    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.

    Those Walkabout boys were the toughest guys I ever met. Lotta stories about those two. When Billy died his obituary was in all the newspapers nationwide. I read about it here in Ashville N.C..

    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.
