I know - I echo that Emphatic No - but without a doubt we needed to sell the school to survive and we were blessed that the school sold and to a wonderful charter organization. As sad as it is, it would be much sadder if it was the church and not the school being attacked by a wrecking ball.

On the bright side, the alley is opened up. We may yet get our bowling lanes.

who the h is that? doesn't sound like a thinker to me. must be a lost soul from St. Matt's. With the bulldozing, a bowling alley may work, but why not bring back the Jets football team. Width would be enough and the length as well.

Merits or Frank's Nursery for sure.

**Campfire Girl** · May-09-11, 07:11 AM

We on the south side of 7, did our Mother's Day shopping at Revco at 7 and Hayes! Could always find something or Mom there - and across the street to Franks for Father's Day.
Did some gardening this weekend, saw I was using a hand rake from Franks - they built 'em to last back then!

those of us in the Blue section always went to Sapphire Gift Shop on Morang.

**Campfire Girl** · May-09-11, 10:38 AM

That place always made me nervous - like I'd turn and break the previous "made in china" figurine! Dad's place to shop was Papes House of Gifts at Houston/Whittier

I'll bet last night Wings victory has our San Jose friend Eddie, a little 'psyched' out right about now

**jcole** · May-09-11, 11:12 AM

Let's just hope the Wings keep playing head games with him

**Campfire Girl** · May-09-11, 11:19 AM

I COULD not believe the "WE WIN" note that Bet left for me this morning!

Ahh, 7 and Kelly ... my favorite corner.

Wouldn't today be a great day to walk through the alley, and into the back door of George's Party Time for some Topps baseball cards, Bazooka Joes and a Mr. Freeze? And then out to front door and over to Jason's Bakery where a kid with a cute face would get a giant sugar cookie ... for free.

Laing, where exactly was this on Morang?

**kellyroad** · May-09-11, 01:27 PM

It's been a while but did we ever figure out the name of the gift shop on Kelly and Moross?

Sapphire was on Morang almost across from Indian Village cleaners, if I remember correctly. [[I should remember that cleaners, it was my first place of employment - I nervously drove the old Plymouth Valiant into the parking lot at 15 yrs. old, embarking on a very long and continuing employment.) but I digress. I believe we did determine the name of the other gift shop anchoring George's corner.....I forget! :-)

**12468_laing** · May-10-11, 10:24 AM

CFG, you are correct. In that strip, there also was Normandy Optical, a pizzeria later, another dry cleaner, a surf shop later, think there was a butcher shop around the corner on Payton, and I can't remember what was at the corner, maybe a drug store? Indian Village cleaners was in the middle of Wooden Shoe bakery and the Chinese place, right? And, someone did get the name of the gift shop at 7 and Kelly. Unfortunately, I've slept since then and don't remember the name.
