bob_sauve28 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Two Guys of course. And Kleinhans in the Airport Plaza. I remember eating at the RED BARN. And the Ground Round. And skating at United Skates of America. There was a Red Barn on Main Street across from the UB Campus. Next to it was a fish and chips place called Arthur Treachers. I guess it's still a chain, but I haven't thought about that place in years and years. There is a Subway there now I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpandean Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I know that it's not the point of the thread, but I wanted to point out that: Vanek with jaw surgery.Goose out with shoulder issues. + Seems like forever until Wed vs. Ottawa. = A good thing.

I don't think I've heard that word in 30 years at least. Sheesh. Used to be THE place to go before Record Theatre went in on Main. Remember that place??? I had never see so many ALBUMS in my life. Yeah, thats right... I said ALBUMS. I still call them that. My kids are like: "Mommmmmm....." complete with the eye roll. We still have an Arthur Treachers here south of me in Mansfield. Fotomat? HA HA! Times they are a changin'. So I take it Crystal Beach is no more? Oh man, when we were young and partying and wild that was the place. Along with Sherkston. Pile in the car and hope to make it across...smuggling all kinds of stuff. How very stupid we were. HA HA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Along The Watchtower Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Star Market! I think an outfit called Apples bought out Star...at least where ever there was a Star, an Apples took its place. The thing I remember about Apples is that they took every type of bottle and gave you a nickel back. When I went to Brockport, we use to take our Canadian bottles there and Apples would reimburse us the $.05 (I think we paid a dime/bottle in Canada, but it was worth getting the instant deposit! :lol: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
