What do you remember?

[monterey1967]

i remember the ritz theatre and the clouds and the stars in the ceiling.  going to the ritz, i didn't really care what movie was showing, just being in that theatre was a real treat.

I remember Looboyle's out at the Forum 21 Mall, the magic shop around the corner, Pegasus Books and Games (a comic book shop, more or less), the China Doll restaurant there, as well as the video arcade (the Cosmic Cowboy, I think it was). There was a Sear's surplus store there as well as the Forum 21 Twin, the movie theatre. This was in the 21st and Garnett area.

I remember the Plaza 3 theatre, out at 21st and 129th East Avenue, where in one day (after sneaking in), I saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Zapped," and "Star Trek 2: the Wrath of Khan," each multiple times. In fact, I think I've seen "Raiders" at least 20 times, if I take a moment to count it up, and a nice chunk of that I saw that day-turned to night. There, I also saw "Modern Problems" and "Taps."

Southland, I remember well. I was 14 at the time, early 1980s. I was allowed to wander off on my own, and explore the place a little more. As I was walking, there was this girl, about my age, came walking by me, and we made eye contact, a shared smile, and whoosh! She was gone before I could get her name. I will always remember that moment.

Ok, I admit that I cruised the Fontana a long time ago when Dale Apollo Cook was still in the Fontana Center.

Oh and as a youngun', I had a crush on Beth Rengel.[:I]

[mr.jaynes]

Ah, the news anchors/reporters/sportscasters. I remember a few of those. Beth Rengel? Not too shabby!

I forgot about that waterslide!!!!!  (I think they moved it into that strip club!)

That hill was eventually turned into a mini-golf course, which is now abandoned.

I'm glad someone brought this thread back...I remember Jungle Safari..knew the owner, met my first and only wife there back in 1988.  The Safari's owners wife wound up opening the strip club next door.  I still live down the street from it by the Vegas Club (which, at one point, was some kind of a pizza place when I was growing up here in the 70s).

Jungle Safari-as a fan of arcades and pool halls back in the day, I was frequently at that arcade, shooting pool, playing vids, chatting with my buds. The people there were the coolest, still remember them. My kinda place for all kinds of reasons. I got on well there.

I was there all the time back in the late eighties, playing foosball, a little pool, as a stopoff on Saturdays to pick people up before we went out to the Saturday Night races at the Speedway off of 169 and 36th st n.  I remember a few times putting people in the trunk so they wouldn't have to pay their way in.  Back in my 'Hair Band' phase.  I turn 40 this Friday and this ain't helpin!

I had my hair-band phase too back then. Although I wasn't in a rock band (but I did get an offer or six), I dare say my mane had it goin' on.  

You hung out there, I hung out there. I wonder if we actually met?

I remember when Dickson-Goodman Lumber Company in Redfork, Where Ollies Rest is now, Burned to the ground. My old aunt and I stood on the corner and watched go up in flames. I was eating an Ice Cream cone, it melted really fast from the heat.

Anyone eat at that restaurant between Tulsa and BA on the northside of 71st back in 1979-80?  I thought it was called the Hush Puppy but perhaps it was something else.  It wasn't too far from the BA Drive-In.
