Actual construction did not begin until 1891, when a streetcar line extended to the intersection of Goss and Texas Avenues. The first residents in Schnitzelburg were immigrants who arrived from Germany. "Schnitzel" refers to a food dish, popular with Austrians and Germans.

Every last Monday in July, the World Dainty Championship is held in the neighborhood, at the corner of Goss Avenue an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
