While on Memory Lane, I was driving down Curry Rd and told my wife about a place called "the doll hospital" where I guess they fixed dolls! Anyone ever go there when you were a kid to get a doll fixed? LOL! I remember when I was about 13, my friend busted the head off of my GI Joe (we were getting too old to play with them at that stage so blowing them up with WMDs etc was the next logical step) and he said "Now we will have to bring him to the Doll Hospital" which we laughed at all through High School!
on curry there's a brick house next to the kmart plaza.........across the street is a white house and in the yard what looks to be an outdoor display case with a red frame.......that's where the doll hospital was................my mom had a doll she had when she was a little girl...a china head doll that needed repair.......my sister took it there to be repaired.................when Mom died my sister didn't want it so I've got it here
Stewarts (corner of Helderberg and Curry) used to be real gas station. Went ther to work on my car around 72...he had a Irish Wolfhound. Think when me moved out he moved to 5 corners for awhile.
you talking about Eddie Kopper's sunoco?................................he shared a garage with Dennis Empie next to the El Gatto in the late 70's early 80's
They were convenient for that, and other essentials
There was a diner/dinette on Broadway hill that even posted THEIR numbers right in the front window every afternoon. Forgot the name of that place though.
Emma's Newsroom was located at 1427 Broadway across from Dave Leather Suzuki.
Emma DiGiorgio was the owner. The numbers were posted in the window every day.
Dick ran The little Super for a while. He retired last year from Kuglers. He ran a home delivery service back in the 70s, from his home on Cutler St.
Don't remember the name of the place, I always remember it as Art's, after Art V.
Art had several locations over the years. The shoe shine store next to Broadway Lunch, the Bellevue Cafe when it was called Roberto's, and also operated from Ace's Coffee Shop off and on over the years.
Was a bar down on lower state near bus station...I used to deliver slips to them every week Don't forget upper broadway bar owned by I believe "family" with vowel at end of name....played there once....visited once with friend fron school when they had stripper perform. First time for friend and he was more fun to watch then her. I MISS THE GOOD DAYS OF THE PAST.
Lorenzo's bar and strip club was in the building across the parking lot from Dom Gallo Florist. Lorenzo's was also a bowling alley back in the 60s.

The Kmart Plaza was actually the Central Markets/W.T Grants/Skillet Restaurant Plaza before Central Markets changed to Price Chopper.
Sadie was the night time cashier for Central Markets way back then as well as the current night time cashier at Price Chopper. My wife worked in The Skillet Restaurant.
