Our classmate, Dickie Janni, comes from a family that owned a piece of the Rahway Ave and Green Street corner for many years. Dickie's grandfather opened a Sweet Shoppe on the site in 1930. Pictured here in 1940 is his dad, Richie, who eventually converted the businees into what we remember as "The Village Inn". The bar and restaurant served the community from 1948 til 1987. (Note the price of a cup of coffee back then)
