Growing up in Old Delray / Searching for Farkas Relatives
Last post by CorenFarkas - July 12, 2011, 01:58:07 amIt is so wonderful to read everyone's memories of Delray! I am searching for any information about Farkas families from the Delray, Wayne County, Belleville areas. My family separated in 1956 and I was put up for adoption at 8-months-old. My birth name is Coren Dee Farkas; born 1955. I know that I have a sister who was born in 1954. My parents were married very young...my Irish mother was 15, and my Hungarian Farkas Father was 17. My father would have been born around 1936 or 1937.
I am eager to connect with any of my relatives or to hear any memories from residents of Old Delray about Farkas families. It is my understanding that my grandparents/parents lived in Delray...and may have moved to Belleville, MI.
Thank you so much. Keep writing your memories of Delray...they are magical!

Snippets of e-Mail / Delray Pharmacy
Last post by MagyarMan - June 01, 2011, 02:34:50 pmPosted on behalf of Audrey:
I knew when my father retired from his pharmacy, Delray Pharmacy, the location became a mini police station. Yes, my father's pharmacy was at 8022 W. Jefferson, with the doctor's office adjoining. I found nothing more wonderful than visiting my father's store as a child, going to Fox Hardware, Kresge's and many of the wonderful restaurants. These visits continued until I graduated from college at which time my father retired. I just went to Delray to show my daughter where her grandfather's store was and left very saddened by the burned out building. At least I do have the wonderful memories!
It was nice to read that someone other then myself did have such fond memories of the old Delray!

Places / Re: Photos of Pulaski Bar want...
Last post by msmartt - April 19, 2011, 09:40:12 amAlso, in response to Redbeard--yes, I do believe the bar business, itself, may have been sold in the late 40's, early 50's--my grandfather remained owner of the building, but rented or leased the bar to your grandfather. I think the bar then became vacant and never rented again from the late 50's early 60's until my grandfather's death in 1966.

Places / Re: Photos of Pulaski Bar want...
Last post by msmartt - April 19, 2011, 09:36:14 amThis note is in addition to request for pictures of the Pulaski Bar. My grandmother and grandfather, Rose (Wilczynski) Zegunia and Alex Zegunia, owned the Pulaski Bar (on the corner of West Jefferson and Pulaski), and lived in the apartment above. I think my grandmother established it around 1915-1918 as Rose Wilczynski, before she married Alex Zegunia in 1918-20--and Alex subsequently adopted my mom Theresa, who was born in 1911. I believe this would have been from around 1915 through 1933 for my grandmother and from 1918 through 1966, when my grandfather passed away and the property was sold to Detroit Sewerage. My mom, Theresa, married Frank Krupka (dad) in February 1937. I have memories of visiting my grandfather, Alex, every weekend during the 50s and 60s. He lived above the bar. I hope someone is left to share some remembrances of the Pulaski Bar. I only wish there were people alive who remembered my grandmother, who died 15 years before I was born (1933). Grandma ran a blind pig within the Pulaski bar during prohibition. I was told she smuggled whiskey in her corset from trips to Canada (she was a large lady). Grandma sounded like quite a character. If anyone has even a passed along memory of them, I would love to hear it.

I also have fond memories of taking the baskets of food to St. John Cantius Church to be Blessed on Good Fridays. My grandmother was buried from that church in 1933. My mom and dad were married at that church in 1937.

Last post by jhugley - April 14, 2011, 11:31:48 pm I was so small at the time. I could'nt say if the picnics I remember were in Monroe, I know that We drove a ways. I remember weeping willows, orange pop and szalona. Best of all was the music. If the grown ups were'nt singing or dancing, They were crying.
