Nancy Resnick Hendrickson - March 1st, 2010 at 08:30am The BEST hometown Lived at 16 Ridgewood Terrace in a house my Grandfather had built in 1906. Still have great memories of Maplewood (sledding down the sidewalks, snow forts, ice skating on the town park ice, THE best 4th of July fireworks shows ever. Moved away in the early 70's but always kept Maplewood in my heart. Enjoyed this site! Jean Sherwood - February 28th, 2010 at 03:05pm Sure do remember! Hi Angela! I sure DO remember! I spent alot of time at the Cordasco house in high school, and have so many great memories! I remember your daughter when she was just a little baby! Hi to all your family! Sue Hunter Chynoweth - October 31st, 2009 at 01:36am do you remember? Just came across your great web site. I lived on Hughes St for many years. Does anyone remember my mom, Enes Cordasco? She was a cook at Maplewood Jr. High for many years. I think some of you still owe her the money she lent you for lunch! Mu dad, Jerry, was the manager of the store across from the high school which at the tiem was an A&P.. Some of you guys out there may have worked for him. My brother, Anthony Cordasco, taught shop at Columbia HS for a while. My youngest brother,Jerry,is still a Maplewood resident. It's fun to remember! angela cordasco byrne - August 31st, 2009 at 05:39pm Memories a Million Hi! I moved to 624 Valley St. When I was knee hi to a grasshopper. It was Spring i believe. I remember everything looked so beautiful and green. The big tree on our lawn that sprawled over valley St. and our lawn. Countless times we sat out there enjoying the shady tree and watchin the cars pass by. i went to Tuscan, Maplewood Middle and Columbia High. I had my sister and brother, Mom and Dad and our dog Fluffy. As zi grew up I enjoyed the park very day right across from my house off Baker St. Tennis, raquet ball, the swings and in the winter the froze over pond for skating. I ended up working in the Movie house for over three years. Next door was the Roman Gourmet (deliciously made pizza). A beautifully quaint towne with good people. I could hear the train come thru when id ly in my bed. Hot summer night wed go to Baskin Robbins 31 flavors. In Maplewood Middle I fell in Love with Joe Lidoski. i never stopped! My Dad was in the Lions Club and worked as a Plumber in Jersey City. My Mom was on PTA and a community bowling league. They were fine parents. Both working together to make our lives comfortable and most memorable. I absolutely adored Maplewood. The four seasons, the fireworks and July 4th park events, BBQ'ing with family, the community pool, the village and all the cute little shops. countless fond memories fill my heart and soul. Its a place i long for in my dreams. When my dad took ill with Cancer our family fell a part. He died in '81 and nothing seemed the same for my family. In my heart is my family, now my children here in Plam bay where I presently reside and some good friends, teachers, co workers that ill never forget. My love for Joe still goes on. He had to leave in '75 and Ive casrried a torch for him all this time. I just recently found him after years of not having any luck. Maplewood...I love you!!! Forever youll burn brightly in my spirit like a warm wonderfull flame. Chrisstiana Dowling Tumax - July 25th, 2009 at 06:11pm Still live here Grew up on Highland Place and then Ridgewood Road and moved away but am now back. Maplewood physically hasn't changed much over the years and it's very comforting. Susan McCaskie Humphrey - July 19th, 2009 at 08:11pm Like growing up in a movie hello to all the folks i knew from 1973-1982!!!! what a nice site! i have great memories of growing up on park rd and then courter ave.It seemed so hugh and innocent...what a playground....the pool, the parks....the nursery behind the town hall....wishing well all the class of 1986 especially..love from idaho Bobb Raziano - May 29th, 2009 at 02:11pm Grandparents, Aunt and Uncle Not sure if this belongs here or under local history, but... My grandfather Arthur Pearson was the caretaker at Memorial Park until the early 1950's. He and my grandmother lived in the caretakes's cottage in the park. I was perhaps 7 or so when my grandfather's employment ended, but do have many memories - especially of the Fourth of July circus and fireworks - associated with the park. My aunt and uncle - Ruth and Harry Cope - lived on Jacoby Street in a house built by my uncle, a self-employed plumber. Their property bordered on Olympic Park at the rear where there was also a small brook. My Aunt Ruth worked in the Maplewood town office for many, many years as, I believe, a secretary in the mayor's office. As far as I know, I have no more living relatives in NJ and have lived in Maine since 1962. I would be pleased to hear from anyone who has any recollection of my long-ago Maplewood relatives. David Fischer - May 26th, 2009 at 05:04am Maplewood what a charming town! decided that before meeting them, I would wander around Maplewood Village which I have not done in a long time. Not that I am not familiar with the village, as I once owned a retail business there for 13 years. I spent many a day in that lovely 4 block village but since have not returned for a leasurely stroll. I'm always too busy running from house to house. Well today, I did wander around and many things about the village have not changed. That's a good thing. Lots of people about, walking from the local spots. It's great to have everything you need in walking distance. That's the one thing I missed when moving from NYC to the burbs. But the conveniences are there in Maplewood. Walk from King's supermarket to the great Fish market that always has fresh fish. If you can't wait to pick up your order, the fish market with deliver to your home. A few steps away, you can catch the lastest movie and say hello the the same friendly employees that have been there for years. I stopped and had breakfast at the local dinner where the food is good, plentiful and very reasonable. Many of the same shops remain with some new additions. All offerring quality products at reasonable pricing and many will gift wrap for free. People are all so friendly and even I who hasn't been there for some time, ran into familiar faces to greet. Oh, I almost forgot, where can you cross the street and the cars come to a complete stop and they are happy to do so for you? If you guessed Maplewood you're right! So if you have time, take a drive and enjoy a relaxing time exploring the village of Maplewood . I did. carol eisenstein - May 4th, 2009 at 07:48pm It seems so long ago! Left Maplewood in 1978 for Iowa, then Florida,now South Carolina. My 8 sons are now scattered thru out the 48, Anyone from Clinton Ave, remember the Eick boys? Florist business still in my blood-Miss Maplewood and always will. Hello out there!
