AN HISTORICAL LOOK:
Velleggia’s was initially established by Enrico and Maria Velleggia in 1937 and remained a family restaurant until it closed in 2008. There is still an existing Velleggia's family-owned business across the street called
Casa di Pasta
, a retail and wholesale store offering pasta products, sauces, cheeses and Italian groceries.

Comments about last month's VINTAGE PHOTO:
"That is Fawn Street looking towards Central Avenue ... the fence on the left is the old Poggi's Pharmacy back yard before they tore down their house and built the building currently standing at Fawn and Exeter Streets, and which most people remember as the pharmacy. Ms. Poggi once told me that when they tore down the house, her family lived in a little trailer in the yard until the new house and pharmacy were finished.
The building at the far end is where Ms. Bessie lived; she had a laundromat there until the riots in the 1960s. Behind the porches is the carriage house and behind that is my brother's house (Ms. Sansome's former home). Next to that is 1308 Gough Street - my grandmother's house (my brother still owns it; he owns three on that block.)
Beyond the house with the porches is Eden and Gough; you will see houses no longer there (the projects are there now). The big building on the right some might remember as Flavorex - it is now a condo building (the Malt House). The house behind the fence with windows on the side was Ms. Barney's."

EDITOR'S NOTE:
Note the signage in Italian on the left: Negozio di Benevolenza (translates to Benefit Shop). I have since found this photo on Baltimore Sun's website and therefore, give photo credit.
Baltimore Sun's photo description: Italian immigrant families lived on Fawn Street in 1923. In the distance is St. Michael the Archangel Church tower and at the right is the former Gottlieb Bauernschmidt and Straus Malt House.
