Joseph E. Grosberg, Supermarket Pioneer of Schenectady
Jewish causes were of special interest to Grosberg, and he was instrumental in starting up a number of Jewish organizations around Schenectady, including the Young Men's Hebrew Association which eventually evolved into the Schenectady Jewish Community Center. Grosberg was also a real estate investor, purchasing such notable Schenectady properties as the Imperial Building, the former G.E. Emmons' house once located at 1227 Wendell Avenue, the former C.S. Smith and Company Wholesale Grocers building on Erie Blvd (renamed the Grosberg Building up until the 1960s), and the Fuller Street Car Barn from the bankrupt Schenectady Railway Company, as well as many others.
In addition to showcasing Grosberg's life and work, the book contains Grosberg's family history and introduces the reader to other members of the Grosberg family from Schenectady and Detroit, Michigan. A list of references is included at the end of the book to aid others who are doing their own research into any of the topics included in this book.
Living at Langster Motel
Thirteen-year-old Cali Jarvis isn’t really homeless. She just doesn’t
live in a normal home. Instead, she lives in a single room with her mother
and two sisters at Langster Motel. In addition to her family, there are
plenty of other people who live at the motel, including way too many
little kids, an assortment of parents, three high school kids, an old man,
and just two 13-year-olds—Cali and her best friend Rivka. Living at
Langster Motel is no vacation for anyone, but when you’re in middle
school, it’s downright embarrassing.
When Cali and Rivka start school in the fall, Cali is determined to reinvent her life and change her image from being a nobody to being a somebody. She convinces Rivka that their ticket to popularity at their new school is to get in good with a group of popular girls, and Cali’s willing to do plenty to achieve that goal. The biggest challenge is to do it without anyone finding out where she and Rivka live.
Living at Langster Motel is a story about a young girl’s embarrassment about the place where she lives and her struggle to accept the unique community she is a part of.
