- SILive/Advance reporter Joe Soldano takes a walk down memory lane in the former home of Pergament, Crazy Eddie's, The Wiz, Roll & Roaster and ShopRite. What do you miss about the Staten Island in the 90's?
Before Crazy Eddie's there was a cinema hall, I bought my first microwave oven there. I also worked in shop rite while in high school. Thanks for the memories of NY and Staten Island where I grew up.
Really cool you should do more memory lane segments
I really enjoy you're videos PLEASE keep making them. 👍👋
The DMW used to be on the upper level where Pergament Mall used to be. I remember The Wiz Electronic Center. Hey what about McDonald's on the JCPenney in the Mall, I miss that place.
Yea that was the Wiz. Used to run around there as a kid and then would have to go to Petland
I like the pun on the Wiz getting beat... Lol.. nice video even 6 years later...
My dad owned "Time out 4 Donuts" we were next to Haagen Dazs! There was a DMV and yes Pergament and Shop Rite! And absolutely Crazy Eddie's. It was famous!
Magic City WAS a Crazy Eddie but before that it was a stand-alone, single-screen movie theater called the Century Richmond. I believe the last film I saw there was J.F.K., around 1990. There was another stand-alone movie theater called The Island that was close to the plaza entrance near Richmond Ave. Michael's back in the 70's was a McCrory's Dept. store. My grandfather bought me a Land of the Giants board game there. I wish I still had it.
The Crazy Eddie later became some computer store I forget the name.
@@moreshige wasnt it gateway computers i live in staten island 51 years i remember the movie theather
@@moreshige Trader Horn
I still remember going to the OTB for the Triple Crown races (like the Kentucky Derby or the Belmont Stakes). It was in the back behind the ShopRite.
I worked at Shoprite in the 80's. It was a great place to work and we all hung out at night in the parking lot and no one ever bothered us. Even the cops were cool and told us to clean up after ourselves, but let us stay. Great times.
Thanks Joe for making anyone over 45 feel older than dirt. I know that wasn’t your intention making this video but I really feel like crap now.
I remember when E J Korvettes opened. It was a two story store. Music and toys upstairs, important stuff. They had these small booths outside with the BEST soft pretzels. Only problem was, the smell of the dump.
Korvettes was a two story building and Pergament was only one story.
The airport and farmers market was where the mall is now. One end of the runway ended at a drive in movie. yes there was a drive in movie there. Sort of where Toys r Us was, general area. I took my first plane ride at that airport.
Indeed it was Crazy Eddie, his prices are INSANE! Before that it was a movie theater.
There was a Roll And Roster on Hylan Blvd as well.
before pergament, before the DMV, that whole building was one big department store called Korvettes. It went out of business back in 1981.
There used to be an airport where the mall is now!
didnt turn into a drivein movie spot before the mall
@@heyuillgetu6367 No, the drive-in theater was where the Target lot is now.
Yes , the DMV was up above from the McDonalds in the mid 80's... The Raymour and Flannigans
I used to go to Discovery Zone every weekend!!!! The DMV was by discovery zone. Roll N Roaster & Pergament disappeared when i was really young. The wiz was great closed when I was about 9
Magic City was a movie theatre.....
also gateway computer store
I saw the first three Rocky films there
The last film I saw at that cinema was For Your Eyes Only I was like 13 or 14 years old. I remember my nana took me and my 2 little brothers.
@@sheila-anneprendergast451 me, too. I remember seeing most of the Roger Moore 007 movies there
Al Limone me too :) great times
bella vita 2 was there but in the back left corner seperate from the main buildings. i rememeber when me my mom and my dad sat at the round table with white table clothes and my my mom asking for an asstray and was smoking ciggerettes while waiting for our food. good times in the 90s
I remember a movie theater was there 1970’s yep showing my age...I saw “Let it Be “ Beatles movie there....
Glenn Evans The Richmond Theatre was in the back. The Island theatre in the front where the window coverings place is now.
I remember somewhere around where Petco is there was a stationary store in the early 80’s. My mom always took me there to buy stickers, I don’t remember the name of the store, but it was great!
Miss the old stores there one of them I remember is Pergaments
By the McDonald's there once was a Frankel's and an order by catalog store, Consumers. It had no merchandise in it, just catalogs and tiny sharpened pencils to use to fill out the order forms with. I also worked in the Wiz part time when I graduated High School.
There was also a car wash across from where the Citibank is in the early 80's.
Pergament i remember in 97 98 lol
funky seventysix Yep! I remember them from when I lived there in the 80s and early 90s.
E.J. Korvettes was the anchor store there way back when...
sboyd4723 worked at korvettes
I remember going to Korvettes with my parents the toy department was upstairs. I also remember going for photos with Santa.
I’ll miss the 90s and 2000s
Back in the early 20th century it’s been reported people were missing the 1890s. For me I choose to be nostalgic the 1890s too.
I think there was a supermarket similar to Pathmark called Rockbottom.
Crucifixnaildriver Rockbottom was a Discount store. Not a Supermarket.
There was an Italian restaurant called Bells Vita Ii at the end opposite petland. The DMV was on the 2nd level above the McDonalds area.
Century Richmond movie theatre was originally at Jembro/Crazy Eddie (insane) location. Caprice bakery was next to the pizzeria . SS Kresge store was where Goodfellas was filmed. Bath Beach Health Spa was above Pergament (early 80's). EJ Korvettes was the main store in that plaza in the 60's. Acme supermarket was the main and only store across the street. Looks like the Carvell is still there. SINY 10312 will always be my hometown.
Sorry McCrory's not Kresge, my mistake.
When did Staten Island have a "Kresge's" I remember a "K'Mart." I don't remember a Kresge store near the mall, maybe in Port Richmond on Richmond Avenue??? Sorry I can't remember. My memories are fading....
I was just talking to my mom tonight about the gym above Pergament. We couldn't remember the name. Thanks!
Thanks for the memories, grew up in SI in the 80s and 90s used to live right opposite in Windham Loop. This was my route to go to univ taking S61 and the ferry.
yes crazy Eddie..lol insane prices..lol
Marko Antonio yeah he was also a coke head
I remember Roll&Roaster next to Shop Rite.
I remember it in the 80’s.
I fell out of the cart in that ShopRite. Yes the DMV was there also
I like the clip from "Goodfellas." Are you the same guy from the Eric D'Alessandro video skits?
Before all this the area was home to an airport a farmers market and a weekend auction. And who forgets Jeanette's foot long hot dogs.
You have to do another update. Everything looks very different now. 🙂
Wasn't Consumers there? Weird store. You would look at a catalog, decide what you wanted and it would come out in a box on a conveyor belt.
OMG I remember the catalogs!
Are you serious? There are ppl that don't know what Crazy Eddie is?? Alls you have to do is type "Crazy Eddie" into the UA-cam search bar
Above the McDonalds was also a karate instructional area where I went when I was 7 or 8 years old back in 1988. I hated it! Only stayed there for about 4 months.
I remember that, I think. My memory is going....
The Dmv used to be there..
This kids to young to remember.
Magic city was also a gateway computer store for a bit

Yes there was a DMV there, also Where Michaels is there used to be a beefsteak Charlie's
Bath Beach gym upstairs.....80’s
Korvette's! Doesn't anyone remember Korvette's? It had an adjoining food store, Hills I believe. I think Korvette's closed in 1980 and later became the DMV.
The fur joint and Jeffery da'Giraffe was there too
It’s roll n roaster not roll & roaster . Form a former Brooklynite

Yes Richmond Theater
Who is this guy to describe old Staten Island. Ask a pre bridge resident. They will give you the beautiful history of Staten Island before the invasion. This guy’s family is certainly part of that invasion and therefore not at all qualified to speak of vintage Staten Island.
Staten island used be a nice place to be. No more, these days are sadly gone. Developers and Brooklyn have destroyed the island.
Pet Company was either where Panera is or next to it... That's where I got my Jack. They closed not too long ago.
