I'm not too familiar with this area, but I have a question. I see in the pics that there a lot of hasidic jews. I know L-102 was very busy in the war years. Were the hasidics always there or did they move in after the war years?

No they lived primarily around 211/119 back then.....as bldgs burned down they bought a lot of the property & now have built on the same & expanded their community.
