My Aunt Lucille Erwin, a teacher of music and homeroom in the city schools, mostly Inglenook, was used to meeting friends for lunch at Joy Young's. It was not until I came to Durhan that I ate Chinese food. Now Chinese restaurants prolifrate - one even has Dim Som on weekends! - and Thai And Vietnamese (my favorite) and Indian. We are blessed. Bill Erwin I did dine in recent times at Joy Young over at Brookwood. For years we had barbecue at Ollie's, now gone. Always went there when visiting home. A college buddy in 1950s introduced me to Milo's wonderful cheeseburgers when he had his tiny place on 12th Avenue in Norwood. Later he moved down to 10th Avenue. People from every walk of life went there. I alwas go when down there. Mr. Milo is dead now, but his famous sauce lives. He was a Navy cook who tried to dress up their food. After the war he dressed up his burgers. I can still see his split-second slicing of onions. He NEVER spoke. His wife was most friendly. Even when my brother and I went there on visits home, she always knew us. At least Milo's burgers are still with us. -----Original Message----- From: aljeffer-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aljeffer-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of caroline Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2007 9:09 AM To: aljeffer@rootsweb.com Subject: [ALJEFF] B'ham memories You wrote: Burger-Phillips . . . And the children's shoe department where you could look down at your feet bones with x-rays? Little did we know. Poll Parrot shoes there. I'll add that The Guarantee Shoe Company also had the "x-ray machine" - sold Stride Rite shoes. Mr. Hartselle was the salesman, perhaps the store manager. (Why do I remember this after 55 years and can't remember what I did yesterday? :) I grew up in Jasper - we shopped in B'ham every month or so. A great day was lunch on the mezzanine at Loveman's and dinner at Joy Young's before heading home.
