Crystal Restaurant

In a recent visit to Palm Desert, Gene Capozzi and I reminisce about the Crystal Restaurant, often fondly referred to as "The Greasy Spoon" and located for many years at 20 West Pike Street.

A haven for late nighters, their Coney Island  hot dogs especially topped with their chili sauce was a popular and  favorite choice. 

Does anyone remember whether their excellent chili sauce was tomato based or not?

As seen below, this same location was once "The Book Shop" before it moved in 1930 to its present location, of many years at 34 West Pike Street.

    Dick Garboski Frank, a great picture indeed, I can even feel the wind and the nip in air. Looks like another magical Fall with its peak color is just about to unveil.
    
    BTW... what direction are we looking, toward the spillway?

Canonsburg Grade School Pictures

Driving back from a recent Las Vegas trip, I stopped in Lancaster, CA  and visited with a special Canonsburg Friend and CHS Classmate, Loretta Politano Yount and her Family. This is a friendship I treasure, going back to when  Loretta and I attended kindergarten together. 

While reminiscing she showed me the following Canonsburg Grade School pictures from her 1955, 1953, 1952, 1951 Grade School Years.  

What great years they were and Oh, the beautiful  faces of these young Canonsburg Friends.!
