Mastic Beach Directory

Before the Cardamones moved Fannie's to the Mastic & Knapp Rd triangle (where the school buses are today) and added a bowling alley they were located right in "new town" near the Parr Garage. Pizza in the '40's was a novelty.

 

I bought my first 45 RPM record at the Center Moriches H.G. Grand (Elvis' Don't Be Cruel/ Houndog) and bought many more at their 5 & 10 in the Beach along with cap guns, models, toy cars, water pistols etc. Irene Miller owned the Kozy Korner

 

I think this was next door to the Sto p & Shop

 

Bohacks was renting Paul Schulte's Deli & General Store

 

Paul's main business during WWII was his tavern, but it appears he was still selling Deli , Groceries & Ice Cream too. Charles Ammon was the sales manager for Home Guardian . The other salesmen that worked with him were David Simon, Harry Bloomquist, Sam Leiber, Walter Ury, and Nat Weisser. Fishing Stations were all over town back then...Mike & Walter's was still there when I grew up in the '50's. It later became Longo's then Keenan's and is now a private residence with a fantastic view. The White Pillar was the remaing tower at the fork entrance to Mastic Beach . The center tower was knocked down by a car in the 1930's. Henry Offerman the driver was killed. Fred's Boat House was across the road from Captain Andy's.
