One of the St. Jude facebook photos had advertisements from a 1970 athletic program. Included was an ad from Easy Way Marine at 19200 Kelly. In the early 70s I must have walked by that place a thousand times on the way to NDHS but for the life of me I don't recall a marine shop on Kelly. Was it there just a short time? OK all you Kelly road experts..It's time to chime in..details please. | ||

That would be Kelly and Kingsville? My online yellow pages says that's where the Sweetheart Bakery is now. Boy, I don't remember that one either. | ||

No clue, that's like the Foxy Lady, I can't recall this place either, I think it may have been where the Flying Machine was but not sure.  | ||

Geez, J - MUCH better than me in naming ALL our teachers. I remember when we were so cool, we "changed classes" - single file and just across the hall, but it was still a big deal. and whoever asked the question about "Did that person "REALLY" graduate with us - I did relive that feeling at the 30+ yr reunion prep. | ||

I remember a marine repair shop on the corner of Kelly and Kingsville where Sweetheart bakery is if it is still there. I walked by that corner for many years on the way home from school. Does anyone on this site still live in the Eastside? I | ||

St. Juder: Sweetheart bakery is still there on Kelly Rd. They use to carry cheese cakes to die for. Does anyone remember if Sweetheart changed the building when they took over the Marine shop? I don't recall a marine shop with a diagonal front door entrance like Sweetheart has. | ||

i don't remember the marine shop at all, but do remember Mr. Libecki working at the bakery - think he may have owned it. | ||

There is a Sweetheart Bakery on Van Dyke near 14 Mile. Is it owned by the same family? | ||

While I was visiting my mom over the weekend my brother brought over an apple coffee cake from the Sweetheart bakery on Kelly. I've been craving more ever since I got back to Austin. By my estimation they're as good as they ever where. | ||

JC: Yes, the Sweetheart Bakery in the Michele's restaurant building on Van Dyke just north of Chicago Rd. is in the same family. The aroma from that bakery makes one want to order desert first when dining at Michele's. BTW,check out the Polish menu at Michele's on Tuesday. | ||
Campfire_girl Member Username: Campfire_girl Post Number: 671 Registered: 03-2008 |
Better yet - check out the Polish menu at St. Jude after the 4:00Mass next Saturday, March 14th. Yous truly is making ALL the stuffed cabbage - and we're having Kielbasa, kraut and Pierogis as well - See you there J! | ||

CFG: Wow, I wish I could be there on March 14 but the work schedules precludes it. That doesn't mean that some of our St. Jude Nostalgia friends who live in Iowa, California, Texas, Tennessee, or Washington can't make it. I'm sure it will be well worth the trip. Do you anticipate a large crowd? | ||

I remember a Tringali's Bakery somewhere near the old hood. Was it in the building where Famous Pizza was, or was it further up Kelly somewhere? | ||
Kellyroad Member Username: Kellyroad Post Number: 1364 Registered: 04-2007 |
JC: Wasn't Tringali's Bakery just south of Pollas on the same block? | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 5996 Registered: 04-2005 |
I think Polla's was the second store north of the corner so if Tringali's was there, it would have had to have been on the corner of Kenosha and Kelly. I just can't remember. Where are you, ZZ? | ||
Mkap Member Username: Mkap Post Number: 87 Registered: 11-2008 |
JC - Tringali's was the store South, right next to, Polla's. Now it is a you buy we fry fish place. Polla's was bought out about ten years ago. They have since gone out of business for not paying taxes, I heard. Tringal's moved out to I believe 12 and Schoenherr | ||

There was Little Joe's Bakery too at 19330 Kelly. Mkap do you remember the name of the Barber Shop on on Kelly right where St. Fair ended? One of the owners was a Ruggeiri, brother to the 2 who owned Frank's store on Boulder | ||
12468_laing Member Username: 12468_laing Post Number: 428 Registered: 07-2008 |
Tringali's - the home of the best Italian bread of it's day. What was the hardware/plumbing place in the same area? My dad used to go there all the time. | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 2737 Registered: 04-2008 |
Roullo's, I believe this is where Mkap received training for his trade. | ||

Loved Tringali's bread! I don't think my family had a holiday dinner without it! Used to stop there on the walk home from school to get pistachios, the red kind (Red Dye #7--yum). Wasn't there a hall, like for weddings, between Kenosha and Washtenaw? I think it was called Imperial. My grandpa was an auxilary policeman and he used to park cars and watch the parking lot there. Made good tip money. Anyone remember Mabel's? It was between Elkhart and Roscommon. It was called a Notions store but she sold penny candy...used to stop there on the way home from school too... I remember Clete's barbershop, but I think that was between Woodside and Roscommon, near Bidigarie's. | ||
Zitro Member Username: Zitro Post Number: 2738 Registered: 04-2008 |
HW: I think you uncovered a long standing question around here. We've been asking for a long time what the name of the penny candy store was. Mabels!! Thanks so much!! Clete's was another barbershop, but it was different from the one I'm asking about. Don't know about Imperial, but I knew it as Ingrao's Hall. | ||
Tsomyak Member Username: Tsomyak Post Number: 112 Registered: 04-2008 |
Yep, Roulo's was the plumbing place, and they are still there. I dated the owner's niece in high school. I even worked there for a (very) short stretch myself. | ||

Yes, we're expecting a big crowd for the Polish dinner - but there's always room for more! It sure would be great to see everyone there. For those that are interested, there's going to be an open house/school walk-through after the 4:00 Mass on Saturday, March 28th. I won't be in town, but I'm sure it will be fun - AND - there will be bowling flyers available, for all you bowlers to sign up! | ||
Jcole Member Username: Jcole Post Number: 5998 Registered: 04-2005 |
Mabel's?? I don't think I ever knew it as anything but 'The Penny Candy Store'. I remember the hall being Ingrao's too, but it may have changed after I moved. Tringali's is on Schoenherr and 12. I pass it going to St. Clair Shores sometimes. Here's a link so you can all drool over the products page. There is also a short history which mentions the HW store Tringali's | ||

Tringali's and Sweetheart are both fine bakeries, but my favorite one was the one on the SW corner of 7 and Kelly next to George's Party Time (a.k.a. the Beer Store). Their giant sugar cookies and Russian rye bread, sliced thin were fantastic. | ||
Kellyroad Member Username: Kellyroad Post Number: 1365 Registered: 04-2007 |
My father-in-law, a downriver man, actually made a point to stop in Sweet Heart bakery when on the east side. I guess it's time to get another cheese cake. | ||

It's time for another picture puzzle. The pictures are all from St. Jude Parish or the nearby neighborhood. (past and present). You may have to squint, rotate the screen, go back in the archives of discuss detroit, or simply use your imagination. The first one to identify what is subject of each of the 5 pictures wins the prize of extra stuffed cabbages at the the upcoming St. Jude Polish Dinner (Of course if campfire-girl oks it) Hints later if needed      | ||
