here is a tune that ate a hole in my brain back in the day....whatever happened to this guy?

YouTube - Tall Paul Meade "Drivin" commcercial from 1980 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTjbb3bqqLs&feature=related)

Hey, those are the two guys that played at Crystal's Pizza all the time. They played that atleast twice a night. Their only claim to fame I believe.

Wow I never knew that. But since you mentioned it those voices do sound very familiar from crystals.

Who produced those ads? Were they done locally?

speaking of crystals..

I don't know who produced them. I just know those were the guys that sang the jingle and they wanted everyone to know it. I did like listening to them though.

All right, Now you guys have left the "Old Timers" in the dark. My only claim to fame with Crystals is taking my KIDS there for pizza an I have the Moose from Crystal's hanging over my fireplace.....He can't sing so I don't know but have you guys got the memories of the Bait House at Lake Overholser? the Great Hamburgers they used to sell and the wonderful Minnows:.ajust kiddin' I think "Cabin Fever" has finally set in....I'm going to work if I have to get out the old Cushman.....see ya next time....Thanks for the memories....

Was the "Bait House" the place on the east side of Overholster next to the ranger station, or the bar at the NE corner of the lake?

They both were bait houses. The "bar" was J.B.& Geneva Ferrell's, they had great burgers. The one next to the ranger station was Elmer's then Daves and I forget who else's. Elmer made the best home made chilli you ever ate.

The Bar/Bait House on the East side of Lake Overholser @ NW 39th was Pauline's.

I have the Moose from Crystal's hanging over my fireplace... He can't sing...


If moose could talk...



... the Bait House at Lake Overholser? the Great Hamburgers they used to sell
and the wonderful Minnows...

Ah yes, the Lake Holdhercloser bait house. That was a good place. Burgers
with a side of minnows. One day the girl working the bait and grill filled a man's
minnow bucket and proceeded to start dressing the burgers. She didn't wash
her hands.

ACK!



...I'm going to work if I have to get out the old Cushman...


Prunette and I are woking on getting tires for the '31 Model A. I'd like to take it
to one of the get togethers. Maybe this summer.

Hey 64! Mind if I ask how you obtained the moose head?

The Bar/Bait House on the East side of Lake Overholser @ NW 39th was Pauline's.

Was Pauline's after J.B. died from diabetes. First they took off one leg, then the next. Next thing he's dead. He was kinda cranky, had ole time juke box that bubbled. Had it turned around backwards cause he couldnt handle the noise. My grandma said the got bust for making burgers out of rabbit and squirrel meat. I dont know if was true of not.

That used to be Quick's. I hung out there a lot.

Hey 64! Mind if I ask how you obtained the moose head?

My best friend son found it in a dumpster when they began tearing down and remodeling Crystals. He got it out and didn't know what to do....We had just built a new house and my wife (infinite wisdom) wanted a Moose for over the fireplace....I looked everywhere for one and found out he had this one and the chase began. our Fireplace has a large enough mantel to handle a Moose...So, there it is....It's gotta be 50 + years old however......Still looks good....

Something I remember about Agnew Hardware is the guys there always knew what you were talking about and they always had it. You go around town to the different Lumber yards and finally go there and they would have it and be cheaper than anyone.

That's cool 64! I'am envious I want one too. One of my old friends was a manager at the southside location. His name was Chris Stubbs and his brother owned Stubbs sporting goods on Penn..

Wasn't there a Neptunes on S. Western where Twitty Burger used to be?

I was wondering wasn't there a restaurant next to where Office Depot is now?

I rememeber back around 76-77 neptunes had a promotional upside down coke glass, and you got it for free if you ordered there meal combo....sheesh I had a kajillion of them glasses....that just brought back another memory the kids back then would chew there straws and make them into a slinky type objects and hang them from there mirriors and our visors had all the SONIC plastic cup animal like the monkey, girafee and dangit I got what the others were.

You must mean Nick, his dad Charlie and older brother Chuck now deceased. Was the sister named Mary Ann? Forgot their mom's name. Heard Chris was with Evans Electric years ago..

Chuck Stubbs was a great character. He matured really early and could easily pass for a guy in his mid 20s when we were still in HS. I think he started shaving in the 8th grade. Anyway, he used to get dressed up and go to car dealerships and ask to test drive the high end cars and they would let him. He would drive it around to his friends houses to get a giggle. He was also voted "the most likely to succeed" of our class, but I don't think it worked out tooo well for him, though. But he sure was a nice person.

... had all the SONIC plastic cup animal like the monkey, giraffe and dangit I got

A mermaid, monkey, elephant... there were others but the brain isn't responding.
They were at other drive-ins, too. The colors I remember were red, green, blue
and amber.

-The funny thing is I seen some on ebay about a year ago. There was 4 of them and they sold for 126.00....musta had gold inserts!

Yeah! I can tell you knew him. He was a heck of a guy.

Chris at one time owned that ice cream shop in Capitol Hill (forgot the name) He was also the mananger at Underwood's on 59th for awhile. I don't remember his sister's name, I never met her.

Oh man, Big Ed died Thursday. I used to go to Big Ed's at 89th and Western all the time and can still remember the flavor of the burgers (might just be the grease I remember, but were still great). Nice to see that the remaining store kept the classic look of Big Ed's.

Eddie Thomas was another great guy. I hadn't seen him in twenty years and due to his size I would have assumed he died years ago of a heart attack.

OMG no way! here is a few memories of BIG ED, When we had our body shop we took cars regularly to hibdons when it was hibdons! I met him there he was getting left side tires ONLY he said because of his size he wore them out faster than he did the passenger side then he just chuckled a heck of a nice fellow. Also whenever someone from the shop sold a car, they had to buy the rest of us a BIG EDS GIANT HAMBURGER with the huge fries and all. It came in the big ole pizza box.....he is going to be missed.

Puckets was on 29th. BUT they were both on the south side of the streets they
were on :Smiley063:)

time for nothing?

I was aware of Gruber. I spent a month there one weekend. I believe it was used
during Viet Nam, too.

That's surprising to here that Will Rogers was a camp. Wow! If Dad had heard
that I may have never been a south sider!

At the bottom of your screen the scroll bar like the scrollbar on the side you scroll down with. Just pull it to the side and you will see it.
