See how many you know and add some of your own. Let's hear from you, be it answers or questions!

OMG, this really gave me a headache.

The ice cream place was up near the old Winn Dixie, you got a hard shell of chocolate on a swirled mountain of vanilla ice cream in a cone.  You could watch the person dip your cone into the chocolate and it would harden almost immediately.  YUMMY!  Was is Tastee Freeze? 

Yes I remember all the first run theatres downtown, went to all of them at one time or another, except for the SUN on lower 16th, that was the first XX, adult movie house, I believe. As for the drive ins, I know one was the Mustang.  Went there several times also.  The sundries shop across from the school I remember as my dad knew the owners but I can not right now recall the name ??  We lived right across from the school on 55th down two houses.

The all night restaurant downtown was THE OWL.  ??

I can see that all night market but I can not give it a name.

Wasn't there a hamburger stand just to the south of Northeast, I believe it was Burger Queen?  Never got our orders right, that I do remember.

Okay, I have exhausted my memory for the moment. 

questio #9

the baseball field was called Miller Huggins field .

I saw Mickey Mantle put one in the lake from the furthest diamond.

Mike

OKAY!!  I could see it but couldn't put a name on it.  Sight is still good but memory not so good.     LOL LOL  :-)

#2 Hillside Sundries

Drive-ins:  28th Street, Skyview, Mustang, Garden

??

In the 50's there was the 4th Street Drive-in. It was around 70th Ave N on the east side of 4th Street.

question #5  - The Owl

The question about the Sundies place across from the school bothers me as we lived directly across from the school on 55th and went in there all the time.  My dad knew the owners.  I hadn't realized till just now that it had been so long since I logged in and checked us out.  Been busy moving and school I guess.
