When I first moved to Jersey in early 1960's I would take the bus to Newark to do my Christmas shopping in Bambergers. There were no strip malls, discount stores or online shopping way back then, LOL!

I am originally a "Jersey Girl" too having grown up in Linden, but my grandmother lived in Newark for a while and she always took me to Bambergers. Great memories.
