Re some posts above: Chinese food is for Christmas Eve.Yehudi Menuhin (1916-1999)
Celebrated violinist and human rights activist on how he came to be named ‘Yehudi’ which means ‘Jew’ in Hebrew.
‘Obliged to find an apartment of their own my parents searched the neighbourhood and chose one within walking distance of the park. Showing them out after they had viewed it, the landlady said: “And you’ll be glad to know I don’t take Jews.” Her mistake made clear to her, the antisemitic landlady was renounced, and another apartment found. But her blunder left its mark. Back on the street my mother made a vow. Her unborn baby would have a label proclaiming his race to the world. He would be called “The Jew.”’

Tom Storer wrote:My God, Friendly's on Central Ave. That shopping center was a frequent stomping grounds for me from grade school on. I used to buy my comic books at the Big Top, a little store next door to Friendly's. Later years included various after-dark memories from the parking lot area behind the stores.
That was in the days before malls. There were only "shopping centers."
I'm the last person on earth to have heard of Childrens Hospital, but I spent some time investigating it and got the show credits, etc. from Wikipedia. Thanks!sozamora wrote:bluenoter wrote:Her unborn baby would have a label proclaiming his race to the world. He would be called “The Jew.”’
