Histori

I'm 69 years old. I've been in Brooklyn since 1959. I'm from Provincia in Caserta in Italy, near Naples. When I got here, I spent three months on Long Island, in Huntington, working on a farm... then someone put a bug in my head and said there's a good spot on Avenue J. I do not even know Avenue J exists. So I came here with my accountant on Saturday night, and this corner was rented out. It's very crowded, street. So I took the phone number, I call the owner, and he said to come see me Sunday, make sure you bring a deposit. When I opened the shop, my partner's name was Farina. My name is DeMarco. So when the lawyer made the paper, he put the two names together. In Fara. In for me, and Fara for her. I bought my partner in 1978, I think. I use the same name; I did not bother changing it.
