Never thought of that...I still have some New Skelteon keys and have one Church Key...Heineken beer has to have that to open them.....Remember the Stag beer signs that were always everywhere? Or pabst Blue Ribbons. There used to be a bar on 44th and May Avenue....they had that place wrapped in Pabst Blue Ribbon Signs.....Never did like the taste of that one. Then I remember when the southside started getting Coors......was never warm much less hot....Welcome to the Rocky Mountains Coors Beer....

Stole [U]ONE beer from my grandfathers fridge: STAG. One drink was all I needed. Coors was popular but when popular did not matter anymore PBR for me.

Jax was in New Orleans. The brewery is now a museum. A place in San
Antonio made Jax for a few years. It was a SW USA beer.

I can't stand beer.

I sent a sample of Jax to the health dept one time. received a litter back
saying "we regret to inform you your horse has dibeates"

On the other hand Fallstaff was a classic. And recently spotted Schlitz
at the liquor store.

The Jax brewery was devastated during Katrina. I don't know if they have or are going to rebuild the insides. It was right in the middle of the storm drainage and flooding....Was there....Pruner...We all believe you don't like Beer?????

That's too funny!

Fallstaff was the sponsor for Baseball's Game of the Week with Pee Wee
Reese and Dizzy Dean.

How did Schlitz make Milwaukee famous?

Wiley Post Park! On the east side of Robinson was one of those WPA children pools along with a rock "clubhouse" with a cement floor. Free to "swim" all day and they had other activities. They had a record player. Countless times during the day people would lift the tonearm when they were barefoot and get the snot shocked out of them.
West of Robinson was a regulation pool. It cost to get in but it had depth. When I was in the third grade my brother and I would walk to the park from 26th and Lee. Never had any problem. Would repeat it through grade six.

Through my working days I was on third shift the majority of the time. Used to go to Vegas a lot as well. I say I went into my Vegas mode one too many times. Try to get into bed by 2:00am but seldom asleep until around 4:00.

Both you guys stay up too late...Ya'll were probably the ones that sold the toilet paper to T-P the houses in your younger days. One time in highschool one of the girls house was t.p.ed and the guy thought he was in LOV with her so he took Sak Rete and put out a heart and I Love YOu and then turned on the water hose....You can still see some of it...

I was the one who brought up Alvin Crow on the music thread. This question is more suited to this one. Did you go to school with Dennis "Buck" Buchanan? He went on to play center for O.U. Started for the '74 and '75 National Championship Teams.

We've discussed old South Side Performers on this thread.....But, where (I'm Old) were the Battle of the Bands held on the southside....????I really don't know.....

Anyone remember the big slide that used to sit on the east side of the street, accross from Skate-O-Rama? It was in the early 70's when I went there and you slid down it on burlap sacks.. I think it was right next to where the Pizza Hut is.
