Yes, Milt's was Aldo's. I remember Aldo's. I ate there with my family maybe once or twice...but it was not someplace I liked to go because I remember long lines and long waits for the food. Then as well as now, I never did appreciate the point of spending 2 hours waiting around for something that could be finished in 10 minutes.
I also remember Amato's music well, and, in fact, I also rented - and then applied the rental towards purchase of - a guitar from there. However, I took my lessons elsewhere, because the owner of Amato's was a heavy smoker and there was no way I was going to spend one second more in that store than I absolutely had to to get my supplies and run out gasping for breath.
It took me a minute to recognize the pictures with the AutoZone in them. I hadn't read to the end of your message - and I kept thinking those pictures must have been additional shots from southbound Kelly before realizing they were westbound 7 mile taken from Kelly. When I was last there, AutoZone wasn't there; it was still Calcaterra's. I did finally recognize the angle when I saw the snippet of St. Jude's way in the background at the right of the fourth picture.
My, my, what does it tell us when things are so bad that even an UNDERTAKER goes out of business? I never would have believed.
