![]() He also owned Olsen's Inn in Massapequa Park / Amityville across from the Zoo. Ford cars raffled off the first Ford Thunderbird on his lot, and at Christmas - a raffle for children were given free Howdy Doody dolls. Prior to then his building was the first to have an escalator on the east coast and was known as the largest grocery store, 50,000 sq ft. ![]() My understanding is, he leased his store across from the train station to Bohacks later in his life. Gene (Eugene) Clegg built, owned and operated Massapequa Markets. So if anyone is from class of 1975 and you are still living either on your old street or still in Massapequa some where.Good for you. ![]() I would of never guess that 20 years or so I was gonna leave, but I have made a new home. So that is something to talk about around the water cooler here where I live. Even Massapequa has a lot of famous men and women, like Steve Guttenberg and Jerry Seinfeld. And I am proud of it because where I live now, everyone knows I am from up north. I catch up with old friends and family, and one thing is for sure: my Long Island accent will always stay with me. ![]() I miss the food, All American hamburgers, the local pizza and Chinese restaurants, the ice cream shop on Broadway near the train tracks. I will always be proud of Massapequa and miss it very much (but don't miss the snow). I try to visit when I can and catch up with some old friends and family. It's been over 20 years or so, but I will never forget Massapequa. ![]() Berner in Massapequa in 1975!!! Moved away from Long Island to another state and married. ![]()
