Bonomo Candy Building

The purpose of this website is not to go over the history of Bonomo Candy, but to preserve what is left that indicates what used to be here.

Being brought up in Trump Village, what was called Section four, buildings 6 and 7, once a year, we used to have block parties. The Bonomo Candy Factory used to send over a couple of cases of candy for the kids.

While the building still stands, it is now part furniture store, the rest is city government agencies.

On West 8^th street, across the street from Luna Park housing, still stands the building that was Bonomo Candy Factory. The building is towards the north end of West 8^th Street, next to what was the Mangels Amusement ride factory, now the DMV office.
