Hi Barbara, I don't remember a rhinestone factory in the 30's on 5th but I remember a candy factory somewhere in that area but not quite sure where that was either. We gotta check with Jimbo...he has been the goto guy with what was where.
Terry: What a beautiful wedding pic. It's funny, my wedding dress was almost exactly like yours. High collar with lace. That was definately the style back then.
Question: Does anyone remember a rhinestone factory on 5th Avenue in the 30's. I remember Annette and Arlene Durante and myself used to sneek through the fence and pick up all the rhinestones that were scattered in the back. It was a weird place though. There were all these little sheds or shacks in the back and it was kind of scary but we did not let that stop us. We used to call it the Diamond Factory and were always so happy with all the jewels we had scooped up. -
HI MICHAEL

A LITTLE OUT OF MY AREA
YANKEES JUST WANTED TO WIN AT HOME
