Until recently I was unaware of the Kennedy-James Bond connection. Who can identify this locale?

I can't tell you the location, John, but being a bit (well, a lot) older than you at the time JFK was elected, I readily recall that he was supposed to be a big fan of Ian Fleming. I could go a lot of places with that, but I won't :-)

A wild guest--7th street and 7th avenue.

Wild and incorrect. Note the street sign.

Norfolk street, renamed JFK. Close to Central Ave is
my guess.

OK, no fair of me not to mention this scene is not in Newark itself.

John -Is in Bloomfield?

John -Is it in Bloomfield?

I really don't know where the picture was taken. But that guy sitting down looks like my uncle Henry blowing his nose.

Someplace in East Orange near the parkway?

This is a really hard one. It doesn't appear to be a main street. I believe that there is a clue in the Kennedy-Bond connection. Was there a Bond Baking Co (Bond bread) anywhere near us? I think that's it's in East Orange.

I can"t tell you the location, I think the street sign is bent and it should read JFK Drive North.

I hope that will help in the answer.

Now that you've given us the hint that it isn't in Newark, could it be in Bloomfield along the east side of the Parkway at the intersection of Montgomery? The green awnings in the distance make me think of the intersection of Montgomery and Berkley (sp?). I think there's a public school there also. I seem to remember that JFK Drive in Bloomfield runs along part of the old Morris Canal bed, but I don't get the James Bond reference

Corner of James St. and JFK No. in Bloomfield NJ

JFK and Dr. No

OK: Corner of JFK Drive North and Orange Street, Blfd., near Watsessing Avenue. Nice try, everybody.

The Sun is very hot in Florida too.

Thank you, Anonymous. Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees.

Reminds me that so much of northern Jersey looks alike. Some streets in Elizabeth or Jersey City look right out of Roseville.

Thanks, Anonymous. I feel really "Duh!"

What's with the "Anonymous" and " Newark Girl" titles? This is a free and easy web site. It helps others if you use your real name and contributes to the original purpose of old Roseville area people being able to re-connect!
