Saw this thread today. Its closed so lets re-open it, yes? Here's some info from my side of the fence- Red Carpet- closed now/was some sort of entertainment.development co. Website shows completely rehabbed the place. Looks over the top. The Romantics played their first gig there Feb. 14, 1977 how ironic?! Pets Tavern/Jys.-Pete was my uncle. He built the place and the Pony Keg across the street after the Second World War. Had my first beer[[ahem!!)and 1st legal beer there. You were right- shells were 35c pitchers of Altes $2.50. Hottest chili on the planet- best beef burgers too- made by my Aunt Mary and my mom. She met my dad there. Pete had a hunting lodge near Alpena and used to bring back a deer and make venison stew and hand it out FREE! to the locals- it was a Buffalo neighborhood then, you know. Had two deer heads up on the wall above the jukebox- where are those deer and j box now? if you know, TELL ME! Went inside the place this week and it made me cry! But its still there and NEEDS TO BE SAVED! Send me pics if ya got'em! pool cue place- Carom Club? East Warren Lanes- lanes were all warped in 1984-5. Maple Lanes way better. Allemons Garden Center where Dollar Store is now. Does anybody remember Verdunckts Bakery? How about Football News? In the same building. Get back to me yo.
