Icons of youth

[Graves]

I was bron and raised in Denver and I'm 28yo so not much of where I've trolled has since closed.
The old Eliches on 38th
Smoking in bars too! Although I have since quit.
Second Creek Raceway
Funplex
Skate City in north Denver (84th I think - was too young to give a crap about streets)
Drive in's
Boardwalk USA
Funtastic Nathan's
There was a little dive skate rink off of 88th-ish & Devonshire too.

Remember Celebrity on Broadway?

And I know it's still around, but another memory from where I grew up is the Bucksnort. We always wanted to go there for some reason. That place kinda sucks, heh

Celebrity was on Colorado Boulevard IIRC. We used to go bowling, swimming and such under one roof.

Oops, yep, that was a mistype of mine. I was reading another post where someone typed Broadway, heh. Yeah, it was right in Glendale, and was awesome

Well, I'm getting into this thread a little late as many folks have hit a lot of the businesses I recall from my youth.

I grew up in Kansas City (Missouri, NOT Kansas), so I lot of what I remember that has gone by the wayside of "progress" is different than what many of you remember, except some of the national businesses. I'll try to stick to those.

As has already been mentioned, Shakey's Pizza, then as almost a replacemetn to Shakey's came Godfather's Pizza - both fantastic pizza eating experiences.

HBAR mentioned a place that I was struggling to remember the name of but absolutely LOVED - The Ground Round! Delicious food and I recall going to one near where I lived and listening to a live bluegrass band - the Grand PooBa Beaner Band


How about Arthur Treachers Fish & Chips? They still exist in a few places.


Ah, as Marlin mentioned...climbing trees. Kids can't do that many places anymore - too great a risk the kid will get hurt and their parents will sue somebody.

Going to Lake Jakomo (again, in KC) and listening to all of the hippies play guitar and banjo and singing old folk songs (like "This Land Is Your Land, etc.) around a camp fire.

Remember when KFC had chicken littles? I ate the fawk out of those little b'stards. Or the original Bigfoot, the big big bucket or the big big cheese from little caesar's?

[Elhuero]

I remember old elitche's.

I remember seeing the Noid on those pizza commercials, and back when I thought that Little Caesar's and Blackjack pizza actually tasted good. I remember when the Bigfoot came out and Pizza Hut's The Edge.
