Loading ...I grew up in Elizabeth ,NJ just about the time they were phasing out the trollys in Brooklyn NY and paving over the Tracks .WE had relatives in Brooklyn .I dont recall any in Elizabeth ,but I do remember public baths located on Elizabeth Ave below ground ..down a flight of steps in a large room with public showers .Some houses were so old were without bath tubs so public showers werent uncommon .One side of the street had for males ,the other females and you brought your own soap and towel in a little carry bag..I do remember .05 cent bus fares and they were closing the old Burlesque theatres in Newark NJ. Minskys and Empire Burlesque I manages to see one or two with Burt Lahr and Gypsy Rose Lee as a teen just before they closed ..There was no nudity contrary to imaginations of todays standards.haha…
