Chinese restaurant on Greenwell Springs

Skillet's

Ruff Meows Chinese Cuisine

I grew up in Park Forest in the 90s and we only ate there one time. Hunans was our go to Chinese restaurant!

Phoungs!!

Building is still there but it’s owned by a concrete company now , Heck or whoever bought Heck is operating out of the property that it’s in now. I don’t think they use the building.

Just drove down that stretch from downtown to Central last week. I'm amazed how bad it is the entire way from Airline to Flannery.

I remember Two Jack's Chinese there in the 60's.

No but the stray dog and cat population plummeted when they were open.

Red Oaks Elementary Raider in the house. Left in 1978 as my father was transfered to a refinery in California.
My father moved back after he retired to Red Oaks until he passed away.
Had relatives that lived in Monticello and moved out 1982 to Central.

I remember when Greenwell Springs Marine was a boat dealer on one side and a small tackle store on the other. Nephew bought a challenger boat with 50hp mercury for a very good price from that place.

Then always had Jerry Lees, TG&Y, flooded and that shopping center never came back.

They even had a well organized neighborhood association where people organized to put Xmas lights up.
