After four years, you get a smooth response, I’m not that same John. Was merely beautiful.
Whenever during intermission and after the movies, had tapestries on walls and a huge organ with a white haired fellow playing before.
I remember attending Fox Theater with my mom and dad in forties.
It was beautiful. Let me ask you something. I remember Posh but there in addition was a dance place that was on the second floor, up wooden stairs, on white but we don’t remember it name, do you?
Betsy Ross on Foothill Blvd before Mountain in Claremont.
It’s not there anymore since they developed homes up there.
It was a coffee shop ice cream palor. On p of this, respected their bagels. Everyone in big school used to drive up there and climb back in. Ok, and now one of most essential parts. They had better sundaes with these awesome wafer cookies on side. What was the grocery name store in the Claremont Village? I will get lung there and put it on my parents house account. I think it turned out to be a real estate office later on. Fact, my parents went there in 70′ Griswalds had a good Santa breakfast nearly any year and their candy shop and bakery was better. They called it the carpet my be 30 + people up there. I remember Disco on Foothill and Garey. What about Point up the hill intending to Baldy?
Craft Design in Village and AKline chocolatiers.
I think my parents had a tab there.
So Tastee Bagel on Foothill. I remember Coco’s but now JoJo’ There is now a Jehovah’s Witness Temple on that site. Besides, they merely ended it past week. Let me tell you something. Freeway exits onto 7th St. You should make this seriously. I live a few blocks from there. Jehovah’s Witness Temple. Just completed it. Wow, loads of memories. You should get it into account. Up until its demise it was place for Swedish Smorgasbord. Needless to say, we had fun looking, dad wouldn’t help us to purchase anything in the gift shop. Years later in mid ’70s they have been a client of mine as they sold TV infomercials for the rather old School House complex which Sandersons had just created around their landmark restaurant. As a result, Griswolds, as we was catching up they realized why we under no circumstances stopped to get at Henry’ Most probably we were on our way to place we ALWAYS stopped on trips east along Foothill.
Since I grew up in AzusaGlendora area, was familiar with plenty of the places as we’d drive through to somewhere else, To be honest I didn’t get to Pomona that very often.
One and the other places where visited frequently during my youth.
In addition to Betsy Ross Coffee Shop on Grand Avenue in Glendora, To be honest I remember the Betsy Ross Coffee Shop on Foothill Boulevard in Claremont. Therefore the first multiplex movie theater was the Montclair Theater on Holt east of Indian Hill. I saw Doctor Zhivago there, thoroughly blown away with the seats that tilted!! Behind the restaurant were loads of tiny shops including a barber who cut my hair. That is interesting right? I was flabbergasted when we was in my late teens to have lead me to the shop back to see a clipping from the Chino Champion featuring me and 1 of my neighborhood acquaintances getting haircuts when we were children. I grew up in Chino and one of my favorite restaurants was the vast W Restaurant on Riverside corner Drive and 15th Street. Rumor has it a competitor rched it. Who recalls the POSH night club in Pomona on Towne near Arrow Hwy?
I watched it burn down in What a blaze that was!!!
Salad bar and huge pitchers of coke were better!
In any event, we used to go there after Claremont and Damien football games. Needless to say, I lived merely a quite short distance from there on Deodar Rd. I remember Shakey’s Pizza. Mostly drag races should be discussed there consequently everyone would drive to Baseline east of Claremont. Not so. Although, bob’s large Boy in Pasadena, Harvey’s Broiler in Downey, Scribner’s in Hollywood, where we could purchase penny candy on our way to and from El Rancho Elementary School, now closed. We respected Henry’ There were 5 fundamental drive ins that were famous in Calif. Now please pay attention. Second RentaCop had a mustache but his titles escapes me. Of course can’t remember the other one. Yup, guys would gather in parking lot across street. Smitty was whitish haired one and friendlier but we will picture all in my mind.
No rollar skates.
I think there was a vast grocery store there.
I completely went once being that cops would generally get word and we didn’t look for to be caught for being in this place. Someone mentioned the car hops at Henry’s were on roller skates. You see, I remember amid the RentaCops at Henry’s was Smitty. For instance, there were 2 who worked there. Sue could play anything. Frequently, whenever we walked or ok bus to Baptist, we stopped at Ruffing’s Music, a store that she liked a huge lot. I’m quite sure I would get her a completely new piece of sheet music, whenever I had money. Considering above said. My late first wife was a wonderful pianist.
During big school, we attended Baptist Church. Only after, to my big delight, we discovered sheet music for the fundamental theme from Patton, a favorite of mine, classical, and lots of showtunes. I have researched all that I am able, and have not searched for anything in the Covina Argus or from Google. Allen has no class as usual, one fumed. Did you hear of something like that before? Huh. What was that like? Fact, have you ever been? Click the link to see me in a second location. Write Now look. Everyday’s Bulletin in Memphis’ Sun Studio. Write
Angels Flight as a coat of whitish primer covers the faded grey and orange paint.
Fontana Mayor Acquanetta Warren was invited to a whitey House Infrastructure Week event and was seated next to President Trump. La Verne’s Pizza ‘N Stuff was usually my blog’s Week Restaurant. What was that like? At whitey House event, mayor of Fontana sat next to president. Now let me tell you something. I believe it’s a Mexican unhealthy food place now. Decent, family owned eatery. Chino as well had a AW Drive in Restaurant on Riverside Drive and they remember we will obtain root beer in a gallon glass jug that gonna be refilled. In business 40 years, La Verne’s Pizza ‘N Stuff was always my Week Restaurant.
I should appreciate any information that you could share.
I believe it opened in 1957, To be honest I was merely four but remember the grand opening.
I remember loads of rural areas. It was fairly unusual back therefore, Know what, I would say better judging by neighborhood looks now. It is does anyone remember Mayfair Market on foothill blvd in Rancho Cucamonga? Alas, such memories are probably bittersweet, for my parents are gone now, and pretty much all that is left are images that at times come forward when someone mentions a place that I will remember. Besides, whenever shoveling spoonfuls of Black Licorice Ice Cream into my mouth, looking across the table to see my dad laughing at me while my mom shook her head and said we not sure how you may consume that, meone mentions Betsy Ross, and we remember sitting in a booth.
Lord, does the clock rush by!!!!
Now I’m a retired Senior Citizen!
BS!!!!! Time flies. I remember well Henry’s Drive In, Hilltop Teen Club, the Posh, By the way I worked serving beer at Posh for awhile) the UA Theater and Fox. Used to move to a dance club on Holt Blvd in Pomona called Broadside. By the way I won’t actually expect a response, I see our post here was four years ago., beyond doubt, pomona? As a result, sounds like we went to quite similar places. You should make this seriously. Did you ever go there or to Test on whitish Ave. I’m attending my 50th class reunion for Pomona big next month. Essentially, I wouldn’t be surprised if we understood one another. By the way, the memories have been fun. That’s where it starts getting pretty entertaining. I followed a band called December’s Children. This usually was the case. Old enough timer here. Consequently, I was in lust with their bass guitar player. Grocery store was Bentley’ gas station across from Walter’ vast lines in the course of the Carter gas crises made Courier front page. Now that has been something.
I saw a rather old Dinnerhorn matchbook on Flickr with Azusa Ave. San Bernardino Rd. As soon as our son was born, probably not surprisingly, she was under no circumstances interested in getting near and anchovy pizza for rather a bit of her existence. That said, was not that Shakey’s that legend reports that Frank Zappa and his father should purchase dough there and hereupon put peanut butter and whatever on p and made a business out of that? Then once more, I remember noticing that it was missing when we went down there for my sister’s wedding a few years back. Mostly, they was graduated to skin man after our previous skin man came to work drunk one night and rolled his hand, they started out doing washing up in the kitchen and mopping out the place after everyone else was gone.
It was one of a few disappointing disappearances, including that Shakey’s Pizza Parlor near corner of Gary and La Verne. That’s a fact, it’s where I got my first jobs. See a 2007 post on David’s blog Clearman’s. I learned here that an old enough favorite restaurant of mine, the Magic Lamp, was originally a Clearman’s operation identical nurse who was my moms chum, need to say her name was Betty Tremaine. In any case, love this discussion!

My mother was a part owner, she still has paper frontpage.
That’s what they will order any single time.
He was practically really good. Henry’s was knocked down in the mid 80’s and they is driving by when it was nearly all done. I in no circumstances had it. Now regarding aforementioned fact… I was mortified! He stopped and started to laugh. It was fenced off and all that was left was rubble. On p of that, I remember all of them. I still have the card that was put on the windshield with instructions about putting one’s headlights on for service and on another side, Chicken in the Rough, that was their specialty. Notice that I parked, jumped out of my car and asked the guy on bull dozier to stop! Fact, I ld him about my cruising weeks intending to Henry’s about how on Friday nights, it will get 60 minutes to get to driveway from way down on Garey but solely 6 minutes to cruise slowly through to see who was there.
He said we was about 15th person who had stopped and shouted at him. Rather hot caramel sundaes and onion rings. Pomona lofty, Ganesha and Pomona Catholic. I went to Bonita lofty in La Verne merely up the road but had plenty of acquaintances from Pomona. This is the case. At least you tried to save Henry’s. Look, there’re 1 or 3 blog posts here about Henry’s, complete with photos, you may see this again. Posterity thanks you for our own efforts. He recalled past department stores and restaurants of his Inland Valley youth, places like Grant’s, Berger’s and the Rockette. Bill Ruh wrote me a nostalgic email which turned out to be the key pic of lately column. Considering above said. My cross country team had drinks there in fall Little did I see they must be living in the position five years later.
It’s an interesting fact that the Orange Julius on Foothill, I rely upon Claremont, was first place I remember stopping in this area.
Lucky whitey worked for Valencia Heights Water Company and company probably was celebrating its 100th Anniversary.
His wife still works for VHWC and I will love to honor her husband at a staff dinner at the old enough Dinnerhorn, now Clearman’s Northwood’s Inn, October 17. Although, I went through withdrawals for that gooey ice cream almost any week. Because they was addicted to it, that ice cream must have had heroin in it. They again understood what my order was will be, when the waitresses saw me coming in with my parents. In addition, it tasted so damn good, Sure, the ice cream looked like an oil slick. Yes, majority of the patrons and employees will stare at me as they wolfed down ice cream like a fattened pig.
I was a nearest favorite at Glendora Betsy Ross, as for myself.
I believe it was on Harbor Blvd.
Trappers Inn in La Habra. My father will proclaim with staunch belief that the 1 better ice creams worldwide came from Thrifty’s and Betsy Ross. My mother enjoyed food more at Betsy Ross, and was content with a single scoop of vanilla ice cream after her meal. Let me tell you something. I would walk from our house at Harvard and Ramona in Montclair, with chums, to acquire Newberry’s popcorn, when we was in elementary school and got my allowance.. Newberry’s had p popcorn. Essentially, there was a Betsy Ross at the Pomona Valley Center at Indian Hill and Holt. I’m sure you heard about this. Pomona Valley Center doesn’t exist anymore. Did you hear about something like this before? I worked at Nash’s Department Store PVC in 1969 and at Sear’s Pomona in earlier 70′ Newberry’s at the Pomona Valley Center had a lunch counter. There’s some more info about it here. There was no parking lot back there, mostly chaparral.
I picked it up and got it to my home on 9th Street in Claremont.
It in no circumstances made it further than a couple of houses down the alley, it may have escaped a day or 1 till we realized it was gone.
Thus I came across a rather massive rtoise crossing the road, when they was 16 they was driving on that road behind Betsy Ross that curved and there were apartments there. Areas all that were chaparral. In fact, why a rtoise behind Besty Ross? In any event, horny toads? It should usually escape and run down our alley and we should realize it was gone and go looking for the it. Sadly, one that could not last forever, it was an enjoyable moment. I was working at Shakey’s for generally that Sue was pregnant. Word got around at some point about Sue and anchovy pizzas. All of a sudden, somehow, there was usually a great anchovy pizza still sitting up there when we closed whenever we was working. There is more information about it here. She often thought it was actually sweet of them.
During that pregnancy, she developed a craving for anchovy pizza.
The employees got to make them home, if there were any still up there when we closed.
We ok phone orders, and after they’ve been cooked, they’ve been placed on ovens p to keep them warm. I was stationed at one and the other common Dynamics plants in Pomona and Rancho Cucamonga in 87 -88 and remember one and the other Saritas on Holt in Pomona and redish Hill Cafe on Foothill as my favorite restaurants.we miss the old enough times with big acquaintances back hereafter! For instance, cheers! Basically, he explains me if I wanted a souvenir from Henry’s and assumed I look at a pile of rubble that hadn’t been hauled off, as I was walking away. He said there was one metal piece from the kitchen that really had Henry’s written on it with a grease pencil but it was well legible. Cute. I think he was married to amidst the cocktail waitresses. He had a baby face and baby blueish eyes. Generaly, my favorite was when he sang the Sir Douglas Quintet’s song Rains Came but did it slow and will go down on stage.
Where It’s At was their name with Eddie Carmel, the singer, a gorgeous guy with curly hair who was a big dance while he danced.
Posh and Test, Yup, the Broadside with Skip and George.
I understood that Eddie got heavily into drugs and that was this for a while being that that boy had talent, looks and charisma on stage for miles. I adored band that for ages. Sad. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… He was fabulous. Remember, I remember the Magic Lamp, I’m pretty sure we ok there a couple of times but we can’t know where it was. Still there. Anyone remember? Actually the building was occupied by the Pail ‘O Chicken restaurant which IMO served the absolute best pan fried chicken extra crispy and served in a skillet, before redish Hill Pizza opened at Towne and Holt. Do any of you rather old Timers remember the Hilltop Teen Club at quite old Mountain Meadows Golf Course across the street from LA County Fairgrounds?
I moved to San Dimas from El Monte in we remember Henry’s Drive Thru on Foothill Garey in Pomona.
It was rn down a few years later.
Good place to go if you liked to dance AND fight! William Stahl and his wife Bobbi, a RN, owned ran it. GarfieldCottage Hospital at Garey corner and Garfield Avenues, in Pomona. Few people remember it existed. Dr. Wow. Commonly, stahl was my Dr. I was in that hospital a couple of times. My better mates mother who lived across street from us was a RN at Dr. He ok my appendix out in that hospital. Stahl’s Hosp. Egg ranches have probably been gone now, at least that one is probably, he had Sunshine eggs plant nearby we forgot where now. It was across from a Mobile home park which came after the ranch however I still recall them fighting about the flies and the smells, as a matter of fact owner, Mike Rossitter, My Stepmother’s father happened to be a city councilman because of their heated battles. You recall a chicken ranch on Arrow hwy and Benson in my opinion it was, right?
For a time I was working at Ruffing’s School Music Supply on Garey Ave, north of HOlt.
They apparently recognized for a while being that when they arrived my table was set and food was almost ready to take.
I had entirely 30 minutes for lunch particular Sarita’s in hopes of being able to consume in so quite short a time at lunchtime hour. I miss Betsy Ross Coffee Shop, as much as the vast amount of places from my youth that are usually for a whileer here. Day has been set aside for the comments about Ruh’s list or about your personal recollections of things that aren’t here anymore, as promised in that column. Click on the comments button below and start writin’. Could you only one rotating bar in Southern California, in the Dinnerhorn Restaurant on Azusa in Covina. Considering the above said. How about the old enough UA Theater in downtown Pomona, or the Fox across street? Back in my old enough hometown we watched Beatles perform at the El Monte Legion Stadium in 1964. I remember there was a real screwy freeway on/’offramp’ connected with it.
