I grew up near holy cross, I had many a tetanus shot and stitch there as a boy. I was born in Deaconess hospital, have no idea where it was.

I was born in St Josephs hospital in 1964.
I lived on Rochelle street near Queen until 1997.
I remember we had a Standard gas station at Hayes and Rochelle, Chatham supermarket, A&P, Gunninghams drugs, Civic theatre, and numerous other businesses in the Houston-Whittier/Hayes area.
My father was a brewery worker at Pfieffer, who opened an auto repair shop on Harper near Outer Drive in the early sixties.
It was called "Windy's Safety Service". It closed after my dad died in 1977.
Does anyone remember getting a car fixed there, or my dad?
His name was Richard Windemuth SR., hence the name "Windys".

It seems to me that we had a Mrs. Windemuth at Bethany. She was one of the cooks who made the hot lunch program work so well. Any relation?

Deaconess Hosp. was on the north side of E. Jefferson, if memory serves.

Hmmm. Maybe a mile or two east of I-75?
