Doug inspired me to start this thread.

The rules are as follows:

See how far you can go back in history and name a business which we will start off with the letter "A" in the alphabet. There will be no multiple business`s in one posting. Only one letter per posting so everyone can join in.

I will start it off with the letter "A"

"A"= ACROSS THE STREET RESTAURANT.......S.W. 59th and agnew

I think it was on Portland by Will Rogers Park, closed in the late 70's and became a club. There was another ice rink built in the early 90's on Rockwell near 30th in Bethany that closed 8-10 years ago called Iceland.
