Sharon: I remember Gato the tailor! I believe that he was working into the seventies?? My best friend's grandfather had Redmon Paper Company and I believe that may have been a ewallpaper company near there. I had a relative that may have been a great grandmother that lived in an apartment about a block from there (Leone or Pollio). I lived in an apartment over a store at Bardstown Road and Pattterson. There was an A&P across the street and we had a great playground in the back. Does this sound familiar?

The mention of Mazzoni's on 41st at Market brought back the memory of our trip to the Park picture show on Market around the corner from Mazzoni's. We would go in there to get candy before we went to the show. By "we", I mean my brother and myself. We walked from 35th and River Park Drive to 41st and Market, cutting through Shawnee High School. The walk did not seem long because we were used to walking to St. Columba grade school at 36th and Market each school day. Which reminds me of Reed's candy store across the street from the school. They had the best malt cones for $.05. Sometimes I would save my milk nickel and buy a malt. One day on the way home from school, a man stopped me and wanted me to become a salesman for Saturday Evening Post magazine. I ended up with a red cardboard bag to carry the magazines in. The magazine sold for $.10 and I made 21/2 cents for each one I sold. It ended up with my dad selling the most magazines for me at the L&N, where he worked. I had a regular route all over the west end. I sometimes had a hard time collecting the 10 cents for the magazine and with dogs chasing me. I also sold subscriptions to Ladies Home Companion. This job ended when we moved from River Park in 1944. Bill Brinly

Oralee's Bakery in Crescent Hill had Salt Rising Bread. It's something for which you have to develop a taste. As a child I thought it smelled awful. None you find today tastes like Oralee's. Burk's Bakery in Danville sometimes sells it at Doll's Market on Brownsboro Rd. on Tuesday's in Louisville. It's pretty good. Salt Rising Bread is Southern Comfort Food for you German heritage people that ate "Cuka." My father's family was German but he died when I was three. I didn't get to sample any of those goodies as a child. Cheers, Laura

My father grew up on Northwestern Pkw near the Marine Hospital and moved to MS abt 1946. Every summer when I was a child, we went to Louisville to the house he grew up in for vacations. There was a bakery near there that sold "Cuka" and we always filled our cooler full to take them back to MS. Ours were always the baked cheese cakes. Until a few years ago, after joining this list, I thought Cuka was only the baked cheese cake. Sandi

Dear Barb, I suspect that they may have buried the DC3 or whatever plane it was that went down at Bowman. It was carrying some 25 soldiers from, perhaps, Cuba and everyone was killed. I think a bolt broke in the tail section and the plane went straight down from about 600 feet. Others will remember it better than I Tom the bewildered Barb Temple wrote: > Hi, my first message got way too long but after I hit Send, I remembered one > more thing.

I am sorry. I was in error when I said that the Baby Grand Apts.were west of Iroquois H.S. They are actually east of there.

I am interested in the "Baby Grand Apartments" in South Louisville on Brook Pk Drive off Sixth Street and parallel to Brookline Ave. It is a few blocks west of Iroquois High School. The old duplexes were built about 1926 and was on the 1930 Census. In 1930, there was a female bookkeeper, a male accountant, a teacher, and a variety of middle class type workers. Wives stayed home mostly. The little street was originally a court and folks parked, if they had a car, on Sixth St. I don't know what names, if any, the apartments might have had in the years since 1930 but would so much love to know.

Hi, my first message got way too long but after I hit Send, I remembered one more thing. That is that my Dad worked at Bowman Field in the 1940's. He was an airplane mechanic. He said that sometimes they had to bury an old airplane. I asked why in the world would he have to do that?? He'd shrug and say, "Well, we had to put them somewhere!" with a grin. I don't remember it but he said he took us to work to show us off, my sis and I. I was very little he said.

Hi, Oh my. This message sounds as if I wrote it. We moved to Euclid Ave. when I was 6 mos. old and left there when I was a couple mos. shy of 11. Broke my heart and my sis wasn't happy either. We loved that old neighborhood. I sure do remember Davis's Donut Shop. It had the best pecan cookies I've ever tasted. Sis and I would get a cookie each and Mom would pick out a Kuka, uh I mean a kuchen. She liked cheese kuchen and sometimes a fruit one. Heaven! I remember the little restaurant in the back. Mom loved liver and onions. Yuck. But they cooked it to her liking. I loved the steps that curved around the front. I felt, for some reason, like a princess when I walked up them. It is so sad to see Sonic there now. I remember South Central Park and its pool. I'd go under the water and then I'd choke. Kept doing it, tho. Do you remember when a dairy freeze place opened and offered all children a small ice cream cone for free? The line was very, very long and we would not give up till we got our very tiny ice cream cone. Wow, the Ranch House. My sis and her future husband did a lot of their courting there. They'd walk up there from our house and sometimes they'd take me with them. I have been a vegetarian for about 40 years but I can still remember how a Ranchburger tasted. It is actually a fond memory. I remember Sam's Bar on the corner of Euclid and Taylor right close to where it becomes Winkler. Dad used to go up there once in awhile. He didn't drink but he liked the male company. I also went to Nannie Lee Frayser Elem. School. I had to leave when we moved, which was in late 1955. I hated that because I was shy but at least I knew the people there. I really, really, was scared of the "Visiting Teacher" who went to the homes and brought in absent kids if they didn't seem to be sick. That happened to me once. Some of the families I remember are Rouse, Bohannon, Masterson, Powers, Waxler or Wexler, Johnson, and Warren. I well remember Mr. Bowles and the grocery on the corner. We ran a bill, or account, and Mom would send us sometimes to get a few groceries and she'd give us a note and she'd tell Mr. Bowles to let us have a nickel's worth of the penny candy. If we bought a pencil, they'd sharpen it for us behind the counter. We loved Halloween in particular because we could go for a mile or more around, getting a tremendous amount of goodies, both homemade and bought. My sis and I would go with a small group of our friends. If we could get out before Mr. Bowles closed his store, he'd give us a "full size" candy bar which was something of a miracle to us, altho we each had a small mountain of stuff at the end of the nite. We lived upstairs in a white house, which was gray the last time I went by there. It was in the 900 block and still is. It was reputed to be haunted. I find that amusing how but back then it was definitely not funny! What memories. Thanks to everyone. Please get back with me, Priscilla, I'd like to talk about those days some more, tho it seems you were probably there after we were, but just barely! ----- Original Message ----- From: <Threesonsofpat@aol.com> To: <KYJEFFER@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 6:43 AM Subject: [KYJEFFER] Bread, Milk and Fruit > > We moved to Euclid Avenue in 1955 which runs off Taylor Blvd near > the point where it meets with Algonquin Parkway, Winkler Ave. and > Rodman.

Hi, You said cuka. By that do you mean, "Kuchen"? My family said, "cuka" but everyone I've spoken with for several years disagrees with our pronunciation, including a waitress from Germany. I hope that's what you meant so I find someone else who says it the way my family did!! I guess that sometimes small things mean a lot. ----- Original Message ----- From: "edgehanger" <edgehanger@insightbb.com> To: <kyjeffer@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 10:41 AM Subject: Re: [KYJEFFER] World without Pizza, Amen Pizza for me in the 60's was Lentini's and Caladrino's, both on Bardstown Road.

I don't know how I started getting all these emails but I have really enjoyed reading them. I went to Mazonni's also. We would get 2 rolled oysters for 25 cents. Back then they really had oysters in them. Then we would go to Howard Johnson's Candy Store ( it was between 3rd and 4th on Market Street and they had home made ice cream. They had gofer sundaes it had Carmel and pecans in the bottom with the wonder homemade ice cream, hot fudge on top with whip cream an nuts. They also had the best home made candy.
