I THINK our next Southside posters meeting is on Sat. the 17th, maybe he could make that meeting but it would be more fun for him if he were to read this whole thread first just to see "where we are coming from."

Correction....next lunch is Saturday, January 24th @ 12:30pm at Dan's Ol' Time Diner, 84th & S. Western.

Does anyone happen to remember what yr the time capsules were buried? My Uncle attended Grant and wanted me to ask you guys if anyone remembers what yr it was. He Graduated in 1960 his name was Jimmy Sanner

There was one for the classesof '63 and '64. This was one of the teacher's Pet Projects.

Yes, I remember the Western Dip on Western. Those were the days!

Does anyone remember Cagles Drive In on South Shields?

The name is familiar but I'm not sure. Where was it on Shields? That's Spartan
territory, you know...

There was a Mexican Restaurant called Pedro's or Peppy's around 56th. It was
grrrrrreat.

It was at 5205 S. Sheilds, Cagle re-opened in the 80's, as Cagle's Sliver Bullet. But they folded up. Did any of you go to Hotsie Hotdogs on 27th and S.May? They had another store across from the Y on s.penn.

A friend of mine owned the Hotsy on 27th in the 70's. Good dogs.

[Spartan '79]

Anyone remember 77 Foods on Sheilds? We used to ride our bikes there to get a Rootbeer and Beef Jerky.

I knew them too, think Stan Blancett is only one still around. I cant remember his sister's name. "Sandra" maybe? I liked the Wiener Burger they made. Maybe I can get the Los Tacos people to make one.

[Generals64]

Hey, Mr. Crwth:........where3 do you live now?....do you remember the things we have talked about?....How about the old Texaco Station on the Southeast corner of 44th/Penn?....do you remember when some kids shot the hands off the clock and then bragged about it to a local Cop....Didn't take him very long to find the suspects....Huh?

Does anybody remember the restaurant on SW 41 or 42 and S. May. It was
called Swyden's. Later it changed hands and, of course, the name changed to
something else but I don't remember what.

It was a Mexican Restaurant for a while. However, somewhere here lately on one of the threads someone gave the answer to the question. Wasn't it by the Telephone building on 42nd and May...East Side?

That's the right place but it was a couple of different restaurants long before it
became a Mexican restaurant. Was Smith's the second owner? Mabel's?

[Spartan '79]

My wife who was a Grant Grad. in '79 and I are going to try to attend the next get together. Is it still at Dan's on the 24th?

I think yopu're right about Smith's......but, Mabel's comes to mind also. I lived on that side of Town and in that vicinity when they were there. Do you remember the old library that was there?....they then changed it all to Capitol Hill Library.....Gosh, new Memory.....Maybe the south side is coming back alive...

I went to the Capitol Hill library but I don't remember where it was. Mom would
drive and we kids were too busy fighting to know where we were.
