You could find nearly everything you wanted in the Village, as we said, by taking a short, often informative walk to one of the shops and markets in the Village.
When Jigger's closed, my Uncle John Bernadino opened a variety store on School St. to carry on the tradition. It was located just up from Fuller School and near the short cut path that led from School St. through the Rocha yard and on to Wilbur St. which ran parallel to School St. Here is a wonderful picture of my Uncle and his store sent by my cousin, his daughter Beverly Bernadino Blevins. I remember as a child reaching up to tender my nickel or dime or imagine: a penny for candy.
The signs on the little building are like a history lesson.
Take a look at this list that I found on Facebook and see if you can almost taste some
of these memories.

Please note: there is a new photograph on the post about Mrs. Rosalina Semas,
