bloodthirst Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Klines on Washington Ave for clothes.... I too miss Pudgies and the old A&W car hop places (the one on the parkway and the one in Owego).... For restaurants, I miss Jim'n'Nicks BBQ that was on the ave... best ever BBQ place in the triple cities. I'm with ya on the Jim'n'Nicks. I moved here from Bradford county Pa. and for a long time this area never felt like home and I felt like an outsider. I remember most of the businesses you all are talking about and it helps me feel like this is actually my home town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Mascarelli's (sp?) was a great one. The was a German market over on State St near the ice cream place too that was good. V-Drive in! Ha, fantastic. Mars Pharmacy was owned by 2 name Charlie and Nellie. Nellie's sister owned Shish-Kabobs and Suds and then Taz, or the place before Taz. Eagle soda, forgot about that one. The candy store on Vestal Ave near MacArthur School we called Fannies. Not sure of the other name listed in here. The guy used to leave his dinner table behind a curtain behind the register and come out to sell to us. Good selection of comics also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfMan Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I'm surprised no one said Boscovs, what with all the "Boscovs will be closing in _____" posts here over the years, I figure SOMEONE would have believed it and thought they did actually close. Speaking of that, we haven't had a "Boscov's is closing in ____" thread started here since October. Someone is sleeping at the wheel.

Guest thomas zevon Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Maciarelli's Market on Susquehanna St. was the absolute best for meat & cheese. Also the original Argo diner with the individual juke boxes in the booths on Court St. brings back fond memories. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest-Facts Are Better-* Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 A&W Root Beer and also Long John Silver's is still in business on the Vestal Parkway ! Although, no car-hops. I wouldn't say still in business... the new places are nothing like the original drive-in burger joints... and it was over 30 years between one closing and the other opening. While I was never at original one that was where the U-Haul is now... the food at the Cortland drive-in is so much better. The burgers in Cortland melt in ones mouth. Well, they did before the fire a few years ago. While they have changed since then, they still taste a lot better than the the assembly line food in the new combo store in Vestal. What is sad, is that they no longer franchise new A & W drive-ins. They only grant franchises for stand alone, combined with other Yum! Brand restaurants, food courts or attached to gas stations. Fowlers had their perfume counter down in the basement. And their discount clothes. Anyone remember the talking Christmas tree at JC Penney? We used to terrorize that girl that had to sit inside that thing!... I remember that tree... Went inside it as a kid in the late 70's before they moved to Oakdale. Was fun making the eyes open and close... and talk through the speaker. Also remember the stairs were right in front of the main doors going down to linens and other housewares.
