Here is a little history of the Ginsberg family and the beginning of the Boro Plaza. Anna and Harry Ginsberg moved to Wall Street in Rockaway in 1910 where they set up a small grocery store. While raising two sons, Charles born 1918, and Eugene born in 1921; Anna and Harry spent long hours, worked hard and eventually opened "Barnee Google's Shack" on West Main Street. This new sandwich shop and grocery store served the masses between 1922 and 1928. In 1928 the State of New Jersey opened the new Route 6 ( now Route 46) to help bring the summer vacationers from New York to Lake Hopatcong, a summer community. Barnee Google's moved to Route 6 and became The Roadside Grill serving bus loads of vacationers on their way to the lake. This bar and grill featured dancing and a rodeo where the trailer park is now located. In 1940 Barnee's Trailer Park was opened in the rear of the 16 acre parcel adjacent to the Ginsberg's home. The second generation then came of age.
