Then and Now: Levine and Barthel blocks still thriving on Parker Street in Gardner to this day


Gardner Ale House and HUB New England anchor Parker Street like the businesses of days past

Special for The Gardner News
There are many sections of downtown Gardner that, sadly, are only mute reminders of a once grand city that was swarming with activity.
Longtime residents mourn the fact that the former Orpheum Theater building and the Maki Block have been razed, while the stately Ryan Brothers Block currently stands virtually empty.
However, in stark contrast are the former Levine and Barthel Blocks – no longer referred by their archaic names – but thriving today as the Gardner Ale House and HUB New England business and personal insurance, respectively. ....

Jim Shulman | Baby Boomer Memories: First National Stores brought first supermarket to community


During the mid- and late 1950s, my mother would shop at the First National Stores in Pittsfield and take advantage of weekly promotions.
For 25 weeks in 1955, she frequented this grocery and, each week, purchased a volume of the Funk & Wagnalls Universal Standard Encyclopedia at 99 cents a volume.
For the next 14 years, my younger sisters and I were able to use this great educational gift for school papers and projects. In subsequent years, we also got the promotion of 25 classical music LP records and then a series of 12 LPs of Broadway musicals promoted by television celebrity Ed Sullivan. The hi-fi records exposed us to music other than our baby boomer-era collection of Beatles, Stones and other rock albums. ....
