For some reason I remember that wheel. However, on a rather sad note for me, while in town for the Dolphins game, saw that the Locker Room is no longer. Looked like some fofo type establisment has taken its place. And for this Niagara Falls boy the Tuesdays in the summer at the Library for 2/$1.00 ice teas, then around closing time there, head up to the locker room for I think 2?$1.50 blues till 4.am. Thank god I always had WED. off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where was it located? 487761[/snapback] Ryans backstreet was a bar somewhere near Buff State, but on the north side of the sqajaquada, in the black rock section. Between Elmwood and Miltary. I was always amazed at how small and cramped it was. Many Canisius HS people and a good mix on Buff State people, Friday nights were notorious for fights breaking out.

Spiderweb Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Another ex-Kenmore resident checking in here. Longfellow and Washington Elementary schools, followed by Kenmore Junior and the Kenmore West Senior High School. First ten years of my life I lived on Nassau just opposite of the Myron intersection. I even remember my best friends back then, Mark Randazzo, Mark Baumler, and Danny Deese (who as a young man died young from a fall from a ladder if IIRC) and who was about as nice of a guy as I've ever known. Then I moved a few times into and within Tonawanda, then back to Wabash in Kenmore for my late teen years. Kenmore day at Crystal Beach as a kid, Sherkston Quarry in my teen years, and later on the Elmwood strip, Pierce Arrow (Williamsville in the early 80's), Rich (RWS) Stadium, and Pilot Field, all fond memories. To see one's old hometown die the slow painfull death that Buffalo has is very, very sad. We all agree that the total neglect from the State, it's high taxes, and a collection of the most inept politicians known to mankind has forever buried our beloved hometown. So very sad.......

As to Kenmore dying a slow death, My parents just sold after 47 years there. Still amazing that when I was back in June, I saw kids 5-7 years old, buying waterballoons and squirt guns like I used to do at Keiners and Joe's Meat market. All the kids pooling their money to buy two dollars worth of balloons and scheming to soak the crap out of some sinister older sister.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Keiners 487847[/snapback] I remember that - the old ladies watched one like a hawk. On Rowley IIRC. I patronized Warren's on Delaware, Betzer's, Kohler-Redden Drug Store, and then the Colvin Food Shop - Colvin corner St. Lawrence in Bflo. And you Kenmore folks used to rub the noses of us N. Bflo. folk because you had swimming pools and we didn't. Wife went to St. Pauls and then the Mount. Do you remember the "Loop" deli on Kenmore? - where the old trolley line had a roundabout? And Jul's Bakery on Kenmore Ave.? And Tessie's Delicatessen, corner of Villa and Deleware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulled out of the driveway, pulled up in front, deposited the sisters, pulled back into the driveway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
