out. They never tried that again. Lol. The cafeteria there was where I first encountered pink lemonade. After that, I had to have it every trip to The Bazaar. There was a big bird, in the pet store, that my mom wanted to buy, but my dad wouldn't let her. So, every time we went, my mom would be in the pet store trying to teach that bird dirty words to say. Lol. They had an arcade with pinball machines, which my mom & I loved. My dad would have so much trouble getting my mom away from the pinball machines, that he'd always end up saying, "Did we come here to shop or just for you to play pinball?" I really miss The Bazaar.
at 2:10 thanks for including footage of that sign with the "star" or whatever it's supposed to be at the top. I have vague memories of the Bazaar (which is now a Home Depot), but I remember the model shop the most seeking model train stuff.
I remember living at Bishop Hill and having an apartment behind the bazaar facing the woods and we were on the top floor... we had wonderful views.... especially through our big glass sliding doors... it was particularly breathtaking when it snowed
WOW! I worked at gautios (sp) back in the early 70's for my Uncle, it was adjacent to the Bazaar, next to Put Put, run across the street with my tip money to get a burger, soda at Put Put, man I miss that place - best quick pizza Anyone remember Christmas time at the Bazaar :)
I just said that to someone in the comments but forgot how to spell it. I said it was up the hill from the Eric theater and net to putt putt, in the middle of putt putt and Burlington coat factory
Awesome memories! Thanks so much for this video! My grandmom shopped at the Kiddie City, the Value City, and The Bazaar so much when I was kid. Plus my pop Joe worked at the Potamkin Chrysler dealership right on Baltimore pike so I have fond memories of this area.
I remember strolling along and someone passing me with a goat or lamb on a leash would give me a big smile. Places like this will never be replaced by Malls or Online Shopping.
Ispent a good part of my life there from 1968 to 1972. ate there Christmastime was great there .My wardrobe consisted of engineer boots wrangler dungarees friut of the loom pocket t shirts dungaree jackets and either a navy blue hood or a dark green hood all was bought at jack kings the bazaar shoe store it was great for poor clifton hts kids that didn't think they were poor
That's funny because until you said Jack King's I kept thinking it was called Chess Kings... but as soon as I saw Jack King's I knew that's what it was yes.... my brothers used to buy clothing there
Hey, everyone. There's lots of good pics of the Bazaar on Facebook. Friend "Bazaar of All Nations Documentary." Other good updates on that page as well, like the recent restoration of the Lansdowne Theatre.
Grew up on Burmont Rd in Drexel Hill and went to the Bazaar probably 1 to 2 times a week and loved this place. I think they had a Bazaar in Willow Grove on 611 at the navy base, not nearly the same
Yeah I grew up in Clifton . But I moved out of the whole Northeast 12 years ago . Sometimes I get nostalgic but I don't miss how bad the traffic and congestion was getting before I moved away and my family and friends tell me it's a lot worse .
I never shopped at the Bazaar, but went to the places that come from it, like Montgomeryville and Normandy Square Marts. Great places for records, comics, novelties, cheap eats, hanging out etc. The last such place was on the old S. Klein site on 413, Levittown. Hardly anyone liked what they had, so they didn't last long. Undercut by the Big Marts, box stores and mall discounts for the less discretionary stuff?
I recognize the guy at 20 seconds , the people at 33.. and especially Phil Rose at 49 from the Kent Studios . I remember when that Bakery originally was called the Bavarian Bakery.. . They had the most delicious sticky cinnamon buns . But I am really shocked that there's not one photo of Larry from the cafeteria.... really hard-working guy and he had great food.... and like Phil Rose he always had a big smile for the customer and was very friendly . I hated that laundromat because as a kid often our dryer... and sometimes even the washing machine would break . We didn't have a car and a lot of times my mom and I would be the last people leaving not just the laundromat but sometimes among the last to be leaving from the whole Bazaar and then have to lug all that stuff back home. . For me as a child doing that especially on a school night was very depressing . I remember the pet shop and you could always hear that crazy loud bird even when you were several stores away. They always had really good pizza right there in the main entrance and I always had pretzels . Originally the Record Shop used to be closer to the end it was either the last store or next to the last store going in the direction of Oak Avenue . I remember that used to have a little clothing place right across from the main entrance called Chess King .
It was an interesting place.... different . Do you guys remember Larry's cafeteria... he had some really good food . Do you remember those really excellent cinnamon buns from the bakery . They also had good pizza there in the entrance way .
My brother Ron took me there to see my grandma who worked in the pretzel place.unfortunatley she acted like we didn't exist.i was six that hurt but the Bazaar was the place before the Mac dare mall
Was the State Store (or Wine & Spirits they call it now) next to it when the Bazaar was new? I must have stopped at the one facing Bishop dozens of times over the years until it moved to the new Springfield one. HobbyTown USA ended up there, and ironically used to be across from the newer 2005 State Store, which also replaced the one at Baltimore Pike and Saxer in Springfield, later Anime Bento now a computer repair shop.
I think the state store came later I don't think it was there when the bazaar was first built . When I was a kid believe it or not there was a state store on Baltimore Pike.... you know where that strip of stores are going in the direction of Philly... from the intersection of Oak Avenue and Baltimore Pike down towards Church Road .... about a half a block before you get to the Firehouse? In that strip of stores about halfway down believe it or not was the state store.... and then later the other one came along .
this place is definitely missed, they tore it down and put a home depot in its place, what a waste. as a kid, I use to peddle my bike from norwood, friggin hated bishop ave hill but loved the downhill side, to go there for the toy store inside on the left side as you entered from bishop ave. as i got older, and in the marines, use to go there for hair cuts,(they were the only ones that did "high and tight" cuts the right way), this place was a part of my life and will be sorely missed.
Yes it was a regular part of our Lives too . I lived a lot closer as I was already in Clifton ... mine was the opposite... going to the bazaar we only had one little hill and then the rest was downhill ...going home was always a pain going up hill and then down the hill before our street .
I worked at the Bazaar from the time I was 12 at the Mele's pet shop. Then the Custard stand for Bernie and His sister in law, Bernice. The to the Pretzel Bakery until I was 20. Great memories and great stories that will never be told on a DVD. The Pretzel bakery was a focal point for me and my two older brothers, who both worked there. I remember when I………….never mind, no way I can tell that story. Bernie was a huge Flyer's fan with season tickets way before it was cool to be a Flyer's fan. He would sing Frank as good as anybody.
I remember going to the Horsham Bazaar in the mid to late 1960's and racing my slot cars there on a large slot car track. The record store had the best selection of pscyadelic posters plastered high up on the walls. It was a fun place for a kid from Southampton to hang out in. The Montgomeryville Mart off 309 was similar but just didn't feel the same. Living in Schwenksville in the early to mid 70's was a great place to hang on a Friday and Saturday night. There was a bazaar type mart in Langhorne and Korvette's on the Roosevelt Blvd. back in the 60's. Shopping malls just don't cut it. In 50 years do you think.someone is going to reflect back and say "Do you remember all the fun we had shopping on Amazon?".
Living at 63rd and Kingsessing in the late 70s as a kid we would go to the Bazaar and Dairy Queen for "excursions". Nothing but cockroaches in that neighborhood now, what is left of it.
@@gardensofthegods It was tucked in a building that was like an old barn or something. I remember it was like barn red on the outside. It may mot have been in Clifton Heights exactly. It was close to Darby Creek or Cobbs Creek if I recall correctly.
@@bcarss1970 interesting.. when I get the chance I'll try to ask my sister who is 9 years older than me , if she remembers that and where exactly it was
I did not get to see the documentary yet but I'm wondering if Larry the guy that owned the cafeteria is shown or mentioned in the documentary.... I was disappointed not to see him here .
If there's anything you can count on it's nothing is permanent . But I could never really get used to the Home Depot replacing the bazaar . Do you remember a place further down Baltimore Pike in Springfield called Play Town Park ?

Was that beer at Larry's cafeteria ? We used to eat there a lot
Yes
My childhood revolved around this place. My dad worked at the vacuum cleaner store. Great great memories.
I grew up as a teenager in Aldan/Clifton Heights and walked there almost daily. I loved it there and my family used to meet up at the Bazaar cafeteria on Friday nights. I remember it being warm and friendly with a juke box always playing.
I grew up in western Pa and moved to Delco in 1987. I loved that place. It was so unique. Kind of reminded me of Zern's in Gilbertsville, Pa.
Roadrage 1263
Zern's is gone now !!

Yeah, and now gilbertsville farmers market is gone too, alot of fond Memories lost to time
I remember my Dad taking us there and it was the biggest treat, having a soft pretzel and standing in front of the glass box with the invisible band.
My dad lived on Delmar rd in the mid 1960's which is right across Baltimore Pike from the bazaar and he told me he used to go every few days for fresh baked soft pretzels.

I remember the day Clifton school burnt down. Not only was the Bazaar was great, the movie theater, Putt Putt, and Guido's net to putt putt
Some of my first memories of shopping when we lived in Drexel Hill were of the shops there. D' Amatos was a fragrance smell that you could pick up from outside in the parking lot. even when we moved further west, we still went there.
Right around now - November/December is when I miss this place the most. Best place ever for last minute holiday shopping.

I used to love the bazaar as a kid. I use to buy my new kids on the block paraphernalia from there . the pizza and soft pretzels were the best. 😍
Grew up on Burmont Rd in Drexel Hill and went to the Bazaar probably 1 to 2 times a week and loved this place. I think they had a Bazaar in Willow Grove on 611 at the navy base, not nearly the same
Didn't help the Bazaar in Willow Grove when a navy jet crashed into it while trying to land

Sometimes I get nostalgic but I don't miss how bad the traffic and congestion was getting before I moved away and my family and friends tell me it's a lot worse .
I use to say "It's a bizzare place to visit". Went there many times. A step up in quality from Jerrys corner in Philly.
Loved the bazaar!

I remember it...
its gone get over it but it was awesome!!
I grew up here!
I used to buy rabbit foot luck charms from the store in the thumbnail
Damn I miss the place:(
Their was more than 1 bazaar of all nations! Had one in Horsham pa, can find nothing on it!
Yes Dave. We touch on a couple of different Bazaar locations in the film. It was hard to track down info about the one in Horsham but we do cover it.
I remember going to the Horsham Bazaar in the mid to late 1960's and racing my slot cars there on a large slot car track.

@@gardensofthegods It was tucked in a building that was like an old barn or something. I remember it was like barn red on the outside. It may mot have been in Clifton Heights exactly. It was close to Darby Creek or Cobbs Creek if I recall correctly.
@@bcarss1970 interesting.. when I get the chance I'll try to ask my sister who is 9 years older than me , if she remembers that and where exactly it was
No it was down Baltimore Pike near across for The Funeral home. It was a drive thru fairy Queen. Right be4 the Firehouse. Same side
@JC10255 Kind of like watching Goodfellas, without the bloody baseball bat scene. Oh I remember, that happened in Darby. My bad.
When I was little I was always afraid that big spiked ball was gonna fall on me....also the suit of armor was awesome.
Yep I remember that... I always liked that spiked ball and thought it was cool... yeah I remember that big armor suit
When I was little I promised myself that when I grew up and bought my own house that I would buy a suit of armor just like that one . . . . and I did.
Is that Chuck van Zyl at 1:35?
