Little bit of trivia.

Two by name, Sims McCutchin and Diane Gwamanda. Sims the Regional Manager and Diane, the branch manager, wonderful people that i will never forget. These were my earliest days with Skaranles. Milby didnt have the Prison gate in 97, but i suppose all the schools are doing it now. The harrisburg cemetary used to be covered in woods, me and my pal omar would run through the graveyard in our early teens. Its an amazing drive when you take broadway past emilianos and you enter the harrisburg area watching all those piles of metal. <BR/><BR/><BR/>i love it<BR/><BR/>nickNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419212423323896493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777282.post-87819253641759580362008-06-28T14:17:00.000-06:002008-06-28T14:17:00.000-06:00Several comments: First, I have lived in the area ...Several comments: First, I have lived in the area for 49 of my 51 years. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane.<BR/><BR/>Second, sad to say, but the Chuck Wagon and Tastee Freeze buildings along with the long, burned-out building behind the two lots are gone as of the last several weeks. My guess is that the lots are flattened out to accommodate one of those Houston-famous mini-malls.<BR/><BR/>Thirdly, the cross street to the clinic could be Dixie Drive.<BR/><BR/>And finally, According to my Key Map, Almeda-Genoa Road runs east-west and Broadway runs north-south. You may forget that the Gulf Freeway runs northwest-southeast.<BR/><BR/>Peace.MichaelVJozwiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698095544586416472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777282.post-89765526322096400972008-06-28T14:05:00.000-06:002008-06-28T14:05:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.MichaelVJozwiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698095544586416472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777282.post-29296361830823446132008-05-19T12:19:00.000-06:002008-05-19T12:19:00.000-06:00I lived in Park Place from 1958 to about 1980, att...I lived in Park Place from 1958 to about 1980, attended Park Place Elementary School, Deady Jr. H.S., and Milby H.S, and lived only a few blocks from the ex-Chuck Wagon(sp?) that you had a photo of. I still remember the delicious Hub Burger and Wheel Burger! Their signature was the x-tra thin patty! Adjacent to the Chuck Wagon, to the north, was the Tastee Freeze. Man, I remember that soft serve ice cream like it was yesterday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777282.post-76566082286019030802008-04-16T12:29:00.000-06:002008-04-16T12:29:00.000-06:00Plug 2- no offense but when I was looking for a Ro...Plug 2- no offense but when I was looking for a Ronco Record Cleaner for my incredible Lounge Muzak soundtrack of La Dulce I have found the greatest blog ever- hands down: YOU'RE THE MAN NOW, CHICO!

I wanted to say that at the flagship on Sheppard there is this black guy with a moustashe and when they pump the instrumental muzak he can sing all the words. I was buying some Swansons, Moon Pies and Shastas for dinner and Love is Blue by Paul Murat is turned up high on the loud and my man is singing all the words. I'm telling you this guy should be an official orbit. He is my hero!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777282.post-14368744491766513902008-04-10T13:52:00.000-06:002008-04-10T13:52:00.000-06:00Just stumbled into your blog while searching for i...Just stumbled into your blog while searching for information about RC Cola and Moon Pies.

From apartments near Southpoint, to a house on Garden Villas, to my dad's and my high school(Milby), to the old Local Charm, I know all that area and it brought back a lot of memories. ANd yes, that WAS an old Chuck Wagon that I used to go to when I was at Deady Jr. High. Good Job men!Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301105193183539327noreply@blogger.com
