We used to go to the pool (Eastview on Bayside) and then go to Sandy's. We ate there until it turned into a Hardee's. Goldman's used to be Miller's back in the 60s, as I recall.

I can't believe nobody remembered the FLYING PIZZA ! We got a slice of Pizza and would go to the Midnight Movies at the palace theatre, or was it the victory; time has changed all that was real back then.

JeffN, I wish I had old pictures of that area. The things we wish we should have taken pictures of. Lots of fond memories just no pictures.
alma- thanks for the name of that shoe store. I remember they use to give out comic books and they would allow us to go in the back room and pick them out. They had a huge mound ( at least I remember it as being huge) all piled up of those comic books. I remember buying dress shoes there since they were so expensive it was only once a year. At least they actually measured your feet correctly. How many ruined feet are out there now because you can't get anyone that knows how to do that now? Seems a lot of people just guess at their size.
Boogs-Little Mickey's bar was there in the Oregon District but was either torn down, remodeled to be another bar or relocated. It was called just that " Little Mickey's". His brother still owns/runs Gilleys downtown by the Greyhound bus station. he's small too. I think Little Mickey was into photography too.

Calhoun, I remember "Walter the Friendly Poet" bit. A co-worker and I talk about that every now and then. We always wondered if we could find them online somewhere. We didn't know if it was syndicated type show or if it was Kirkies own craziness. We figured it was just Kirkie.
I remember listening to WING all the time. Jim Quinn was a DJ in the evening and I was shocked ( at the time)) when he said he was moving to Pittsburg for another DJ job. At that time WONE was their biggest rival. They was always a battle between WING and WONE. The kicker was that WONE had taped Jim Quinn's show and sent it around to get him hired somewhere else so their ratings would climb.
I liked WING radio station that you could go by downtown and see the DJ's live in their big window. Everytime I go by that building I remember it being WING. It's a DR's office. And no it isn't a window to an exam room. I know someone will ask that...lol.
alabama- I remember the Underground. It was downtown and it was a headshop before I knew what that was. I just remember the "cool" blacklight posters all over the place and the hippies that worked there. It was so anti-establishment just to be in there. Pretty radical for a 12 year old kid ( me) going in there.
To someone that said Agnes Morehead was from Dayton. I don't believe she was from Dayton but somehow she ended up being buried in the cemetery on N. Dixie across from the monument company. Only thing I figured is one of her stepchildren or children ended up here so that's why she is stuck here.

Anyone remember the name of the "Speed Shop" that was on Linden Ave right by Walnut Grove Country Club? I remember it was Dave something and he had a gimmic of doing "Super Tuning" of cars. I remember him laying outside on the cars getting a tan whenever I drove by his place. I remember someone getting a "Super Tune" from him and it costing a fortune at that time. It us to be a gas station and he opened it up to do just tune-ups. I'm not sure how long it lasted there but for some reason that still sticks in my mind when I drive by there.

If anybody is interested in Parkmoor chicken, the people that run the pancake house on Linden Ave. own the recipe and they make the chicken there. It's a dive, but the chicken has the exact taste that I still remember. Also, does anybody remember the Dayton East drive-in on Valley St. I grew up in the plat and have a lot of fond memories. Did any of you go to Brandtwood school? Do you remember Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Price, Mrs. Wolf, Mrs. Wilson?

Yeah. The place is close to Easttown, across the railroad tracks, on the right hand side going towards Smithville Rd. I'm not sure of the name, but it sits back off the road. Like I said, the place is a dive, but the chicken is 100% Parkmoor. Bon apetit.

Follows just prior to the 60's, I worked at the Kroger
store at N.Main & W. Siebenthler Av. 1955 & 1956.
When I started store was open from 9am/6pm & till 9pm
on Thurs & Fri. Closed on SUN!
During the two yrs store went to 9am/9pm thru Sat & 10am/
4pm on Sun. Top Value stamps appeared & we all wanted to
work on Sun, because of double time wages! My salary was
seventy five (.75) cents per hour. It was great.

masbo...I do remember the Bargain Barn! That's where the old Cassano's was on Linden, too. That shopping center is just falling apart now. Spin-Kemp Shopping Center is all but gone, too, except for Rick's Pizza and the dance studio. Both those businesses have been there forever.

I also remember the other roast beef restaurant down from the Arby's on Airway. It was called "The 49'R". Their logo was a roulette wheel. It was just as busy as the Arby's was. There was just as many people n eather place. I remember standing in line for those roast beef sandwiches. Do you remember the roast beef rotating around in the Arby's restaurant in the cooking case? The 49'R restaurant later became a used car lot. then it was torn down to make room for a Wendy's restaurant there now.

I remember the 49'r! I think it was as goiod as Arby's. The whole fast-food roast beef was so new then! Sorta like the Ponderosa's that sprung up around Dayton in the late 60s and early 70s...a new concept!

I remember those Roast Beef restaurant wars. Also, the Ponderosa steak restaurant was also great. They started in Dayton as I recall. Man the lines on Tuesdays would go around the building! I can’t remember what the deal was, but it was cheap. Do you remember the Fish and Chips restaurant wars - Long John Silver's vs H. Salt Esquire vs Arthur Treacher's.

I worked at Arby's and Famous Recipe Fried Chicken in high school in the 70s. Arby's, Famous Recipe and Burger Chef were all owned in Dayton by one company. I forget the company who owned the right to franchise them in Dayton. Famous Recipe was not Lee's back then and their slogan at the time was "It's Honey Dipped." We had a powder "Honey Mix" that we added water. We dipped the chicken in the honey and water mix before we put it in the flour mixture. As for Arby's, I remember they had these big hunks of Roast Beef that I would go in to the big refrigerator units to clean the blood off the floors once a week until a new hamburger like Roast Beef replaced it. Customers said they noticed the change and never returned to Arby's. I kind of liked it. I remember when Juniors were .49 and the week customers complained when the Regular Roast Beef sandwich went from .99 to 1.09 and Super Roast Beef went from from 1.19 to 1.29. We also made the cole slaw fresh daily.

You were talking about roast beef restaurants. Do you remember the Roy Rogers on N Dixie Dr. next to the Country Kitchen. There are still ROy Rogers restaurant throughout the United States. The closest one is in Cincinnati, OHIO. ANd it is still real good.

I remember the Roy Rogers on N Dixie. I use to work on Stanley Avenue and we'd go there for lunch a lot. There was another place across the street from it called the Beef and Beer, I think.
I also remember Rax Roast Beef. One was located at the corner of Turner Rd and N Main in Harrison Township. There's a CVS or Walgreens there now.
I liked Rax better than Arbys but they didn't last. There was an Arthur Treachers close to there and a H. Salt fish and chips. H. Salt tasted the best to me.
The Poderosa restaurants were everywhere. The one that was located at N Main and Nottingham Rd is now a Rite-Aid. It seems that all the old places I liked are now pharmacies.

JeffN, yes it was London Bobbie's Fish and Chips. In fact when they bought them you could get the fish and chips in some of their restaurants ( not sure if all carried it). I remember the sign was in one of their windows of their stores. I use to go to the one on Stroop.
Remember when Channel 22 was there next to that Cassino's? They had "Big Time Wraslin" there LIVE. I had to take my grandmother there all the time. she loved that stuff. It wasn't fake to her. I'd go next door to the Cassino's until the wraslin' was over. Then I'd drive her home.
The was an H. Salt Fish and Chips down on Woodman across from A&W Rootbeer. In fact the rootbeer stand is for sale now. It is the son of the original owner from back in the 60's and 70's. I'm not sure how good of a business person he was. I worked there for about a month back in 69'. I made 75 cents an hour. If you broke a mug they made you pay for it. The mugs were 50 cents. The handles were where they ended up breaking. I went on vacation and never came back there. I couldn't afford to break any mugs at that price.

Bill77, those were called 'PhotoMat". There was one in the Eastown Shopping Center. Talk about being trapped in your job, yikes. After they closed down I remember seeing one of the booths in a sort of dumpy parking lot all fenced in. If I can remember where but I'll drive around and see if it in my many travels about. It was inside with some old cars and the such.

alabama, I sure do remember the concerts at Hara Arena. I think that was about the only place that was big enough to have them. I remember paying $3.75 to see John Fred and the Playboy Band, The Lemon Pipers, Sly and the Family Stone,The BoxTops and probably a couple more groups all at the same time there. I remember taking a couple of guys I went to school with and my one friend stiffed me out of the $3.75 and I ended up paying my dad for his ticket since my dad bought them to begin with. I also remember seeing a bunch of other groups there too. Seems to me the Rolling Stones were there too. Heck, it's been so long ago. I can't remember them all. I did see The Lovin Spoonful at UD Arena ( old one) and paid $6.00 for that ticket. It was hot as fire inside since we had nosebleed seats. That was a ton of money for me just mowing grass.

I remember when you went to the counter at Roy Rogers Roast Beef, you were always greeted with "Howdy Pardner", and instead of "thanks" when you left it was "Happy Trails". The end of town I grew up in, we had a Roast Beef restaurant called Beef Chief, with a big Indian head on the sign out front. It was basically an Arby's clone.
If anyone is interested, I was home for the holidays and they are definitely rebuilding the Marions Pizza by the Dayton Mall that burned several years ago. The Dayton Mall, sadly, is just a pitiful shadow of its former glory. There are only two stroes left that have been there since the very beginning-Sears and JC Penney. What a shame. At least it hasn't suffered the same fate as the Salem Mall. Yet.

Yes, JackZ, I think you're correct that the Country Kitchen was located on the northeast corner of Dorothy Lane and Wilmington. As I recall, the parking lot was always crowded on Friday and Saturday nights in the summer months with cars cruising through.
I graduated from Chaminade HS (before it was merged with Julienne HS) back in 1970. I grew up on Kenwood Avenue about 10 houses down the block from the old Julienne HS building on Old Orchard Avenue.

phoopsie,
I remember some of them. I don’t recall The LT Club, The Golden Lion or Huncie. I remember The Talk of the Town and The Sidedoor, but I don’t recall where either of them was located. I think The Diamond Club was located somewhere on Stanley Avenue, and I think Little Mickey’s (which was owned by Mickey Friedman) was located somewhere downtown. The Lion’s Den was located on the west side of Wilmington Avenue, just south of Patterson Road. I think The Pookie Pookie was located somewhere in Huber Heights (maybe off Brandt Pike?). Betty Greenwoods Cascades was located on the east side of Salem Avenue, just south of Grand Avenue, between a dry cleaning store and a Liberal supermarket. I think The Dugout was also located on the east side of Salem Avenue, just north of North Avenue.

The Diamond Club was located at the corner of Stanley and Troy. I worked next door at Color Techniques for many years.
After it closed, it was a restuarant whose name I can't recall. Then it was Diamond Lils and finally a AMVETS post. After AMVETS moved out, the building was torn down. There's another building there now but I don't know the name of the business.

Jack,
Where did you work on Leo? I use to work at a microfilming company on Stanley Ave. just off Leo.
Anyone remember the Beef and Beer on Keowee? It was next door to the motel and across the street from Roy Rogers. I use to eat there a lot as they had a great selection of draught beer. I think it shut down sometime in the late 80's or early 90's.
Also, does anyone remember Kuntz's cafeteria on Troy street? It was located north of Leo and south of Stanley. I think it was in the 1200-1300 block of Troy. I ate there a lot as it was less than a block from where I worked. It shut down in the late 70's or early 80's I believe. As far as I know, the land where it was is still vacant.

My husband was the drummer for the band and would like to reach some of the other members. The year was 1982. Our phone number is 813-621-4293. (HOME) Leroy Leach is his name, the other members were Jay Morgan Hoffler, Bobby Miller, Danny Coates, Harold Hudson. He would also like to reach the members if possible.

Does anyone have any photos of people and places to add to the photos currently on the "Dayton Nosatalgia" page of www.mhs77.com ? We have compiled quite a few photos and links to videos of people and places that could be found in Dayton in the 60s and 70s and update it often. Can you add anything to the "Dayton List" page of the site? Did you recognize the Clubhouse 22 song on the "Dayton Nostalgia page that plays when you enter the page?
Does anybody remember Dewey Hopper with his outdoor weather forcasts on Channel 2? Gil Whitney did the forcasts for Channel 7. The anchors I remember were Don Wayne on Channel 7 and Ed Hamlyn on Channel 2. Omar Williams was did sports on Channel 2 in the 70s. Who did sports on Channel 7?

I still get to Dayton regularly. 50 miles isn't too far to drive to get to the Canal Street Tavern. I lived in Dayton while attending the School of the Dayton Art Institute, 1969-1973. Remember that place??? Doesn't look the same, does it. Hello you fellow "Five Oaks" survivors!!!
I have read through the previous posts and I have been reminded of a lot of things. I can only say thank you.
Here is a link that will answer the Agnes Moorehead question http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=1409
Rick Derringer was born north of Dayton, in the Union City / Fort Recovery area. He had a band called Rick and the Raiders that played the "sock hops" in the local high school gyms. We knew he was on his way when he appeared on a half hour WHIO-TV program called "Rising Generation". That was hosted on Saturday afternoons by Ted Ryan.
For the past several summers Rick Derringer has appeared for a free show at the Union City community festival. He is still good, and it is worth the drive.
What was the name of the Saturday afternoon TV show that was a rip-off of Dick Clark's "American Bandstand"??? Local teens dancing to local bands.
Finally, for now... am I the only one that misses the Frisch's that stood at the entrance of UD ???
Phil Donohue, Larry Flint, and I can't believe noone has mentioned "Rags"

I remember a lot of things/places from the 60s/70's having been born in Dayton in 1958 but raised in Huber Heights.
I remember Clubhouse 22 although I didn't watch it much. I know it had at least 3 different hosts, Malcolm McLoed(sp), Johnny Walker (I think) and another guy with the last name of Smith, I do believe. One of my unlces was on the show for a few minutes in the 70's advertising a "toy" he made from his home workshop (called a RimRod/$2.50) but it never took off. I still have the one he gave me for free.
I remember "Bowling For Dollars" with David G. MacFarland(sp), former DJ on WONE as host.
Since I grew up in HH, I don't recall a lot of things in Dayton other than places we passed or went to on occasion, like the Parkmoor Restaurant (I mentioned earlier) on Airway, Ontario's on Needmore, Gold Circle on Woodman and seems I recall a Shopper's Fair department store back then, too.
I still have a 1965 Barbie & Midge black patten leather lunchbox/thermos that my mother bought for me at Gold Circle. The "gold" price tag sticker, $2.95, is still on the lunchbox. It's worth much more than that now!
I remember there was a Flint's (fast food) restaurant and also a place called The Steak Chalet in Huber Heights where you could get steak and baked potatoes and salad "to go".
I remember going to a place in Dayton (maybe in Kettering or Oakwood) called David's Buffet on a few special family occasions.
Another restaurant my mother took us to when my brother and I would have to go shopping (ugh!)with her (if not Parkmoor) was Sandy's but I am not sure where the one we went to was. There wasn't one in HH so it had to be in Dayton somewhere. We loved that place!
I also remember there was a Cassano's Pizza on Troy Street (I think) with a big "pizza man" sign out front and a dairy/ice cream cone shop on Troy Street with a big ice cream cone as its sign.
I see that most of you have posted your messages last year so not sure if you are still visiting this site but I just happened upon it today and have enjoyed it, reading/reminiscing, immensely.
(I remember seeing "Rags" when my mother would take us downtown to shop at Rikes and Elder Beerman's before the malls were built.
Also, I went to high school (Wayne HS) with a gal that posed for Larry Flynt's Hustler magazine in the mid/late 70's and also, I have been in The Talk Of The Town around 1979 or so but at the time, I didn't know Larry Flynt had owned it. I also remember seeing the first Phil Donahue show that aired out of Dayton and I remember his first guest, which stirred quite a controversy, Madalyn Murray O'Hair.
Thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately, the area around Salem & Grand Avenues has become quite depressed. The Forest & Five Oaks area has also suffered. I think Grandview Hospital specializes in gunshot and knife wounds. :0( It is unfortunate for an area as wonderful as the Dayton View area is. The Art Institute is doing well. The Greek Orthadox Church and the Masons are still OK, but they are built like fortresses. McCallister's art supply store is still at the same location on Salem and still a wonderfully friendly store with an awesome supply of materials. But the building is fortified with bars on the doors and no windows. It's just a tough neighborhood.
Island Park (the bandshell) has become a rondezvous area for homosexuals. Downtown where Rike's once stood (they imploded it) they have erected the beautiful "Schuster" performing arts center/highrise apartment building. That caused the closing of Memorial Hall back about 5 years ago or so. The Schuster is a nice building but to me the shows are overpriced and unaffordable for average families. And the people that live there are whining because the downtown area is dirty and can be unsafe.
Frigidaire is gone. GM and NCR are just skeletons of what they once were and could go anytime. All of the other little machine shops and supply houses that depended on them have been forced to close. Dayton is a very depressed city. Every Friday the Montgomery County Sheriff has his own section in the Dayton Daily News. It's 8 or 10 pages of foreclosures, bankruptcies, and sheriff auctions.
But there are some "gems" in the city. The Dayton Dragons semi-pro baseball is always a sellout in a beautiful stadium on East First Street. Across the street from the ballpark Mick is still providing great music at his Canal Street Tavern. A drive to Kettering and the Fraze Pavilion is a great shed for outdoor concerts...
That's enough rambling for now... anyone remember a concert room called "Papalusky's" (not sure of spelling}? It was around the back and in the cellar at Forest Park.

I don't think any area of Dayton is as vibrant or safe as it was 30-40 years ago.
I live further north off Salem in the Triangle neighborhood. I've lived in the same house for 35 years and I've seen a lot of changes in the area and none for the better.
An example is the corner of Salem and Catalpa. There was an auto repair place, a Famous Recipe, a BP and Troutman Enterprises. Now there's an auto repair place and three empty lots.
About the only thing on Salem now is convience stores, fast food joints and way too many places selling cellphones, pagers, etc. The convience stores arent't safe as one had at least three shootongs in the parking lot which resulted in two deaths.
I wish I could say it will get better but with all the jobs and people leaving, it seems most of the people who stay think crime is a good way to make a living.
Sad but true.

Talk about memories...riding my bike down to the Forest for stacks of $3.99 albums; the rollerskating clerks @ Dingleberries (as long as our fur coats are hairy); Rennaissance Records; asking UD students to buy beer @ the Deli - "keep the change & get a quart"; the original Harrigan's; when WVUD ranked with WMMS for best in OH; Jonathan's Flower Hour; the subtle guitar strum that meant start taping; graduation from NCR Auditoreum; and of course, Parkmoor chicken; remember Affairs On The Square on Fridays? I was @ EF MacDonald when it closed in the early '90's - I feel that was the start of downtown's demise.

Phil, try Hasty Tasty chicken on Linden Ae. It is virtually the same as the old Parkmoor recipe we remember so well!

Hi Pozoseco. My girlfriends and me used to go to Pappalewsky (sp?) at Forest Park. I use to date a guy in a band that played there. His band was called Rush at the time. His name was Dave Angi. There was also a guy by the name of Mike SUllivan that also played in his band. I remember seeing Grand FUnk Railroad, Rick and the Raiders (McCoys) and Ted Nugent when he was with the Amboy Dukes. The club was also called the Hullabaloo at one time. We had a lot of great times there. Any body else remember this?
