Since I have always had a mind like a sieve, I appreciate all those who jogged my bad memory with �what�s missing� items. Here are some I do remember.
East Minneapolis Argus (became NorthEaster). A great community newspaper with some really right wing editorials that would have been perfect if read by Steve Allen during one of his �angry letter� routines. Vocational High School Schiller grade school The Gluek brewery and Gluek mansion along the river in NE The Edgewater Restaurant at Lowry and Marshall (home of the Edgewater Eight singers) and John Skowronski�s Wig and Bottle on the opposite corner. Johnson Sisters Department Store on Central Avenue and the beautiful Central Avenue Library. For real history buffs in NE, how about Helen Wines� and Ptak�s Dry Goods stores. Radio City movie theater downtown (is that the correct name � the one with the red carpeted staircase) All those music stores with private booths to listen to 45s and LPs Arion Theater and Sun Drive In on Central Avenue Powers, Donaldson�s, Eklund�s, Brown Clothing, Columbia Department Store on E. Hennepin (anybody else remember that one but me?) Cedric Adams news show on WCCO TV and his kids talent show on WCCO. radio Dave Moore�s midnight news show (name?), a zany look at the local news Mel Jass� late night movies/commercials Who was the guy who did the G & K cleaner�s commercials on late night TV? Steve Cannon�s late night radio jazz show where, I believe, Ma Linger, Backlash Larue and the rest of the Little Cannons got their start. Garrison Keillor�s early morning radio broadcasts for MPR from St. John�s U. when MPR was a pup Harry�s and Charlies downtown Streetcars Fran Guminga Bottineau, Ward 3 _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
