What about an old pizza/Italian place on the west side of Airline in the EKL area? What was its name?

There was a billiard supply store in the middle of Mall City
It was back in there by Swaggart's place. He owned/owns a city block or two back there. Scary place now.

There was a bar on North Flannery-my first night out when I turned 18. I remember the band playing, but not the name of the bar.
Todays lounge - back in the day.
Dairy Queen on Florida.. with the juke-box and pin-ball ?
How about The Sanctuary lounge in mall city with the moat around the place.
Not one mention of Southdowns here ?

Was The Zone the bar on the back of Cortana? I have been trying to think of the name of it.
Yeah that building was a half a dozen things throughout the years. Mostly teen clubs of various names. Not sure what it was first.

Now there's one that I wouldn't mind forgetting. I had to wear these god awful corrective shoes that did absolutely no good whatsoever but make me terribly self conscience. Tic Toc made them. I do remember the old coke machine with those wonderful little cokes though...my consolation prize.
Andrew's Rexall Drugs, Morgan & Lindey's, Tic-Toc, Rosenfield's were all there together.

Amazed that this thread went this long. Actually all of these threads go this long but I changed up the wording of the thread figuring it wouldn't turn into a nostalgia thread. Lost that battle.

There was an athletic store on the corner of Tom Dr & Lobdell. It was the first athletics only store in BR if I remember right. I can't remember the name but I think it was "The Athletic Dept"? Ummm not quite right but it had "athletic" in the name.
