I remember that ... first place I went for a real haircut:D

Later, when I lved on Rishton Rd., I went to a place on Lower Barnes St., close to the Forts ... can't remember the name of the barber tho'.

A while back, I mentioned the name, "Bacigalupo" to an Italian bud of mine. He said that name was most common in Southern Italy, especially Naples.

No ... doesn't ring a bell. I moved out of Queen St. after my parents divorced and stayed with my grandad on Rishton Rd. I think I was five at the time.

Well you've introduced me to a new expression there Eric. Never heard "kitty corner" before, had to look it up.

PS I see my very erudite and obvious post above has been deleted. No surprises there then. But thanks for the like anyway - I still got that!

Re: bacigalupo,?
 

You should have gone with "Richard cranium":D

Sometimes North American expressions slip into my posts ... Just habit ... "Kitty corner" is quite a normal way of giving directions over here ... a lot simpler than saying "on the other side of the street at a diagonal across the intersection" (pronounced "innersection", of course;))
