Below is Dwight Street in the 1940’s: Park Sandwich Shop (583 Dwight) and M. Stein Jewelers (579 Dwight Street) — corner of Dwight and Maple Streets. People in the image are waiting for a bus. I looked up the street addresses for these businesses in my 1952 telephone book.<\/p>\n

Below are two images of the same corner, though obviously from a different angle, taken when I was last in Holyoke at the end of January 2012. What once was M. Stein Jewelers is on the left and on the right is Perez Market.<\/p>\n

Comparing the windows at the far right in the 1940’s image with those in the Perez Market image, it seems to be the same building.<\/p>\n

Question: is the Perez Market the same location where Ryback’s once was?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
