From Lynea

My name is Lynea and I grew up in Swissvale in the 1950′s. Gosh going to the Isaly’s in Swissvale was a treat. But the really big treat was to go to the Carnegie Museum in Oakland and to the Big Isaly’s afterwords. How utterly fantastic. I rented an apartment in Swissvale with my small son and the Isaly’s was just across the street. My mom stopped in their every day after work to have a cup of coffee before catching the bus up the hill to her house. Adam, my son and I would make a point to stop in and visit. Today, I was remembering the deviled crab tins you could get from the deli. I live in California now and the picture is of all the family. We all remember Isaly’s nostalgia.
