TAYLOR STREET ARCHIVES
A Chronicle of the Italian-American Experience
DEDICATION
Upon my return to Taylor Street, after decades of being away to raise my family, I am reintroduced to everyone as follows, "You remember Josie from Sheridan Park? Well, this is Josie's son. When I won the raffle (a brand new BMW car) at the Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii's Annual Summer Fest, the word that passed through the crowd and the neighborhood was, "Josie's son won the BMW."
This web site, the Taylor Street Archives, is dedicated to the memory of all those Taylor Street mothers who nurtured their Taylor Street children through a time and a place unmatched by any other. My mother, Josephine (Esposito) Romano, because of her position as the matron at Sheridan Park, had the good fortune of also becoming the surrogate mother for many of those who grew up in Taylor Street's "Little Italy." (Vincent Romano)
The Profiles of those strong-willed mothers who nurtured us through the Great Depression (and other, not so visible, obstacles of similar magnitude) will be found in these archives under a variety of subgroups:
-Surname
-School (Goodrich, Dante, Skinner, Guardian Angel, etc)
-Street (Peoria, Bishop, Arthington, Polk, etc.),
-Church (Holy Guardian Angel, Notre Dame, St. Callisius, etc)
-Summer Camp (Bowen Country Club, Duncan Y, etc.)
-Home Town in Italy
The profiles of their husbands and children will also be contained in these Archives.
