As Frank reported recently, there is a restaurant on Orange Street again. It's the Coney Island, between Seventh Street and Roseville Avenue, next to the building that housed One-Hour Martinizing.

Oh my! How things have changed.

They serve halāl foods!!!

How can they serve pork?

I wonder if possum is allowed?

This could be a new potential site for First Friday's.

Only we FIRST FRIDAY goers have seen your "new" look! do you care to share with the rest?

A reminder of how the block looked in 1961 (courtesy NPL Berg Collection):
