THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 2, 2021 Page 15 MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 6 player for the Bellevue Cadillac), take it from here: “Mike married my mother’s sister Lal, and his sister Millie married my mother’s brother Jimmy. Henry Picillo was the franchise owner, Pam’s actual uncle. It was mostly in the 60’s that I remember that place. Actually, not until I got to high school. A small, narrow place, I used to go there after school or at lunch time. My mother’s sister Sue used to work for Henry, and she used to make us a drink she called a ‘zombie’ (a combination of every flavor soda mixed together.) I remember lots of family there that have passed on since. Great, lifelong memories and the best doggies ever.” Jimmy’s sister Marge (Capone) also was a regular at J&N: “Actually J&N in Malden was run by Pam’s uncle Henry Picillo, her father’s brother. Mike’s sister Catherine was always there working. Henry and Catherine, if I recall, all lived with my uncle Jim in Medford. He married Mike’s other sister Millie. But J&N was the meeting place in the 60’s, my mother would drop us off in the Square on a Saturday, she’d go to Sparks or Jordan Marsh or go to the Washington St home of Mikes and visit his wife Lal (Pam’s mom). We’d go to the Granada then J&N and wait there for her. Henry was a really nice guy. He’d give us a soda cup and let us mix our own soda. A little orange aid, some cola, a little root beer. Then we’d get a hot dog or a burger. If I remember, the burgers were steamed too. Eventually everyone wound up there; Pam, her mother, my mother, brother, and sister – especially if we went to Granada Lanes. My mother loved bowling. Pam has a ton of memories also. But I remember Henry being a real nice guy and Catherine was sweet too.” Yes, indeed, Pam remembers that the family Christmas Eve would be celebrated in the cozy confines of Joe & Nemo’s. Her father Mike’s friends and the whole extended Italian family would gather, lock the door, load the long counter up with an Italian feast, plenty of spirits and celebrate the holy spirit(s?) J&N-style. She continued: “Every Friday I went to the Malden Public Library then after, I would visit J&N for the giant pickles in the jar on the counter before my ride home on the ‘blue bus.’ Uncle Henry was a soft spoken, unassuming man, complete opposite of my dad (Mike). My Aunt Catherine, who was a spitfire, was always behind the counter with Uncle Henry. Such wonderful family memories.” “This is the end, beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end” – so, Joe & Nemo’s disappears from Malden Square (and our lives), but a sole survivor remains for a few more years at the bottom of Beacon Hill right off Cambridge Street close to the Red Hat on Bowdoin Street. From time to time on Saturday mornings, when I would take a ride with my father to the pushcarts at Haymarket, he would treat me to a half dozen or so doggies before the schlep back to Malden. That was the last time I had one of those treasured steamed treats. Something as simple as a steamed hot dog triggered so many pleasant memories from the past, in so many people.

And we yearn for the days our parents and grandparents were young and strong, Kings of the whole wide world!
