Be careful guys!! He knows Southside Girl!! Say the wrong thing and he will sic her on you.........
Of course, then again.........that might be such a bad deal!!!!!!!!!!!
''you talkin to me'', '' no, you talkin to me''. I thought you knew my user. I tryed earlier
to post this question but some how lost it, so I 'll try again. Does anyone remember the
bar/grill set on the corner of 29th & Robinson?. It was a little place that had a bowling
game that you used a puck with and I think a shuffle board game. There was a little old lady that cooked the best grilled burgers, and they were 15 cents or I think 7 for a
dollar.This was fall 67 or 68. The lady would be cussing while she cooked, part of the problem might have been that people were ordering 7or 15 at a time. Go figure. ''kid''
Capito Hill Drive-in. More like a beer joint than cafe.....
That's where I got into the habit of using hot sauce on a burger...........
At one time I think it was called "Sams"..They had a sign 5 for $1.00...........
We had to play the bowling game............................
There was a shooting (shot gun style) back in the mid 60's there! A friend of mine was the shooter, not braggin' about it for sure. My brother evenutally bought the place and turned it into a car lot and then sold it to "Auto Zone." There was a beer joint on the N.E. corner of 29th and Robinson with pool tables and a grill etc. Could that be the place
"Kid 73" was referring too?????
No. This was on the southeast corner where "Auto Zone" is now. Rock building, seems there were booths and a counter inside. As you entered the door, from the west the bowling game was right there. I say it was a "beer joint" in reality because they served beer and it seems that's what the older guys were there for. It was torn down and a car lot was put in.
On the northeast corner was a brick building running from the corner to the alley. It was divided up into different business's one of which was a electronic store that serviced t.v., radio's........sold some as well.
But the burger place was on the southeast corner. At least for a time when I went to Lee and CHJH '65 to '70.
I met one of the grils I went to CHJH and CHHS and we were discussing things when I asked her if she ever went there and she said her parents would not allow her because they served beer.
Explain: There was a shooting (shot gun style) back in the mid 60's there! A friend of mine was the shooter, not braggin' about it for sure.
Who was the shootee in that fracas?
Hey,everyone out there in memory land. I got back PaPa on this. It was
on the SE corner accually a little off the corner. I believe it was two or
more car lots. And your right the bowling game was like right in first of the
door. It was definitely old school beer joint , just like The Copper Topp lounge on Robinson. But that another subject. You still said anything about
the old lady cookin the burgers and cussing her head off.
One of the things I really miss pertains to CHHS, Grant, and S.E.; Football Fridays. When the night air is crisp.........You can hear the crowd and the bands for miles. The pa announcer heard and understood. I live in the same hood I grew up in and remember the sounds well. You could not find a parking place on the school grounds, side streets and the median running down the center of Grand. A football game was an "event". Too bad all three of our schools have fallen down......
Do you think it was busing that killed it?
I don't know if you CHHS grads from 1967 to 1971 know about this link. It's really well done.

I lost my year books a long time ago, so it brought back memories. I had the biggest crush on one of the cheerleaders.
I don't know what happen to the link, but I'll try again.

Maybe this will work?
I saw your post and clicked on the (favorties) link all the time thinking it was a USG link, guess I wasn't paying attention. When it came up I clicked on 70 seniors, when that came up I couldn't see anything so I randomly clicked a page. Next thing I know I'am stareing at a picture of my first wife whom I haven't seen or heard of in 35 years. It... blew... my... mind. Pure happenstance. The odds of that happening........Weird.
I don't know what I didn't with that Favorites post. But the second one should work.
That is funny. I wish I knew who she is. I probably remember her.
I knew a lot of the the kids from Grant that was in the 70's grad class. I went to Roosevelt Jr High, played football, baseball with many kids from Jefferson. Played 9th grade football at Grant. Then the boundries changed and I went to CHHS. My brother graduated from Grant in 1964. Bunch of the kids from Roosevelt went to grant. One of the guys I hung out with, married my late wifes best friend. They were from NW Classen.
I wonder if it's okay if we post names in PM's?
