Rockaway:
Then And Now
Rockaway historian, James Supple, tells us that photos of Beach
129th Street are rare and it seems that way to us! (Anybody remem-
ber Irv’s, Harbor Blues, Alan’s, Simon’s Card Shop, 29 Deli, Video
Waves, The Magnet, Papa’s Pizza to name a few?!) The free-stand-
ing building in the middle of the block is now home to End of The
A, but as you can see, you could get yarn and dry goods way back
when. On the left of the old photo is a storefront and second-floor
apartments, which is now the site of a medical building.
