Speaking of red phones who remembers Across the Street restuarant?

Odd you mentioned ACROSS THE STREET RESTAURANT that was my very first job in 1974-75. It was a fun place to work at.

Do you remember how you ordered your food?

What was the name of the game room/pool hall at the north end of that strip shopping center?

Do you remember how you ordered your food?If I'm not mistaken. I remember ordering by phone. Then waiting on a return call notifying me that my order was ready. Spaghetti Red was our dish of choice.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone here remember Shaw Drug in the Mayridge Shopping Center and if so, what was the name of the original Grocery store next to it....Now, what was on the far north end next to Shaw Drug?
Jim's grocery, I knew a guy was soda jerk at Shaw's. Wasnt there a dry cleaner north of that? I remember TGY where dollar store is now.

Spagetti Red.... That was one of my favorites.

Anyone remember the Round Table bar?

How about the Razz-Ma-Tazz just off Agnew & 59th before it became a S/J? It later became Pannama Reds.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, a bunch of the young people never knew what Foy's was. Foy was Jim Prices brother. TG&Y was at 1600 S.W. 74th st. We always called the Store 74th and Penn never really thought of any other address for it. Or it was called store #411.
The lady that ran the toy department (Arlene Stalnaker) took major pride in the selection of models she kept on hand....Shaw Drug's North neighbor was just
a neighborhood cleaners and yet around the corner there was aboot shop and a local bar....remember Red/Gen?
Here's one I had forgotten but a lot of you will remember...Remember Jack's Steak House on south Penn? Many stories came out of that place huh guys?
Wasn't there a Sirloin Stockade there once?

Wasn't there a Sirloin Stockade there once?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a Sirloin Stockade where Walgreen's (CVS) is located now. Across the street from the old Country Club Drive-Inn. Then a Chinese joint.

Anyone remember the Round Table bar?

Was originally owned by an old Grant Graduate ....Joe Don Garner....He has since passed away. Red/Gen used to frequent the Round Table quite a bit.

Anyone remember the Walkabout bros.?

Odd you mentioned ACROSS THE STREET RESTAURANT that was my very first job
in 1974-75. It was a fun place to work at.

Do you remember how you ordered your food?

Duh! Big red phone.

Anyone remember the Round Table bar?

In the Almonte Shopping Center. The food was pretty good.

There was one on the north side off of 39th Expressway a block or two west of
May. It became a biker gang bar. I believe the Outlaws hung out there.

How about the Razz-Ma-Tazz just off Agnew & 59th before it became a S/J? It
later became Pannama Reds.

What's S/J?

Strip joint.

Anyone remember the Walkabout bros.?
I knew them well, I ran with their uncle, Don Fowler.

I knew Billy pretty good, Warren not so much. The Walkabout family lived just down the street from us on S.W. 61st st.. Billy was a big time Vietnam war hero. You can enter his name on any search and read the whole story.You may know George Goure he was friends with Warren.

If I'm not mistaken. I remember ordering by phone. Then waiting on a return call notifying me that my order was ready. Spaghetti Red was our dish of choice.

Talked to Warren about three weeks before he passed away. Still an angry guy...don't know why....Once you got to know him though he was alright....

We've shared this before but, Hal Smith (Charleston's etc.) began his career in the food Service business right there at the 59th and Agnew restaurant....Frying potatoes and slinging burgers......

Too much nectar?:kicking:

You guys were talking about Across The Street. I remember it so vividly, and especially one night when I was there with my older sisters (USG '62 and '63). They were already out in the working world by then, and there was a high school kid there with what looked like his girlfriend and another guy. He had apparently gotten into a fender bender on the way over to the restaurant, in the fmaily car. He was sitting in the booth behind us, really "cussing" alot, probably not horrible according to today's standards but enough to burn my ears at that time (probably 1966 or so?). My sister Shirley went and told the manager, who warned them to keep it clean. When we got ready to leave, Shirley went over to the kids and apologized for going to the manager, but told them that she was concerned about the language since I was there. They apologized for their language, and Shirley told the boy not to worry, that his parents will cool down and everything would be okay. He thanked her for that.

Food wise, what I really remember most was their Suzy-Qs and the "400" drink (chocolate milk, a little soda, and ice).

Can't believe this "little thread" has grown to almost 30K views!

I know some of you remember Grider's grocery store on S. Penn. There was a Rexzall drug store in the same shopping center at one time, later on a little restaurant went in that spot or close. Anyone remember the name? It used to get a big crowd for breakfast.

I remember a couple of places my dad would go to for lunch when he worked at Service Container Corporation, which was 1 block W. of the Farmers Market, this would have been in 1959--1964. Both places were near downtown, Shipmans Cafe on Reno and there was a store that made/sold, made to order sandwiches, it was just S. of I-40, near Hudson--Harvey, but I can't remember the name.

You couldn't get a cheese burger at Burger Bros.

I bought thousands of dollars of meat and cheeze from Burger Brothers for work lunchs in the '70s.
