The City/Poly games???? I have not thought of them in almost 40 years.
Thanks for the memory! I went to St. Paul's in the 50's was in the first
graduating class of Mercy High School. My Uncle Ted met my Aunt Michael at
the White Coffee Pot. Small, small world. And now I am in Central
Illinois. Only thing famous here was Abe Lincoln. SOOOO before my time.

Hi,

I went to St. Anthony's in the '50's and 60's.

I say, How about the White Coffee Pot? The City vs.. Poly Thanksgiving Day
Football games at Memorial Stadium.

Thanks for the memories!
I'm a former Gardenville girl which is bordered by "Blair" Rd. and
"Frankfort" Ave.

How about Jimmy Wu's and the way Charlie Eckman would advertise their
"shrimpy toast".
