[Rickster]

Don't remember Mr. Swiss but I do remember Don's Drive-In at 59th & Agnew.

Did you go to Grant?...If so, when did you graduate? or whatever???I believe the Street Mr. Swiss was on was Villa as Villa runs along the side of the old Hillcrest Country Club....Right????

[gen70]

There was a Griffs and a Riffs. One was at 44th and Penn and one at 29th and about Western don't remember which was which. I think Griffs was at 59th and Penn..

[gen70]

Yeah General64 I graduated 70. 10-roger on local of Swiss.

[gen70]

What was local of Country Club Inn, Eddie's and Kiesperts? Also does anyone remember the Farmers Daughter local?

[Rickster]

Generals64, I graduated Capital Hill 71.

Gen70, I remember a Farmer's Daughter at NW23d & Meridian. Is that the one you meant? Had a Myna bird in a cage just inside the door. People (kids) taught it to curse.

[gen70]

Hey Rickster! I married a girl from Capitol Hill class of 70 didn't work out but anyway the A-1 cafe was on the southside of 39th at or near a Putt-Putt.

[gen70]

Funny Story:....I worked at the TG&Y at 74th and Penn and we had taken a trade-in (yes, a trade-in) on a talking Parrott. Well, we always had stockboys stay late and mop & wax etc. It seems a lady put the parrot on lay-A-way and during the time before she paid the bird off the stock boys taught theis parrot EVERY Slang and Curse word in the books. We finally had to give the lady her money back and gave the bird to Bob Jenny to get rid of it......There were quite a few looks when customers would pass and the bird would let out the expletives.

[Rickster]

gen70, I dated a Grant girl in 69 or 70, that didn't work out too well also (thank god).

I'm gonna try to make the next meeting. Would like to meet everyone.

[Rickster]

That's a great story Generals64.

Country Club Drive-In was just east of 59th and Penn.

Eddies still is a steak House on the North side of town...I thin about 42nd and meridian.

Kiespert's was an old Grocery store across from Coit's.. Building is still there but it's a hispanic Community Center now.

I don't remember the Country Club Drive-In. Eddy's went out of business earlier
this year. Too sad.

The Farmer's Daughter was a Drive-In just east of Meridian on NW 23rd.

[Rickster]

Yes, on the north side of the road. And I believe there was an A&W across the street from it on the south side of 23d.
