B: Rte 35 (3rd St) was the dividing line (through the center of the Road.) Divided the Townships: Madison and Jefferson. It was the N/S boundary. N. Side was Trotwood (RAMS) S. Side was Jefferson TWP High School (BRONCOS). Some students may have gone to Nettie Lee Roth High School,(I don't know mascot) K: Help! and Roosevelt(TEDDIES) was awfully close as well..., I need specifics. Let's say it was a "quilt" of schools and people in un-incorporated areas of Montgomery County. Keugene can you help me out? ~C-Aviator

HEY CURT
I have a suggestion. Judging from some of the recent discussions, there are many others beside ME that have NO IDEA what High Schools served various areas. I have thought about looking for someone on Classmates, but had NO idea what achool they would have gone to even though I know where they lived. Is there already something out there somewhere or can you create (you are so talented) a map that shows the boundries of the various High Schools say around 1970?
Keep up the good work.

Kids from Drexel went to Roth. Back then there was no 35 connector and you went straight up 3rd street (which became Route 35) to get to Drexel, West Alexandria, New Lebanon and then to Eaton. Kids in Townview went to Trotwood Madison.
Cindy, Roth was the Falcons. I was in a program that allowed 8th graders to attend Roth in kind of hybrid 8th and 9th grades together. My first year we sold Booster Bars to raise enough money to buy uniforms in order to have a band for football games. My boyfriend played trombone so I bought lots of candy. I sat with his mom and watched our band make its debut at Welcome stadium. There were only about 8 or 10 people in the band. This was about 1963.

Jeff - yes I did and I think I just saw Dave Beerman at our 35th reunion a few months ago. If I look in my Junior year yearbook, I imagine I will see you. You graduated with one of my best friends back then Debbie U. You'll probably find her in your Senior yearbook if you have one. It is truly a small world on the Internet. I remember the name Icelandia. Where was it? I dated a guy that played with DAHA but they skated out of Hara Arena I think.

The theater you're thinking of in "downtown" Oakwood was the Cinema South. I saw Billy Jack for the first time there. I don't know when it closed though.

Jeff, I do remember Tim. Looked up his picture. Maybe he was in one of my study halls. I think someone told me he was still in music and rather well known. I was not in marching band or Lionettes - although I wanted to be a Lionette badly at the time. Many of my friends from the class now were.
Memories? Muddled? I can't imagine! ;+) Why do you think we all hang out here trying to figure things out? Now the whole Icelandia thing is going to bug me until someone logs on with the answer. They will.
And Mark1967 - that movie was one of my first dates with the man I have been married to for 31 years. It upset me greatly and I cried and cried. Can't imagine what he thought at the time.

I always thought it was Wagoner Ford Rd but not because of the signs. For some reason, something in the back of my mind says this road was named for someone or something. Thus the odd spelling. Not an expert by any means so take it with a grain of salt. Let us know what you find out. Now I am curious.
Thanks Dan-O for the link. I will check it out.

I can't remember the name of the road but Icelandia was right behind the Salem drive in. We used to sneek in through the parking lot behind Islandia and drive through the drive in like it was Frishes looking to see who was there. We would do this several times a night.

Couldn't get the link to work Dan. I know I should know where Kleppinger is, but I think I am going to have to get my map out. Same with Salem Drive-In, I probably was there but can't remember. I was only in the Hara Arena ice rink once to watch previously mentioned boyfriend skate for DAHA. Never ice skated until after nursing school graduation. I need to come home and wander around some more.

Keugene48 - I worked at the Dixie Drive-In from the fall of 1965 to the spring of 1966. AM radio played Brown-Eyed Girl, Like a Rolling Stone, and lots of stuff by the Mamas and Papas and Sonny and Cher. I worked in the food area and couldn't watch the movies until the last showing. I worked at the North Star from the fall of 1966 to the spring of 1967 and ran the kitchen there. Monkees music. There was always a can of Smithfield's BBQ bubbling away on the grill and if you brought your own bread in you could make a sandwich as they took inventory by counting the buns. All the pop and popcorn you wanted for free. French fries were free if they didn't see you get them. You could see the movie while you worked at the North Star. I specifically remember the Matt Helm movies there. The owner's son had a terrible car wreck that year where they were extending Needmore Road near Shoup Mill.

They played WAHOO at the North Star. Don't remember what, if anything, they played at the Dixie. At the North Star the owner was Ed (or John?) Parker and he ran the Wahoo game sitting at a card table in the lobby where we could all see the action. You were supposed to flash your headlights at the screen if you won, but there was always some smart guy who would flash them without winning. Extreme Hilarity must have ensued in their car as it happened every week. John Mason ran the concession stand and a woman named Irene worked there for many years. A guy named Ed was the maintenance man who replaced the broken speakers. Wonder if any of them are still alive? Frequently someone would pull out and rip off a speaker and sometimes their window and they would want the drive-in to pay for their window. The drive-in wanted them to pay for their speaker. The North Star was a family owned deal, but the Dixie had a company called SportsService which handled the concession stand. Thanks, I'll check out the booklets.

Kleppinger is one block north of Hillcrest and runs off Salem by the golf course. I think it's called the Miami Valley Country Club.
The Salem drive in was a little south of the Ponderosa. In fact, the Kroger store on Siebenthaler was built on the back part of the drive in lot. The rest of the lot is still empty but nothing remains of the drive in as all buildings and the screen have long since been demolished. I read somewhere that the ticket booth was still standing but you can't see it from the road and the old entrance to the theater is blocked off.

OK, I talked to the 'other half' and got some details about the dance thing.
She took from Jean Hyatt and she said the studio was a lot closer to downtown Dayton than out near the Lowes Ames theater. When Jean Hyatt died, a lady named ??? Jean (no relation) bought the studio. At some point after Jean Hyatt died, her daughter, Terri came to live with Vic. Just what I was told as I "know nuszing" about it as Sgt Schultz would say.

Hey all. I have just added a new section (the Odds & End page) to the Dayton Nostalgia section of www.mhs77.com website (www.mhs77.com/nostalgia I also put a link to a site that has videos / documentaries that you can watch on line, one of which many of you may have been talking about here about Rikes. There are many documentaries dealing with Dayton's past you can watch online including one about Dayton's Newspapers and one called "Memories of Dayton" to name a few. Check it out!!!

Yes, I remember Top Value stamps. I think one of thier redemption showrooms was in the Forest Park plaza. My best friend's house was almost entirely decorated with stuff from there. I used to think it was pretty cool. Gas station attendants used to give those out and they could be very generous if they thought you were cute. I think that is how I got my set of Olive Green luggage my Senior year - by being blonde and skinny. I think I threw away that last piece of luggage, the train case, a few years ago. I threw away the skinny part 28 years ago with my first baby. Ha!

How about S & H Green Stamps? They came in handy when my Uncle drove an 18 wheeler and he would give me all of his stamps from his gas fill ups. I furnished my first child's nursery with those things! Those show rooms were so stark.. didn't the catalogues make the stuff look so much better?
Becky, My graduation gifts: Red Samsonite 3 PC luggage set with clamp locks. I loved the make up case.
I donated same to the Smithsonian a few years ago.. mirror stil in tact. More topics, please, ALL! ~C

Who remembers sales tax stamps? They would have contests at school to see who could bring in the largest amount. Somebody's parents always bought a new car and their kids brought the sales stamps to school and won.

Uggghhh.... state stores. They always seemed to have the seediest people working there. I imagine they were magnets for robbery too. I think allowing other places to sell liquor is a better idea - safety wise. I think I was a prohibitionist in a former life. ( Not that I really believe in reincarnation.)There was a state store on Main St. when I was growing up. That is one business I am not sorry to see gone.
Got a kick out of the guy who traded his stamps in for a fur coat that his wife never saw. Whoops!

bigbob: Do you remember Mike's Chili King on Main by MVH? My Dad said that Mike would make chili and keep it on the stove until the next "Tuesday", (or whenever he sold the first batch out). Don't Daytonian's love chili as much as Cincinnatian's? Those little chili parlors made the best chili. Don't tell Dave, as he thinks that mine is the best! Becky, you are right in Chili Country! Known throughout the land!
Max: I have started a spread sheet as to where Dave and I have lived over the years. We have been here in this house for about 21 years, but many inbetween, and with the Army, Dave has been many places...even Korea! No,not the M*A*S*H Korea, but the base at some 38th parallelagram! hehe, only kidding about the parallelagram, but I will get back with facts and places we have both lived. Dave is NOT that old. Max (Korean War). I know that you and I met sometime in Lake Worth or WPB....hmmn Do you surf? Oh,no, you drive fast cars! Still, maybe.
Tlturbo, think about it...EF "McDonald" scotch plaid stamps!??? just wondering if you knew a possible Scotland connection regarding this and the the company. Keugene, do you know of any? This could be pertinent information to Dayton's link to Scotland. ~C

This site brings back soooo many memories! The Twist Club early 1960's (don't recall the street--but should!); I believe it was Kresge's making carmel popcorn; "human" elevator operators in Rike's. I also worked at E.F. MacDonald. I believe an aunt's family owned Kettering Village Inn. At least I know she worked there. Keugene: I graduated from Dixie HS in New Lebanon. Remember The Toot drive-in? A sister still lives in N.L. And then, of course, it was the Hasty Tasty in Drexel. Just like the one on Keowee--cruising for hours!

Anybody here ever shop at the old Ontario Store at the corner of Needmore and North Dixie? It was kind of like a Goldman's or a Rink's in those pre-WalMart days. There was a PURE gas station (or Phillips 66?) at the NW corner in front of the store. Before Needmore was extended to Frederick and Shoop Mill, there was an old farm house there and several other businesses started up in that area. The farm house must have been torn down when the North Star Drive-In was built on the SW side around 1957. My uncle Ed owned the car wash on the SE corner of that intersection for some years. It's now a pharmacy, I think. There was a Sandy's in front of the North Star and maybe a Cassano's near the SW corner also. I live in KY now and seldom get up that way so I'm continually surprised as to how that area seems to be going downhill. I used to get the world's best chili at Maggie's at the corner of N. Dixie and Bartley, but it doesn't taste the same to me now.

tlturbo: I was at EFM late 1963-early 1965. I worked in "Campaign Services". Then Kettering PD (ofc. clerk)1966-1968; Hawaii 1969-76; San Diego Co. since 7/76.
Re: Cassano's; There was always something different about their pizzas that I still love. Have to have one when I visit family in New Lebanon.
Also, can't remember the name, but Dayton had a chicken/rib delivery co. with the best bbq ribs.
Funny--all of our memories seem to include food!! Pizza, ribs, coney island hot dogs, chili, etc.

Bill68 - My grandmother worked at Maggies for a long time after my grandfather died somewhere back in the 1960 and 1970's. My grandmother lived across the street from Maggie's with Orville Loos (who was the original owner) of Maggies. They sure did have good food. I want to go back and try it one more time for old times sake but I don't who owns it now or what kind of place it might be. I remember one part was a restaurant, one part a bar, and a barber shop on the other side. The rooms upstairs were rentals. I still have some souveniors from Maggies that were given out-thermometers and glasses, etc. Any one remember Maggies?

Alabama, small world. I remember Orville Loos. He used to walk across the street and check in at Maggie's upon occasion. His name is still above the door. There was an old woman named Theresa, I think, who knew how to make the chili and she passed the recipe down to the new owner, Tommy somebody, but he sold out several years ago and the chili doesn't taste the same to me now. I used to get a deep fried beef tenderloin with mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy there and their hamburgers were great also. There was a small restaurant just north of the Little York and N. Dixie intersection where some mostly blind guy cooked steak sandwiches. Possibly the name was Mary Kay's. I went to school with the daughter of the Quinns who owned the Blue Note.

Bill68: The name of the place at Dixie and Little York was BEA KAY's...it was named after the owner's daughter who went to Vandalia Butler. If you email me I will tell you the last name. Do you guys remember when Little York Road had the ONLY stop light on Interstate 75??? I used to push the WALK button on the light pole and walk my bike across 4 lanes of highway. My Mom warned me to RUN my bike across.. but no... it wasn't safe!! Also, remember the STAGECOACH??? Cabbage rolls there, too guys, at Dixie and Little York. Bill, remember the little Dairy Bar on the W. Side of Dixie N of Little York? I have lot's of Northridge memories, too guys...Vandalia wasn't too far North, you know. Now Stop Eight Road is IN Vandalia. alabama: I still have records from the Blue Note, too. I would get my resin for my cello's bow there if they ran out at Rettig's in Vandalia. Oh, Bea Kay's was not only a little counter type restaurant, but a little general store. Many of us bought snacks and stuff there and cokes when we were kids. To be young again!!!! I can't hold up a bike, let alone ride one. ~C ***Note: Did everyone from here move to Florida or what? Are Becky and Keugene,Bill77, driver62 and Curt the only one's left???????***** just wondering....... Oh, Dave is still here, sorry folks, sorry Dave, too ~c

"Stacks and stacks of old 45s ...." I used to buy cutout 45s at McCrory's for 10 cents apiece! I still have them, too ... have hooked up my computer to my stereo with turntable and am putting them in electronic format. I used to buy "oldies" at Nobel's Records in the Arcade, too (i.e.,buying mid-late 60s records in the early 70s). Good memories!

The only sports that were ever on in my house were the Reds on radio. But when I went to my best friends house on the weekends, her brothers had the wrestling and stock cars races. That is where I heard of Beulah and AJ Foyt and Mario Andretti. I am sure her memories are full of those things. To me, they were yucky boy things. ;*)
Does anyone remember the mini-jukeboxes at each booth inside the Parkmoor on Main street? It was a big treat for me to actually go into the place much less put money to hear a song from one of the jukeboxes. My Mother let me hear the song "Big Girls Don't Cry" on it one time. In retrospect I think it was a message. Hmmm....

There were mini-jukeboxes in Maggie's also. There used to be dark wood booths with initials scrawled on them along with something very rude about someone named John Vann. No telling how old that was. I went through 4 days without power here in KY and managed to keep the house from freezing with firewood and 3 generators. At my age, it will take some time to recover. My memories of Dayton might have kept me warm, but I remember being cold up there also.

You guys have pretty short memories...
Doesn't anyone remember the Blizzard of 1978? I still have my "I survived the Bizzard of '78" certificate signed by the late Gil Whitney of WHIO TV 7.
I also remember flying home for Christmas in I believe 2007, and getting into Vandalia just before that blizzard that dumped nearly two feet of the white stuff on Dayton. I sure don't miss the Dayton winters here in the republic of Texas. By the way, we're disgusted with the way things are going and the way y'all treated our guy George, so we're seceding. (Check your history books and the Washington D.C. website-Texas is one of very few states that actually CAN legally secede from the US). We'll really miss you guys in Dayton, but you're always welcome to visit God's country here in Texas. By the way-we're hiring. Plenty of jobs for everybody. Seriously. Good pay, too. ; )

THE BLIZZARD of '78 - My Dad had to put the 1" thick closet sliding doors across the picture window to keep the wind and snow out! The PD had to borrow vehicles from International Harvester in order to reach emergency situations. All those with snow plows or some kind of 4 WD vehicle volunteered their time to the community. There are so many more memories, and so much about this place to look back on. People helped one another, (as we still do, as shown in the wind storm in September, 2008). Some of our best memories are of those when we were young...the drifts seemed so gigantic! The wind, so fierce, and My Dad, shoulders deep in those drifts every year!
JOHNC ATTN: This is your hometown, "Texas"! Don't "secede" on our account. I 'hope' I speak for all Daytonians and surrounding areas when I say, y'all can come "VISIT" anytime. Our homes are yours! That's the Ohio hospitality. ~C (not D) Write to me, I don't want Ohio to secede..I love the USA! (Who wants to be a cowboy in a hot desert anyway??? Here, we have nice dirt and mud,some snow, sprinkled in with some beautiful foilage in the Fall!

My dad worked for RTA (then City Transit) during the blizzard of 78. He was a maintenance man, he would go out in all kinds of weather to change the "shoes" or carbon inserts on the trolley bus poles. When they got worn they would send out blue sparks. He worked the early morning shift and the day of the blizzard he made it to work without much trouble. As the day wore on and the blizzard got worse, he and a few of the bus drivers that made it in were stuck there. He didn't get home until late the second day. Those two days were one of the few times the buses did not run in Dayton.

I was living in Fairfield, OH during the blizzards of '77 and '78. There were several thaws and freezes right before the snow. We had a foot of ice with snow on top at the enterance of our subdivision. We had fire trucks picking up all the cops and firemen that lived there. I wasn't on the schedule one year, but in '78 I was forced to go into work at the hospital downtown. I almost died numerous times trying to get there. Hasn't been that bad since but we have come close a couple of times.

Hail and wind...I am not the weather reporter, but since we were talking about stuff regarding weather in "our olden days" Just a note. Hope all is well here and Cincy way and all over! ~C PS They had juke boxes at all the Frisch's too, guys!! Lot's of bowling alleys and just think of the "family owned or Mom and Pop" places we went to with our parents. There was a big juke box, and the little ones by the booth with the biggest hits on it..shortened list. Of course, DAVE has one in his "nest". I think there's a Buddy Holly song on the pages, too. Here I go again (whew) I will leave it up to all of you. ~C

OK SeeDavid, you brought up one of my favorite memories - hospitals. Not everyone's favorite? Well, I have a different perspective. I was a candystriper at Good Samaritan from probably '60 or '70 to my HS graduation in '73. I wore the pink and white striped pinafore apron uniform over a white blouse. ( I know, every porn moviemakers dream.) I worked in the outpatient dept, delivered flowers, in the ER and on individual units. I loved it! The nurses, aides and other employees were a more stable family then my own and supported me just by being normal. Good Sam was the home to a convent along with nuns in habits - something a little foreign to me. The building was a rabbit warren or a maze and I knew every inch of it including the basement storage area, mailroom and boiler room. The "white elephant" is pretty foreign to me now although my Father was a patient there. I could wax poetic about it just as the guys can about their cars, drive-ins and dance clubs. Dated a few boys I met there. Nothing odd at all about me finally deciding to become a nurse. I remember the non-handicap friendly stone front steps, the convent, chapel, volunteer office and how it smelled like flowers even when none were there, the ER bay doors which brought in all sorts of mayhem, and the comfort of the gift shop with its manual cash register. Learned how to make change in my head there. Most people see hospitals as places of sadness and fear and I see the community of people who all made it work. I am lucky to have found a place to work now that is much like that.

Good Samaritan: I was born there, Dave was not.
Miami Valley: Baby sister and brother born there, Dad died there and was born there.
Grandview: Mom died there..ER
Kettering: First grandchild was born there
Children's Medical: Used to be "BARNEYS" children's hospital. You can go into Dayton HBOL and find the Barney name I am sure. Philanthropist of the Dayton area. My brother almost lived there when he was little.
Those were good hospitals, still are,but more are budding up around the community and beyond into Miami County, etc.
I, too remember the smells of flowers in both Good Sam and the Valley. The volunteers (or candy stripers) would bring a cart of things around that you could buy from the gift shop. (magazines, mints, gum, personal products, combs, etc).
Becky: Didn't the TWIGS group operate most of the gift shops in the hospital?
Boys...yooo hooo????

My wife, Lynda, was an ER Doc at St. E's from 1996 to 2001 or so.
We were living in northern Kentucky and she drove back and forth. Tough on her Jeep Sahara, but she liked the job there pretty well.

SeeDavid...Yes I am getting older, but I am still in the 50ish bracket. And I do remember Colleen Sharp. Oh yes, Paul Baby( Paul Dixon) His audience was always the best. Remember Paul doing the kneesville thing where he looked at the ladies knees in the audience ?
Not only Bob Braun singing " Red Roses for a Blue Lady" Ruth sing "Let's Light the Christmas Tree"
