This is my last name as well...but I could never find a relation.
I think the building might still be there.

Never heard of them. Maybe that's because I normally don't travel that far during my younger years. The only place I've been to is Jacob Riis Park Beach. I go there to check out the topless girls at the beach

I live in the Rockaways but on the west end by Riis Park. This is located on east end by Nassau County boarder . Building is being demolished for a 9 story apt bldg. The Rockaway peninsula had numerous dealers in 50s and 60s . Have zero today . Quick google pic of the dealership on google .

Hahaha! Very true
The Rockaways is like a mini Staten Island ….. very isolated and separated by bridges which make very unique and different from the rest of the city . I’ll probably skip NJ and go straight to FLA.
