Pat another hang out

Hey Pat
 
Do you remember hanging out at a Rest. on the corner of Verdun Ave. and 5th. Ave. I can not recall the name, but remember we all would squash in the same booth.  Remember Rolly Pearson, Rolly Gireau, Sandra Brennan ??

No she didn't.  Thanks for the info on New Verdun.  We had so many spots we hung out.  Seems the fad would change by the seasons.  We also went to one on the corner of Verdun and Osborne, can't remember it either.  Just remember Frankie's, and Kosta's the old one.   Glo

the Lad   Vic's was on the corner of 6th
& Bannatyne. I hung around there alot. My Dad use to tell me if he cought me
hanging around there he would blow the place up !
Every time he walk by on his way to the Legion., my
friend's would shove me under the booth. I use to be so embarrased about that,
however his warnings kept me out of alot of trouble Ha Ha Ha

Wendy ~~ Was Kim Cheponis from Lasalle?  My kids went to the Montessori School across the street from Bronx Park School, and the "teacher" was a Mrs. Cheponis who lived on 2nd Avenue.  We lived at 171 - 3rd Avenue.

back then, us lttle bikers got in big trouble
with the french gang on the other end of the boardwalk.
later that day, ringo with mother came down to see
us little bikers.
ringo made peace, we were allowed to ride our choppers to that end of the boardwalk.
ringo was cool, ringo watched out for us back then



levisjeans7 MSN said...

the Lad   L.O.H. hung around Melrose park
and Vic"s alot. I was part of that whole group.  I remember some big
happening down at the boardwalk. Ringo and those guy's would in deed help out if
need be.

the lad MSN said...

Hi   Did not know about the Boardwalk..sounds like him...can you tell me does anyone know what happened to him? What name did you guys have if you had one? Last I heard he was selling cars at Woodland. I saw him driving a I think Duster on Wellington one night.   Lad

levisjeans7 MSN said...

 Lad Are you talking to me?????About Ringo. I
haven't seen him since the Vic's days are you still living in
Verdun?

the lad MSN said...

Hi   No I was just replying about the boardwalk. Then wondering if anyone knew what happened to him? Then for about the 100th time I got the boot off this thing...so I guess it got mixed up somehow...I was asking Metalman because he had posted something.And to answer your question moved out of town about 6yrs. ago.. Was living on Riverview down by LaSalle blvd.   Lad

metalman108 MSN said...

take pictures of that fire dannyb was writing about.
also going to the silver dragon to let everyone
know how the honey garlic ribs, chicken fried rice
ginger beef, a few egg rolls, with a diet pepsi

the lad MSN said...

Hi   O.K. making me hungry now and I just got back from Tim's...enjoy.Have not been in Silver Dragon in about 30 yrs....man can't believe it..and the pizza well I had one a few months back when I was home...so I envy you...Now I missed the story DannyB posted. Where is it?   Lad

metalman108 MSN said...

the lad MSN said...

Hi   You mean on Bannantyne? Wasn't there a dry cleaners on that block too? Man if that's the grocery store I am thinking about...was not the cleanest all it took was one visit....   Lad   P.S. I wanted to ask you if you guys used any name when you were hanging around the boardwalk...might have seen you.

teasa0,.Pat,.............................  Reggie Paine is a member here,but I have not seen a post from him for some time,.However perhaps he still reads the messages,.

teasa0 MSN said...

Les, Thanks for the info on Reggie.It has been a very very long time since I saw him.Hope to hear from him someday. Thanks again. Pat

winnie3ave MSN said...


Pat if you want to send me your name and e-mail address off line, I will try and pass that along to Reggie. I haven't heard from him in a while, and I think he may be in Florida for the winter. I would assume he has e-mail there, but I am not sure. Winston Allison (835 3rd avenue) Vancouver, Washington. Jallison8353@hotmail.com
