The Vogue Terrace was located on Crooked Run Road North Versailles - burned down in late 50's (my mom thinks). They did not rebuild, however Cargo Candy did. Twin Coaches - Rostraver Rt 51 burned down sometime in the 60's Now to spark more memories... do you remember......... The Ancara was on Rt 51 in Large, PA (they hosted a lot of Ice Skating Stars/Shows) The Holiday House was on Rt 22 Monroevill, PA (was owned by or partly by Johnny Bertera, who also owed the Foodland Grocery Store on East 5th Ave., McKeesport). The building was torn down and now there is a strip mall, featuring a Pharmor.

The Vogue Terrace burned at the time, I think, that Ginger Rogers was to be dancing there & she had comments to say about it in the newspaper. I know I was there for a Christmas Party sometime between 1954 & 1957. I remember that Foodland store. We shopped in there sometimes, when it was newer. One evening a can fell off a shelf on my foot & that toe has never been the same. Let's go earlier - Does anyone remember going to the school yards in the summertime to watch them show movies? You took your own chair or sat on the cement. I went down to the Market St. School to see them. Sometimes they sold things to eat or drink. or Does anyone on here remember Carnival Time in the Famous Dept. Store on their main floor. They did this in the summer and sold popcycles, candy etc. for just a couple pennies. or Who remembers going to WMCK to watch them talk & spin records. You could call in requests for songs. That would be about 1950. or How about WEDO when they had dances after school outside of the DJ Booth window & let you have free Coke. About 1950 there too. or Who went to the Capitol Theater on Sat. mornings for the Amateur Shows, which were free, and then got to stay for the Saturday Cowboy, Mystery, Tarzan, or whatever was showing that day. You spent your money on popcorn, candy & pop. When you finally left the show & got out in the sunlight you squinted for 5 minutes. That's if you didn't go right across the street & pay to see the movies showing at the Liberty Theater next. remember In those days you saw 2 movies, newsreels, cartoons, short subjects etc. All for about 18 cents, if you were under 12 & about 36 cents if older (depending on the year).
