At Far Right: Giovanni Vendetti.
My parents, Giovanni and Guiditta (Julia) Vendetti, lived at 524 South 2nd Street from the late 20's until around 1940 when they moved into the 601-603 building. It was actually 2 houses on the Corner and Eventually Made Into One. When my parents bought the house on 3rd street, there was a closed Store Front But No Pool Room.
My brother, Jim, who passed away in 1954 at the age of 39, opened the pool room prior to World War II. It had a small candy store front room and the back room had 2 Pool Tables, A Pot Belly Stove, And Some Card Tables. The guys all Hung Out at the Pool Room, Played Cards, pool, etc. It Was a Typical Corner Hangout. I Was Very Young at the Time, but I use to stand on A Soda Box to Shoot Pool.
I remember during the 2nd World War, as the Guys Got Drafted Into the Army, their pictures usually were listed in the Courier-Post newspaper. My brother would cut out the Pictures and Started a Bulletin Board. I remember there Were Quite a Few Pictures Listed. A Few of Them Never Returned. Never new What Happened to That Bulletin Board. — Tony Vendetti, February 2009

My Grandmother Rosaria Tantone lived on 3rd Street in Camden for quite awhile with her daughter Nancy Martinelli. I know there was a store on the corner, so this might be at that address. Anyhow I thought you might be interested in the location and sign.
I don't remember this Church, but only some type of store; apparently it changed hands at times. (The store was Salvatore's Cafe.) Of course there are the traditional brick sidewalks.
I particularly liked this photograph with my Cousin Frankie laughing. My Brother and I are here along with my Cousin Frankie's Sister Lorraine DeNinno. — Anthony R. Venella, March 2006
