THE SHRIMP PLACE. This is where my Aunt Rosie worked for many, many years from the ’60s to the ’80s. I’m pointing up the stairs to the first landing. That was my spot. That’s where I used to be dropped off by my Mom when she had to go to work at noon at the Greyhound Bus terminal. I was not old enough to go to school yet so that was my built-in baby sitter’s station. My Aunt Rosie would give me a basket of shrimp and fries and make sure I was safe and in eye’s view. I would sit up there watching all the adults below at the bar drinking. This while I ate and sketched on my drawing pads. This would happen daily and my brothers would pick me up after they got of school. That’s where it all started with my designing. Love the history of Broadway!!!!
