biedermann's I *think* was in Brentwood center
Central dodge: Where dillons is on st louis & national

Woolworths was also on Commercial where Savoy is now.Willard wrote:Most I don't remember, but several I know about.RV driver wrote:Katz, Jupiter, Woolworth's, Venture. Anyone remember those? Or Giant Foods, with the big statue of the bag boy out front? Hungry Henry's? Rubenstein's? Stone's Barbeque? Wet Willy's? The Hi-M Drive In? A&W at the mall?
Katz: Was orignally where CVS/pharmacy is on Glenstone
Jupiter: Originally Kresgees on the square where the library is now, Kresgees renamed all their five and dimes to Jupiters after they opened K-mart in 1960.
Woolworth's: was on the square. Latest occupant was Mr. Furniture. You can still see the tile where the lunch counter was on the south wall. Woolworths closed nationwide in 1993 the also owned Champs and Footlocker and renamed their stock ticker Footlocker. Not sure what's happening with them now. Woolworths was one of the original Dow Jones stocks and the year they were removed, Wal-Mart took their place.
Venture: I remember it, it's where K-Mart is now across from the mall. Mom never took us there to shop though.
Giant Foods: Not sure about that one.
Hungary Henrys: Again, no dice.
Rubinstines: Was a nice clothing store at the southwest corner of Cambell and College. It's where Remingtons Downtown is located now. The building was built on the basement of the old Ullman Hotel.
the other Trotters was at Glenstone & Chestnut where El Maguey is today.Nicotti wrote:hmmm, Touch has really good food though. Except for that peanut butter & jelly muffin they like to sell you on though, that's merely "ok".RV driver wrote:Riverside Inn, Robert Hall, Shady Inn, Ed Vs, Ebenezer's, Bombay Bicycle Club, Gee's, Cat & Fiddle ... and it's all being replaced by: Touch, Hollister, Gallery Bistro, Joseph Banks, Lone Star, Electric Cowboy, Hong Kong Inn, and the Outland.
Jesus!
A good place to go eat that they tore to build a cell phone store was Trotters, they had the best buffet ever. At least the one I ate at turned into a phone store, there was another one that is now some other kind of eatery.
That must have been after Ed V's (originally Ed. V. Williams) moved out to the Glen Isle Shopping Center.terry k wrote:Woolworths was also on Commercial where Savoy is now.Willard wrote:Most I don't remember, but several I know about.RV driver wrote:Katz, Jupiter, Woolworth's, Venture.

Actually it was called Porkeys which is a BBQ chain out of Memphis. Good BBQ, bad location at that time. Ate at the one here and also ate at one in Memphis. (wonder if they got the name from the movie?)Twail Wetard wrote:It was also corkeys too

An old hilton at 44/65? Where?RV driver wrote:Hungry Henry's was an upscale restaurant in the (then) Hilton Hotel (now abandoned, I think) on the north side of the I-44/65 interchange.
Stone's Barbeque was on Division, about Sherman or so -- there's a little strip center that used to have a laundromat and a Git-n-Go on the north side. A second location was where 5 Spice is located (Was a What-a-Burger years ago).
(Speaking of fast food, there was also a Burger Chef in the little center where the IGA is on Campbell and Sunshine.)
What about the Sunshine Raquet Club? Barth's? (My wife was a good friend of the owner's daughter.) Levy Wolf? Ms. Persnickety? Cloth World? Western Auto? Biedermann's Furniture? Stereo Buff? House of Sound? The Baptist Hospital? Aaron's Transmission? Cheong's? Central Dodge (before it moved to west Sunshine)? The old Channel 27? KICK Radio? United Health Center? Beggar's Banquet? Liberty Sound? Petite 3 Cinema? Dairy Sweet? Bear Book and Record? Toyota (before it moved out to east Sunshine)? Shotgun Sam's? Rice's? Wilson's Catalog Outlet? Colonel Day's Levi's Emporium?
