Kevbeau Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I grew up off of Potter Rd. also ... In the area by the big tower on Dorance.I remember walking over to the Seneca Mall to hang out at the places mentioned here ... Cavages, Spencers, Ground Round ....

stuckincincy Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 What about Henry's Hamburgers, That place was my all time favorite, once McDonalds and Burger king set up shop theyy were history. I also used to work at Your Host, spent most of my money there too during the winter months after freezing to death in the cold, we'd go in and get a burger and hot chocolate, they are all gone now too..... 286322[/snapback] I had an earlier post about Henry's. Fries were great back then - they used a lot of beef fat. I miss Your Host. In my neighborhood, ther were five - one on Delaware next to Loblaws/Food Arena (used to work there) opposite the YMCA, the one on Delaware closer to Deleware Park, and the little and bigger ones on Delaware in Kenmore a bit north of Kenmore Ave., and the one also on Delaware close to Sheridan and in the same plaza as the Royal Host - which was a pretty good supper club.

macdaddy Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hens & Kelly is a distant memory. And what was the drive-in on the corner of Wherle and Transit. Pretty good soft porn on Friday nights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rastabillz Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Now you've got me wracking my brain...was the drive-in at Walden & Dick called "The Twin Drive-In"? I know there were two screens...didn't they refer to them as the East & West screens or have I completely lost my mind? 286306[/snapback] You are correct. They were the East and West Twin drive-ins. Great place for a cheap date and little action in my high school days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rastabillz Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Uncle Sam's - that takes me back. Saw a group there back in 68 or 69 - they called themselves the Chicago Transit Authority. Heard they shortened their name shortly after that. Hmm.... 286310[/snapback] I saw U2 there during the first NA tour. Their single at the time ws "I will follow".

stuckincincy Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I remember Hens and Kelly's. and hengerer's - they had THE best downtown Christmas displays in their windows, and THE definitive Santa. Anybody remember Robert Hall's, W.T. Grant's and Kresge's? And the Downtown Merchant's Association Delivery service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubes Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Twin Fair could never compare to Two Guys on Sheridan. As a kid I loved the bowling allys in the back. 286189[/snapback] Oh dude, my mom used to take me there all the time. Loved those bowling alleys!

LabattBlue Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Ever see Talas at Stage 1? 286343[/snapback] Was at Stage 1 a few times, but never saw Talas there. I'm amazed at how I made it home during my younger days without ever getting pulled over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was near the fireplace at the Seneca mall. They had little fried onion nuggets. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like the party in Dazed and Confused. Then we'd go to Your Host in East Aurora around 3 am. Everyting on the menu was like $2. Great late night hang out place. I always felt sorry for the poor waitress that would work like a mule and made like .25 cents tip off our drunk asses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogboy Swine Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Yes. The one in my neighborhood was on Elmwood. My brother-in-law used to call it "The Melting Pot". I also recall Maxims, their competitor on Hertel Avenue. There was a Henry's Hamburger there, too. 15 cents for a burger, 19 cents for a cheeseburger. Ernie Warlick owned the Henry's on Main Street. 286129[/snapback] My old neighborhood...Ernie Warlick's was next to St Mary's school for the deaf on Main Street. A friend of mine's sister was a penguin who taught there. She said one of the deaf kids found a hair in her burger one time. From that point on, the deaf sign for Ernie Warlick's was to take your hand and make a motion like you were making hamberger patties in your arm pit. Ernie also opened a place in Central Park Plaza he used to work the counter in both places. he had HUGE hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
