Anyone else still say Genovese

even though the name has changed twice now? DH and I both still call the ones around here Genovese.

I was telling a neighbor where a store was and said "In the shopping center with Genovese" and they had no idea what I was talking about. Chat Icon

I do that with the shopping center near my parents' house. It was Genovese for so long, I can't call it anything else! Chat Icon

Yup, I do that too. There was a place in Levittown called Caruso's for years and years. It's changed names a lot of times but when we were dispatched there from Firecomm in Maspeth, they would always call it "The old Carusos" too. Chat Icon

Re: Anyone else still say Genovese

I also still called it Mid-Island Mall instead of Broadway Mall until a couple years ago.

I'm stuck in the past I guess.
