Dairy Queen on 36th and S. Walker made the same spiffy move while I was in school.

I loved when you placed your order and they waved at you when it was ready.

Went to Los Tacos the other day and asked if they would still do it. No real response.

Am I that old?

I'm not sure but it seems that Cock O The Walk was originaly downtown. Don't know where it wal located but Dad said it was one of the few "off Limits" bars in town.

Anyone remember the West Side Grocery and Meats? It might be older than any of us. I just saw a picture of it recently and it is a Capitol Hill business.

Guess we could call and see if they still serve food. You never know about those type places. They can change owners in a heartbeat.

what is the date of the Spring Lake post card? I see the number 33 but I think that is the card number in a series and not 1933.

The grounds are more plush. During the 60's it was covered by concret, a rock and ? mixture, and other such things............

They had an arcade with all kinds of toys inside. In some of the vending machines were autographed postcards of movie, tv stars, mucial groups, singers..............printed of course............
They weren't worth the penny you spent but to a young school kid you were cool.
Wonder what one would be worth today.

All I see is the 33 also there is no date....must have been very early though

There was a "Cock O The Walk" downtown back in the day before all the urban renewal crap. IIRC it was on Broadway around California or Reno. I remember going in there only a couple of times.

Oh my God!! Are you older than USG'60? I didn't think that was possible.

Just kidding '60...........

How about a business that was in Capitol Hill for years, moved but still uses the name;
Capitol Hill Florists...................

Know the people that own Capitol Hill Florist well.....that is a bit of nostalgic history though. Do you remember Larue's Florist on 29th street? How about Cassell's Gun Repair on 29th/Walker. Does anyone remember Hardigree's Donut Shop on Main and Western?......How about the building on the Northwest corner of Main and Western?...Deep Rock Service Station.....Long time ago....
Community IGA Stores?
.....................................See ya next time:.........generals64

I remember Larue's Florist, Cassell's Gun repair and the Deep Rock Service Station, just the bldg not the station..........Got me on the Donut Shop (Take Dennis Donuts over all then or today) There were several Community IGA's...........

Where was it?

SE corner of 36th & Walker. Across the Street from the high school. Did his own meat cutting in a little old dark room in the back. Would cut steaks bigger than you can find them today.

Anyone remember Tiny Tim's at SW 67th & Western?

Butchers are soon going to be a thing of the past. There was a time when
grocers were proud of their butchers and their ability to select the best meat
for it's customers.

When was the last time you saw a 7 bone roast? What happens when you
ask for a special grind of meat? Get a lame excuse, i.e. we just washed the
grinder, or we don't do that.

Wheelers will do it but I don't know anyone else........

When I was 14 I was hit by a car while riding my little Yamaha 80 in Harrah.
Broke my right leg and messed-up my left knee. Spent 2 weeks in hospital and all summer in a wheelchair. The woman who hit me was the mother of the butcher at Humpty Dumpty. We lived two blocks from the store and often traded there. He was a really great guy but his Mom was a drunk(She hit me on a Sunday at 11:30 while pulling into a bar. She was already drunk) so nothing was ever said either way.

When it came to donuts it was always Frankie's Big Donuts for us. They were at NW 19th & Portland.

Albertson's was good about attempting to give you a good personal cut of meat. But you have to realize the meat they were supplied with was not "choice".

Were there Dennis Donut shops on the northside. Honest question. Since we seldom went north I don't know.

I don't know, I don't think there were in our area, Windsor Hills.

Anyone remember Tiny Tim's at SW 67th & Western?

I remember Tiny Tim's. I also remember the giant slide that was nearby. I remember when S. May was dirt road from SW 89th south. I remeber the farm that was where OCCC is now. Ah the memories. :)

You are correct oh mighty trout wrangler..............

I remember the slide, It was by a gas station that is now where the car wash is located between 59th and 67th. Does anyone remember Groves they relocated from 44th and Robinson to Southwestern Plaza on the SW corner where Favorites is now. I miss that place food was decent and for a good price too.

????Where at on 44th and Robinson? All I remember being there were 2 motels and a "service station" (when was the last time you heard that?)
There was a grocery store at 44th and Walker.
Not saying you are wrong I just can't remember one at 44th and Robinson.

South West corner of 44th and Robinson is a resturant don't remember the name of it. I think it used to be Groves

Anyone remember the dairy that used to be on SW 59th just east of Western?

Seems like they had maybe a 1/2 section of land there for the herd. I shoveled many a load of sh&* outta there, every afternoon after school. Best I can remember it was about 1959.

Groves original location on 44th & Robinson was on the south side of 44th at the robinson street light it was across the street from the Melrose courts motel it is some other motel now, but I wouldnt stay there it looks nasty nasty

I think it was Gray's Dairy. Wasn't it closer to S. Walker? We got our milk
from there in the late 50's and early 60's. When we found out that Meadow
Gold made porch deliveries we started using them. It wasn't the same.
Gray's milk had to be shaken for a while so the cream would mix with the milk.

I used to just pour the cream on my cereal until Ma Prune knocked me into
the next week. I still don't think I've fully recovered.
