TS: I mentioned this earlier in the post, but like most things I say they get ignored. Jim Freeman was a regular staple (Not Staple Singer) that would be a different genre, at the Railroad Crossing on 8 Mile and Hoover. He may have played in RO but this was his main haunt for years. |

Diane: Thanks for sharing all of your eastside memories. I have to ask for clarification on this one. It's not to be personal, it just didn't make any sense to me.
My daughter lives over on Lochmoor. She's 23 now.
Her folks own a tennis and fitness club on the eastside. |

Thanks, Z - I had the same thought - but hadn't read through the entire postings, and thought I'd missed something. |

KR: Very interesting insight to the "Times are a Changin'" era we went through in the late 60's early 70's. It was a very confusing time given the staid "this is the way it is", "don't question anything just believe" mantra we were exposed to at St. Jude, then to be indoctrinated at ND to a more of an open minded way of thinking. Too bad there wasn't better communication with our parents on this so they had a chance to understand us. Although it might have closed the school down on the spot!
In one of the ND YB's there is an article on ND beginning an open classroom type setting, referencing nice chairs and plush carpeting to ease the room and invite open discussion regarding religion. There's also a poll showing how the different classes felt about the Vietnam War. When I get the chance I'll try to post those, it fairly telling. |

Just curious - did everyone continue on with their Catholic faith - fall away, come back, never leave???? Inquiring minds - well one inquiring mind - wants to know |

It looks like we're going to clear those semis off the black top to make room for the next smackdown. Z, If you don't mind take care of concessions. 7 can do the video (sorry Z), 7 Kid can organize security, I'll do the admissions and JC you're up first. BTW, EB and his fellow bikers may be asked by 7KID to supplement security....so EB brush up on crowd control. CFG: Perhaps you and Laing and work 1st aid
Diane: I also had the same puzzled look when reading the statement about your daughter. I assumed it meant her in-law folks but I could be wrong. Anyway thanks for sharing all those great memories of the east side. It's always interesting to explain the concept of feather bowling to non-eastsiders isn't it? It seems we all have a story or two related to Calcaterra Funeral home some, of course sad, others quite amusing. That funeral home was key part of St. Jude history (There are some interesting anecdotes about Calcaterra in previous posts). Anyway, you mentioned the Rosary Murders...coincidentally, Dennis Wrosch (SJ class of 67) had a bit part in that movie (Don't know if you caught that in previous posts..and no, I'm not his agent)
BTW, details please on what night club and what kind of performances. |

Count me in for the concessions.
It will be an eclectic mix of Spanish & Polish fair. |

Does anyone know if Pollas Market is actually open? The orignal sign is there but I'm not sure. I guess I could call information. Duh. |

KR, who am I smackin' down?? Or are you all just smackin' me?
As to Polla's, I posted a picture on FB that I took in June, and it had specials listed on the sign, but there was like one car there, so I'm not sure. |

Thanks KR - Glad you're in - but strange that there are so many interpretations. I'm in - never left - regular church goer - but a couple of decades of simply "spending an hour of quiet time" in church, as opposed to paying attention to Mass. Got back into the questioning and remedial reading for the past few years. |

Gee, thanks KR. Mary went to Regina too. And she finished 4 years. I had to leave after 3, so she's more eligible to protect the Saddleite honor. |

Z: speaking of eclectic, there was a Mexican/Polish restaurant on Vernor and 52nd in the 80s called Pedro Wisniewski's, no lie. I was torn between ordering enchiladas or pierogies |

KR, there was a chain called Jose Babushka in the 90's. I went to one in Grand Rapids. Very limited on the Polish side, but fun none the less. |

TS: It's got to be entertaining. Look at the world we live in today. No longer is pugilistic competition enough to stimulate our senses we now have Mixed Martial Arts where the chance of someone dying instantaneously is a distinct possibility. Now what harm would it be to have a couple of gals mixing it up in a little mud be? |

Hell, yes I'm chickening out. Diane is at least 7 years younger than I am, and I haven't been in a good cat fight in 20 years.
Also, I wouldn't want to take precedence over a true Regina grad like Mary. It would be disrespectful. |

CFG might be better suited for this anyway, her reputation for exposing herself already at St. Jude functions is historic in nature and would just add to her legacy. |
