FOREWARD
When I agreed to be Historian for the Gifford Park Neighborhood Association I reasoned
that all I would have to do was to keep a scrapbook to record the activities of the
neighborhood. Then the editor of the newsletter asked me to write some articles about
the past and present businesses on 33rd Street. After all, that was history. I said “yes,”
thinking there would probably be two or three stories and that would be it, but, it was like
popcorn—one story led to another and another and another. It was interesting! Here is a
collection of the articles about the people and the businesses on 33rd Street, Cass to
California.
