Guest mitchethekid Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 The 1st salad bar was at The Villa. The Alamo came after. The Villa was in that old gravel pit across from Stars. Trust me on the accuracy of my statements. The resturant next to BCHS mentioned earlier was the hang out of the long haired kids. (I can't remember the name either) but the couple who ran it never smiled and looked like strung out...gaunt. The had great brownies. Kerns Hobbies. Westons. Meyers Furriers. Drazens. Sissons. McLeans. Mr. Sid. The Mr.Peanut Shop. Lescron Books. The Hub. The Ritz Tea Room. The Strand, Reviera, The Capitol and The Art Theaters. (Debut of Deep Throat!) The Fountains with the Polinesian Room. The Establishment. The Inferno. The Beaugart, The Bachelor Button and the Carlton. Amps! Mac's Mufflers. The original Panchos Pit located in the guy's garage in Appalachain. Someone mentioned Coco's. I have alot of the original Surgio Bustemante sculptures in my house. The tiger head is my favorite. The glass work is in The Plantation House. My last comment is about Philla Sales. I worked there in the early 70's as a stock boy. Alan Jablon was my neighbor. Steve Stein fired me (for a few days) because I ate a candy bar that was in a half- empty box of them. He got on the phone to Alan and said "we are being robbed" and I looked around for the dastardly criminals. He was talking about me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manowarrior Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 The place in the Oakdale mall that used to sell chocolate covered ice cream bars on a stick. They would dip them for you and even put nuts on them. Anyone remember that? @ It was Bob's Old Fashioned Lemonade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingbat Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I remember it well! They had great penny candy selection. And when I got older I remember scrounging up a $1.05 to buy a pack of cigs, ahhh those were the days! Unfortunately they didn't have a very good carding system back then! I was 13 and buying smokes and candy! (they were .90 then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Grants Swats that place on the Vestal Parkway with the first salad bar? I don't know about Grants. Was it really one of your favorites? I dunno, it really wasn't anything special at all, just a generic department store of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfMan Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi Fi records in JC!!! Yes! I was thinking of old records stores to post about earlier today but forgot. Also, that one that was on the second (?) floor of the building that used to be across from the Art Theatre and whatever the biz was in where Yannis is now, I guess it had to be where Robbies parking lot is now.. Can't recall its name. Also, the one that was in the Vestal Plaza, was it called Discount Records? Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, never was in it, but what was the name of the bar almost on the corner of Court and Carroll, the one that got fire-bombed? They ever catch who did that?

Saturday'sChild Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Metro's had really good hot pie(Pizza), used to love it when I was a kid. The place with the square dancing was called Grover's Barn. Remember going by there on Saturday nights when I was young and you could hear the music and the place was packed. Metro's is still open and still serving hot pies. Food is good and reasonable prices, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday'sChild Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I miss Cocco's on the parkway. A&W is still open but they don't serve the rootbeer milkshakes. They were the best. We recreate them with a smoothie maker - rootbeer, vanilla ice cream and rootbeer extract, but they're not quite the same. Don't remember the name but does anyone remember the small lunch place across the street from IBM bldg 14 (or that general area) that served the mac n cheese on Fridays. It was different in that it was a smooth white sauce over penne pasta. It was great. Never could figure out the recipe. The place was torn down to make room for more parking lots.
