Don't forget: Sandy's on Highland, next to what was Danver's, now Indian or something. 1st drive through on Highland, early 60's.

The Park Theater, The snow cone joint and The Pink Panther, a beer joint, across from Baretta's, a hangout for Memphis State students. There's more on almost every category, but I got to go now!

I miss Buntyn Cafe sooooo much!!! The friendly waitresses, the HUGE, delicious rolls, the mile-high meringue on the pies, the fried chicken, fried okra, spinach casserole, macaroni and cheese........seeing the Lady Tigers in there guzzling orange soda.....and the wonderful sign over the door with a picture of a little boy wearing his dad's shoes: "Dad, he's following in your footsteps--take him to church!"

OMG I was named after Sandy's! My oldest sister named me and we lived behind the Sandy's so she figured it would be a good name for her baby sister and she thought it would get her free food too

Highland Avenue - WHBQ radio station where you would walk up to the side of the building through the grass and there was a window about 5" wide and a foot tall. Inside you could see the DJ through the rack of 4 track carts with commercials labels on them. If you were lucky - you could see old George Klein himself. Start walking south and on the same side of the street was Memphis first "hippie shop" complete with black lights, neon splattered posters, buttons, and other stuff. If you didn't mind walking - you could get to Roy Roger's Roast Beef restaurant. We haven't crossed the street yet - but we've gone past the drug store, hardware store, and a few others. But we did cross Southern Avenue and the tracks. What memories! The years were 1965-1969 when I did that. I worked part time for Dr. Kenneth Whittington at the Animal Hospital next door to the Body shop.

Anybody remember Voodoo Village? How those poor people were tormented by teenagers back in the day.

I remember riding my bike up to Popeye's record shop on the Highland Strip to hear the latest releases from Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Pink Floyd and Genesis (the real version with Peter Gabriel). If my father had known how many times I was there I would still be grounded! There was a guy there named Danny who was real nice and I thought he was real cool because he played guitar. He still plays guitar around town with several different bands.
When I began playing out in bands myself the only places to get "stage wear" were Chelsea Ltd. on Madison and U S Male on S Highland (home of Dr. Bob, Kevin, Sherry and Gary).
My friends and I loved to hang out at Garibaldi's on Sunday nights. I still love their pizza, but only from the original MSU location (forgive me...that's University of Memphis State).
