The bakery next door had Charlotte Russes and black and white cookies and great rye bread. Gardner's where we bought school supplies on the first day of PS 81. It was a mob scene! They also sold spaldeens and paper dolls, newspapers and magazines. And gifts, in the front.<br /><br />The Skyview Deli, with knishes at the register. Riverdale Pharmacy, a bank, a women's dress store, a liquor store. Where the Dunkin Donuts is today are a pancake house with tasty boysenberry syrup! Later, to my delight it became a McDonald's. They flew in Ronald McDonald for opening day! <br /><br />Finally, at the end was the Riverdale Cinema. I liked the balcony. And saw all the movies of the day. Ah, those were the days! Honestly, the Skyview Shopping Center hasn't changed all that much.little saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-1714471612188283292008-11-16T06:57:00.000-08:002008-11-16T06:57:00.000-08:00Was there a German owned coffee shop at the side o...Was there a German owned coffee shop at the side of this strip next to a bar, which has since closed down?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-52561615143218757562008-09-17T13:41:00.000-07:002008-09-17T13:41:00.000-07:00Sigh.

I could picture it in the spot that used to be a discount store-- an unattached space to the right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-15627204319532121742008-05-05T07:32:00.000-07:002008-05-05T07:32:00.000-07:00I live across the street from this strip mall and ...I live across the street from this strip mall and I couldn't agree more. There is something soothing about the retro suburban feel of Skyview. It is almost as if this Plaza has been frozen in time since the Nixon era.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807524059762530615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-36206227865114572182008-02-28T16:41:00.000-08:002008-02-28T16:41:00.000-08:00That delicatessen sign is quite a classic.

The "Riverdale" of Riverdale Pharmacy is pretty snazzy, too.<BR/><BR/>I just posted this beauty:<BR/>http://www.flickr.com/photos/angvou/2299374540/angvouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986780554724964458noreply@blogger.com
