I remember the Canary Cottage before it moved to St. Matthews. It was on 4th St. down town, on the east side of the street. Of course, I was never able to go there. I do remember going to Mario's pizza in St. Matthews in the fifties and sixties. Delicious pizza at a very reasonable price with big wax candles in wine bottles on each table. But gone now, just like the Canary Cottage. Bill

Does anyone remember Scaccia's (? sp.) on Taylor Blvd., near Berry. It was in an old movie theater. They took all the theater seats out and replaced them with tables and chairs, but still showed movies (mostly cartoons, and short subjects). I first encountered pizza there about Spring 1956. I knew at first sight that I would probably hate it, but once tried I was a devoted pizza eater. My dad said Joe Scaccia, the proprietor was a bootlegger during prohibition. I never asked how he knew that. Walker K. McCulloch John Bishop <llamsbishop@msn.com> wrote: Pizza for me was Joe Z's at the corner of Hikes Lane and Bardstown Road in Buechel. His slogan was "Joe Z ain't mad at nobody." Never really understood what that had to do with pizza but it was great.

Dear Listers, Laura has inadvertently brought up a dividing line for those of us who remember when in Louisville. It is the advent of pizza.

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. On one corner of this intersection was Davis Bakery. Back in those days, our family had company real often. Sometimes we'd have donuts and/or a delicious pie from this bakery. Or sometimes they'd go to Krispy Kreme on 7th St. Rd. Davis Bakery also had a soda fountain and a juke box which seemed to play "Rockin' Robin" a lot. On another corner was Samuel's Auto Sales and nearby was the Ranch House...very popular hangout for the teens with small juke boxes right at the tables, car hops on roller skates and great food. Ward's Barber Shop was on the corner of Taylor and Rodman. Mr. Ward just recently retired after all these years of cutting hair. His business partner for years was a Mr. Frayser. On the corner of Lincoln Ave. and Utah Ave. was Bowles Grocery store owned by an older couple. They treated all the kids as if we were their own. Totally trusted us to go behind the counter and choose what penny candy we wanted to buy. Between Taylor Blvd. and Montana Avenue was a poultry house to which Mama would send us to get a fresh-killed chicken for our supper. I would hold my breath as long as I could cause it really smelled awful in there. Over on 7th St. Rd. was Arlan's Discount Store with a lot of good bargains. Across the road was Kiddie Land with all kinds of rides for the little ones. I attended Nannie Lee Frayser Elementary School on Larchmont Ave. Nearby was Doerhoeffer's Drugstore where we could buy the best cherry cokes from the soda fountain. Down the street was South Central Park where we spent many hours on the playground equipment and watching ball games. It had a swimming pool which became off-limits to us after my brother got hepatitis. Mama always thought it was because he swam in the pool. Some of the families on Euclid Avenue were Hogan, French, Sharber, Sheroan, Young, Garrett, Witt. Those were definitely different times. We played outside because we did well to have a TV for entertainment. The girls were tomboys and we played right along with the boys having bicycle races, playing cowboy and Indians, softball games, climbing trees and having sled races down the hill when it snowed. However, at times we did act like little girls clomping around in our mothers' old dresses swinging an oversized hang bag on our arm and trying to walk in high heels that was Lord only knows how many sizes too big. There were tea parties with dainty, little china tea sets and we played hop- scotch and Annie Over, London Bridge is Falling Down. There was an- other game whose name I can't recall where we threw a ball over the house to a kid that was waiting on the other side. That one wasn't a favorite of Mama's!! Back in those days, you didn't have just one set of parents. You had many for if you did something you shouldn't...they either corrected you themselves, told your parents or both. I do not ever remember my parents getting mad at a neighbor for telling them when one of us kids had done something wrong. They wanted to know!! Priscilla

Those were, I believe fluroscope machines. We just loved to go to Stewarts, check out our feet, & wiggle our toes. There was a long pointer the salesperson would use to point out to our Mothers how much toe room we had. I was told the other day that the airports are going to begin using those at the security checkpoints now. Too funny. Re: Mr. Bisig, I will get that information for you. I have a Bisig friend from another line and will be with her this weekend. I heard that Mr. Bisig's son took over his routes for awhile. I have a close friend, a Shannon, who still knows the names of every family who lived in the Shawnee Park, Southwestern Parkway area. ,,,a very impressive list of Louisvillians. I did not grow up here, but she has given me several "tours". I have forwarded her many of your emails. Nancy

Donnie and list... They are taking out the S curve in Dorsey lane...making way for CONDO's!!! Cheers, Laura

Glenn I think you helped. I work on that block. My building is 207. We are on the corner of Brook and Broadway., Right next door, heading toward Floyd St, is the St Paul Evangelical Church and then "Sunday School bldg" which looks like the rectory to me. Then the Lemon Gallery, and then the Easter Seals Bldg. Heading East across Floyd St is Methodist Hospital(now Norton Healthcare Pavillion). That address is 315. So I'm thinking the church in the picture must be the Broadway ME church at 233. The numbers on these buildings don't go like houses do. We are 207, St Paul's is 213, Lemon Gallery is 223 and I'm not sure what the Easter Seals number is. All these building are right up against each other. Now, if anyone can tell me anything about the Broadway ME church, I could figure this out. Thanks for your help Glenn. Pam

I know the Arterburn family owned land near Dorsey Lane, the Hite family owned land on the Anchorage side, the Womack family owned land where Douglas Hills is now located and Alpha Tarbel owned land closer to Middletown on the north side of Shelbyville Road. George Whipps had a mill near the Dorsey-Lawrence Cemetery and the Ormsby family owned land nearby as well. Cheers, Laura

Taken from the "LYNDON LORE" book published by the Lyndon Homemakers Club.... Dorsey - Lawrence Cemetery The land from Wood Road and Whipps Mill Road, extending to Shelbyville Road was the farm of L.L. Dorsey, who had more than 1,000 acres that ran almost to Middletown. Dorsey was a noted trotting and harness horse breeder and too his horses all over the country for matches. Susannah Lawrence, one of the children of Lieut. Benjamin Lawrence of Maryland, married Edward Dorsey and they journeyed with their families in 1802 from Maryland to Kentucky --thus, the connection between the Lawrence and Dorsey families. It is said that they travelled over 800 miles and built a large comfortable house in a grove of trees. The estate of the Dorsey and Lawrence families was so beautiful and desirable that they named it "Eden." Benjamin Lawrence died here in 1812 at the age of 73 and was laid to rest on the vast estate and they called the spot "Vale of Eden". The cemetery is located on grounds of the University of Louisville music school near Whipps Mill Road.(Now U of L Shelby Campus) On a visit to this cemetery we found it so damaged by vandals, tombstones knocked over and broken and the large stones defaced by age and weather, that it was difficult to read them. Two , Susan Ann Harrison and Mary Lawrence were discernable. But the Kentucky Historical Register lists the names of Benjamin Lawrence and his wife Urath Lawrence, also Benjamin Lawrence, Jr., Leven Lawrence and his wife Mary Dorsey, also Rebecca Lawrence Winchester. Mrs. Wm. Perry, found one of the stones lying along the road in front of their property on Whipps Mill Road. It had been broken, evidently by someone trying to carry it away. So she took it into her yard and it stands propped against the barn. The name on it is Mary Matilda Dorsey, Daughter of Eli and Martha Dorsey, died 1815, 15 years old. Part of this information was obtained from: Counties of the Ohio Falls Compiled in 1882 Out of print. Cheers, Laura

know where i can find information on Kentucky's counties and their involvement in the civil war?

Pam: I don't find a church listed on Broadway at Floyd in the 1920's. A little east of Floyd Street was St. Pauls Evangelical Church, address then was 213 East Broadway, then Kosair Hotel/Temple, then St.Paul's Evangelical Sunday School at 219, then Lemon's Silver Gallery Antiques at 223, then Broadway ME Church at 233 , then B.E. Detrick furnished rooms at 236. Going west from Floyd on Broadway was John Maas Brothers funeral home which was at 300-302. On the north side was Broadway Auto Center at 301-305. Turner Hall (Today American Turners) was located at 310 E. Broadway. Any of this fit in with your question?? I've got an old city directory for the time period around 1925. I checked listings on Floyd Street, but they were all residential. Hope this helps, Glenn.

Help.......... I was looking at some old pictures online(fantastic web site). I came across the house that is next door to where I work. It's the Brainerd Lemon Silver Gallery House. 213 E Broadway. Looking at the picture, there is a church on the right. You can see just part of it. That church is no longer there. The Old Easter Seals Bldg is now there. A church was built later to the left of the Brainerd Lemon House.........the St Paul Unitarian Church........ but that's not the one I am talking about. The picture was taken in 1924. The church would be on the corner of Broadway and Floyd. Does anyone know what it was? I have searched old churches in Louisville all over the web but there is no mention of this church. Pam Live simply, Love generously Care Deeply Speak kindly Leave the rest to God.

The BEST Christmas windows!!! We always went to see the windows and Santa Claus at Stewart's. Laura

I know that my 6th gr grandfather, Noah Dorsey, b 1785, son of Revolutionary War Soldier, Nicholas Worthington Dorsey (Nicholas, Capt Joshua, Col Edward Dorsey), and his two sisters, Matilda Dorsey Griffith, and Clarissa Dorsey Waters, traveled from Summerset MD to Louisville, Jefferson Co., KY in about 1810. They settled in the area around where the Vale of Eden Cemetery is. Traveling were the Dorseys, Howards, Warfields, Worthingtons, Hall, Griffiths, and Waters, and probably more. Gale

I do have a bit of info on Blankenbakers. Paulina

Do you remember trying on Buster Brown shoes and putting your foot in the x-ray machine and seeing your green foot at the HUB on Shelby St? We lived across from a big ice plant on Logan St and in summer all the kids would get ice out of the chute after someone had bought ice to munch on to cool us off. Around the corner was the 5 and 10 cent store where everything was actually a nickle or a dime. We played duck, duck, goose on the manhole covers. My neighbor was the first to get a TV and it was round...first show was Kookla, Fran and Ollie. --------------------------------- Get your own web address for just $1.99/1st yr. We'll help. Yahoo!

Fourth St. at christmas was like fairyland. Seems all the stores had displays, but Stewarts, Kaufman-Strauss, and out on Broadway at Sears were the best ones. We usually ate at the Blue Boar, but there also was Horstman's Saloon on Market just W. of 4th (maybe next to Goldberg's Clothing Store) which had the best roast beef, which they would slice off while you watched and pile it on bread and cover it with gravy. My dad and I ate there every time we were downtown together. Mother, dad, my brother (then about age 5) and I were downtown to Christmas shop and decided we would eat in town. I immediately suggested Horstman's. We had barely got inside when my brother set up a howl for A Taylor's Drug Store hamburger. You can guess who won. I have never forgiven him for that little incident!! Walker K.
