I'm standing in front of 12 49 52nd
Street
between New Utrecht Avenue and 13th
Avenue in Borough Park the building
behind me is known as the cloisenberger
mixer
the rabbit of was here in the early
1950s 51 52 53 one of those years
the ones who took care of the Midfield
were
Rabbi and Mrs eckhouse as a Babbage
Hussain and chronizen of Yankovic
for many many years
his parents took care of this Mikvah
before glazenberg
owned the Mikvah but this is the
original
building behind the facades
that the one-story building
which had four Mickeys for women
who were exclusive mixes and baths two
separate rooms and two were for
not exclusive the difference was either
you paid a dollar or a dollar fifty at
50 Cent difference and on the other side
inside there the separate building in
the back property goes all the way down
was the man's Bedford which was open
every day
what happened was
Mrs Zach house
received the call one morning
from someone who asked if the mix was
open and until when is it open and she
said it's open until about 10 o'clock or
so
so the person said I'll be there at nine
o'clock may I come she said sure
and he came and
he if the cost was 25 cents to get in
and you'd get a towel
their son one of the sons noticed them
noticed the person and he said
oh and the father went to 13th Avenue to
buy something
so the son said you know I think
the personal came in as the new
laborator
I know the father came back the river
was in the Midfield
already
and the father said that
he charged at 25 cents she said I didn't
know I didn't know who he is he just
someone called and asked to make was
open
Rabbi Yankovic told me that the devil
was here for about an hour
by himself in the Midfield I mean at
that time five six in the morning and
Diving and taking the train to work
these you know when you're on him after
probably eight o'clock was very unusual
right here in Borough Park it's hard to
imagine
so nine o'clock was already late she was
the only one there it was there for an
hour
before he comes out
rubber eckhouse the one who's taking
care of the mix from changing the water
and everything else sees a taxi pulled
up right here
and a taxi you know it was also unusual
and he asked what are you doing here
says the person
clad me down on Kingston Avenue
and asked me to come back Robin Wolf
here and ask me to come back an hour
later it's 10 o'clock now I'm here to
pick him up and then everyone out and
went to the taxi and I went home
one of those years in the early 50s and
the mick from Crown Heights
the devil's going to the oil that day
and the mick franconite was being
repaired so he couldn't go so he came to
this this was the only mixer in all of
Borough Park
that was a Mickey's
notion for women
and also had an amendment this was the
this was the bill this is the mix and it
still stands there's been you know
updated and everything else and the
eckhaus has actually lived in the also
inside there in what a few rooms
so I think it's important to
you know to to know this
to know that
our holy River
came to the mcfer paid the money with
the taxi paid the 25 cents to be here
all the best only good things
