New Walkway
1943 Quarter
As you know, we are in
ongoing renovations in our Roslindale store. Recently, we repaired our flagstone walkway. In the process, our friend Peter found a quarter from 1943. It is a great piece of history as it belonged to my grandfather, Pasquale Canale who had made the original walkway in 1943.
