That would have to be at Buddy's - 6 & Conant. As to the commish, no clue.
Late to the party, EB. Jeff gave the answer, but no one could remember the question.

Better late then never.
Boy, you miss a few hours of forum - and fall FAR behind. Somewhere along the last 25 posts, someone asked a question about Altar "girls" - well, I can answer that with a definite YES. Being one, myself, though just an "Emergency Server" - it's an incredible experience. We do have a few "younger" ladies of high school age that assist at Mass as servers as well.
and yeah, I thanks all - I could REALLY use an Orange Julius right now. Wasn't there a Bettermade store in that corner too?
I sort of remember the Bettermade store, but I really remember the Alexander & Hornung meat store where they had the best EVER spicy dried sausages. Oh, what I wouldn't give for one right now. Better than a Slim Jim, and that's saying something.
JCole - Now, you've gone and done it - Now, I'd trade in my Orange Julius for some Alexander and Hornung Sausages. I don't remember Mom grocery shopping there - since we had Chatham's at Kelly & Morang, but that's the spot where Dad would pick us up after we "hung out" at the Mall! :-)
Ok - I'm having to give my complete - well a good guesstimate - of bowlers for our fundraiser on the 19th at Continental Lanes. Anyone out there coming to bowl, but forgot to RSVP? and for those living in far away lands, Yes, I will be taking pictures! :-) I can't help it you're missing all the fun around here -- Polish Dinners, Usher's Breakfasts, a Bowling Event ----it just keeps going and going, and going ---YEAH - ST. JUDE!
I don't think my mom ever shopped there either, but it was one of my favorite Eastland spots. It was in that little building where the Hudson Pantry Shop was also at. I used to buy my Jasmine or Orange Spice Wagner's Tea at the Pantry Shop, then go over and buy a 1/2 lb of sausages for the walk home.
Before stopping there, I was usually at the Yardley make-up counter on the first floor of Hudson's, next to the escalator, buying eye shadow. More than likely, I had already been to either the basement of Sanders for a hot fudge sundae or over at the lunch counter in Kresge's for fries and a coke with Karen McC.
How the hell did I stay so thin as a teen-ager?
What was the question again?
Someone had a traumatic recollection of the Burbank playground being occupied by bocce ball players. My first time ever witnessing a bocce ball game was at Burbank. I didn't know a thing about it. It seems that it was real popular during the 70s. Does anyone recall how long bocce ball was played there? Did it start in the 50s, 60s?
Was it just a few locals that got together? Was there a league? Inquiring minds want to know?
