    3. Well I can't seem to let this thread go. (please Mr. Webmaster tell me when enough is enough). The buildings that housed the Hilltop and the fire station are still there. There is (or was) a costume shop in one and forget what is/was in the other. And you can still get a Mazzoni oyster, except you have to go out on Taylorsville Rd. across from Bowman Field (next to the historic and infamous Air Devil's Inn). I remember Mazzoni's when they were downtown and also at 41st & Market. I am "young" enough to remember that during WWII the Army Air Force used Bowman Field for training. Prior to D-Day there was a glider unit that trained there. My aunt and my cousin were both about 18 then. How in the world they got from Portland to way out in the country to Bowman Field is beyond me, but they did, and used to frequent ADI (even took me along once, but didn't tell my mother where they were taking me). My dad said they were doing their best to aid the war effort. Took a long time before I realized what he meant. In 1946 they both married soldiers whom they had met during the war. In fact our residence became a mini-service club on Saturday nights. There were always a couple of soldiers there for dinner, even if my aunt and cousin weren't. I think dad (who was an excellent cook) always fed them spaghetti and meatballs. He said he was doing his part for the war effort. The price of admission was that they had to peel off their regimental shoulder patch and give it to me. By war's end I had quite a collection. I wish I still had them but lost them in a move years ago. Of all the things I kept is an SS armband one of the soldiers mailed me from Germany. He said he "liberated" it because the former wearer no longer needed it. Walker K.

    1. Re: [KYJEFFER] Xray Machines in Sears store
    2. It was the smell of the popcorn at that Sears & Roebuck's that was so entrancing. My Dad worked at the L&N, so going to Sears was a special treat when we would meet him at his office. Whnever I watch the beginning of "The Christmas Story", I always return to the wonderful Christmas windows at Sears facing Broadway. Living in exile here in Florida, precludes my ability to enjoy the cold so connected with my childhood. Soon the time for the burning of leaves would be upon us, and the thrill of Halloween on streets, now buried under the runways at Standiford Field. without question, Louisville, with all of its blemishes, WAS, indeed, the Center of the Universe.

    2. Fran & Gerry Fischer
    3. Thanks for all your input. I didn't know that Adler made pianos. My Dad worked there when I was born and all he told me was that he was a cabinet finisher. Guess I assumed that it was a cabinet factory. Dad even worked part time at Fountain Ferry and going there was a treat for us. All we would do wold be walk around and ride the merry go round. After moving from Parker Avenue we moved to the South End so my Dad would be closer to work at the Naval Ordnance. On Fridays we would walk to Iroquois Manor. That was a big treat for us and we never thought about the walk. When we returned home we had a treat of a Coke and Fritos. In the winter time, it was even better, Mother would put the Cokes outside to get cold. Yes I remember when we used to go downtown on Saturdays in our best clothes, including heels and white gloves and walk from Broadway to Market. We would vist almost every store that was on Fourth Street. In the 60's my Mother worked at Bacon's in the fabric department and when she would get off, we met her at the door on Market Street and we would walk to Mazonni's and get their rolled oysters. Seems like I remember them costing 35 cents. My sister didn't like oysters, so she would get an American Cheese sandwich. After we got through eating we would ride the bus home. Fran

    3. Dear Listers, Speaking of Genealogy, I had a first cousin, once removed who was a buyer at Stewarts. She died a few years ago. I did not know that in 1930 she was married to the president of an oil company. I guess they went bust during the depression. Her name was Helen Fiske Gordon and her husband's name was Ross Gordon. They had three children: Helen, Ross, and Elizabeth "Betsy" Gordon b. from 1918- 1928 Does anyone know how to find out which Oil Company he was president of?

I still have LOTS of relatives living in Louisville: THIRLWELL, FLODEN, YOUNGER, ERNST, KYSER, and lots of collateral ones. My JONES line seems to have died out down there. Thank for the memories, Pat, a transplanted Kentuckian

    3. Dear Listers Several Years ago I was eating dinner at a local chain restaurant in Southern CA. It was famous not just for its cuisine, but for its funky decorations that were all over the walls. I wish I could remember the name of the place. Anyway, one of the decorations on the wall was about a 4 X 4 inch logo of the L&N railroad cast in metal and painted in whatever colors the L&N RR used. I think one color was red.

    3. Tim Young Productions has a website http://members.aol.com/taymed/catalog.htm He has VHS tapes described in Dana's message plus tapes of Cleveland, OH, Cincinnati, OH, the Belle of Louisville, The Delta Queen, steam railroads, etc. Looks like they are all $25 plus shipping and can be ordered from the website.

If I remember the ones they had on sale at Borders, there was: Fontaine Ferry Fourth Street The 1937 Flood The Portland District I think there was one for Old Louisville, too, but I can't remember. I have the 1937 Flood video, as well as the Fontaine Ferry video. As best I remember, and it's been a couple of years since I got the 1937 Flood video, they were only available on VHS. They may have started putting them on DVD since my purchase, but not sure.
