I lived at 421 Elm Street in Westfield until January 21st, 1974. My room was over the living and dining rooms, the driveway side, seen in The town that spawned The Addams Family (right or northside of the Victorian at 411 Elm Street). The town was also featured in the series Ed, in the beginning of each show with the Rialto on the left across from the Yesterdade that was The Play Fair originally. Music Staff was on Quimby Street and Hill's Ice Cream was on Broad Street. The town doesn't look all that different from when I lived there. I'm writing a series of 13 chapter novels about growing up there because 13 chapters = 13 weeks, a season, storylines interconnected, intertwined, 1 per day. Western Bay, OR where it takes place is the mirror image of Westfield pre-1974.
The places I mentioned no longer exist or the names were changed over the years but the library, Mindowaskin Park playground and train station still exist. What were the names of the stores on either side of The Play Fair, I entered & exited through the back door. What were the names of the stores that the hotel replaced? That hotel wasn't there when I lived there until January 21st, 1974. I know Ted's Smoke Shop was on the corner of Elm & Broad, Woolworth was on the other side of it on Elm & Broad. I know the Rialto closed. Why, I don't know. The same about Theodore Roosevelt Junior High becoming Roosevelt Intermediate School. Its it a school for the learning disabled now? I still can't believe it's been 50 years since I lived there! If you know anyone there in their 60s & 70s who lived there back in the 60s & 70s I'd love to email with them to reminisce. It would be helpful for my audiobook & ebook Western Bay for now, picking up/starting on June 9th, 1969. Western Bay, OR fictional but the mirror image of Westfield, NJ; same names of parks, public schools K-8, and so on.
