08/15/08 04:23 PM #295     Michelle Franz (Lisser) Gorski-- I remember the pop shop....didnt they have the slogan-song " Pop Shop, dootily op,.....something" If you froze their green lime, it made a nice slushy flavor! We use to get it by the cases, spent one spring break on those "Tan Mats" using crisco oil to bake ourselves on our roof top! ( Gosh, I am wondering, where was my mom then!?) Wasnt there another old grocery store over by old cedar & the old bridge road? Mike use to work there.... Does anyone remember who had the party down by the river years ago, the house off Old Shakopee. just after you cross over the new crossing there...they had a house with property all the way down into the swampy river bed-overflow area....They had hacked out an area of reeds for a big bon fire....

08/15/08 04:25 PM #296     Michelle Franz (Lisser) I seem to remember walking around down by Blackdog too much, looking around at the Indian Mounds......we all seemed to get a drink out of the "spring feed" creek....now I am wondering, although that water may have looked clear, what was in it! Kind of eery down there!

08/15/08 04:32 PM #297     Charles S. Steve Helman France Avenue Drive-in...They wrecked it when they put in the two screens behind the main screen...All us Car guy's used to park in the back row and talk cars while drinking beer. I was working at Ottos Liquor on 79th and Portland in our Sr. year. I swear that more beer went out the back door on Friday and Saturday nights than the front door... I think I went there to see Star Wars at least a couple dozen times and never watched one minute of the movie. How many of you remember the old Bloomington Drive-in on 494 atd 12th avenue?

08/15/08 04:35 PM #298     Charles S. Steve Helman Michelle: I think you might be thinking about Bill Bradley. His house was just off of Old Shakopee and we partied Hardy down by the swamps and Bass Ponds.

08/15/08 04:47 PM #299     Lori A. Tuchscherer (Broadhead) we used to watch the movies at the Bloomington Drive In from the roof of my house! Never knew what they were saying, of course, but we thought we were so sneaky!

08/15/08 04:49 PM #300     Lori A. Tuchscherer (Broadhead) And to all you car guys out there - I just saw a Mercury Pacer on my way home (yea, for real, not kidding). I bet each and every one of you is jealous!

08/15/08 04:50 PM #301     Michelle Franz (Lisser) I think you are right, that was Bill Bradley! I just found my 1978 trunk, dug through 8 before I got to it....just found an '75 Homecoming Button " Take a spartan by the shirt, grind his face into the dirt!" Lots of cheerleader stuff, Heck, I have my old saddle shoes in there, and some pom poms!

08/15/08 04:52 PM #302     Lori A. Tuchscherer (Broadhead) Does anyone remember being able to go to Nine Mile Creek and wade in and walk the creek for a really long way? We used to do it all the time when I was little - but I took my kids down there about 3 years ago and we almost drowned.

08/15/08 05:06 PM #303     Michelle Franz (Lisser) Ok Mark and Steve I just came across my Raiders..1974 Yearbook, we were in 8th grade....your pictures are hilarious.....hey remember Al Greimel..? Barbara Herdegen...? Jim Lindgren..( sad to come across Patty Jones' picture) Lori Moline, Micheal Marholtz..wasnt he a long time Riverside! Crysty Oas...( sad to come across Val Wickland's too) I had scribbled"cute" by Trent Treimers' pix...Hilarious!

08/15/08 05:19 PM #304     Jeffrey S. Richards Steve, the Welcome to my Nightmare was at the met center, I don't remember anything about tear gas but heck there is alot of things I cant remember from the 70's.

08/15/08 05:23 PM #305     Lori A. Tuchscherer (Broadhead) How many of you feel "exposed" when your kids watch "That 70's Show?" My girls love that show, but they just look at me out of the corner of their eyes....

08/15/08 05:26 PM #306     Charles S. Steve Helman I Love that 70's Show...I like to pick out who my friends were...I think I was more like Hyde..Scott Pearson Was Kelso...Gota Love it...:-) Oh and My Highschool Sweeheart Judy, was deffinatly Jackie...Ha...

08/15/08 05:27 PM #307     Jeffrey S. Richards The 70's show is so true. My boys always referenced me when they would be sitting in the basement smoking ??. Reminds me of some of the get togethers we had at AP's house.

08/15/08 05:29 PM #308     Lorie M. Sejrup (McCauley) michelle the old gas station/auto shop indeed was owned by non other than george sunday he was the father of viking player milt sunday when i worked at the cleaners across the street(oxboro cleaners)next to the hardware store owne dby a husband wife team the last name started with an h i believe and oxboro clinic on the other side of the cleaners. the sunday brothers and their pa were customers at the cleaners. my pa knew them all very well as they were in the same business. george had two sons ed and milt (milton) i remember winning a a big pink stuffed cow it even had huge white utters from the clover sweet shop from a key we got in the news paper(the bloomington sun)

08/15/08 05:31 PM #309     Mark Chapman My Raiders yearbooks just all got accidentally tossed out a few months back. I'm kinda sad to not have those now. All those names bring back another flood of memories all right. Can you find out who were the OGs when we were in there? And I'm sure it is Bill Bradley's place you're thinking of. Spent many evenings around that campfire. Bill, Scott Pearson, Pat Carey, Mike McKibben all brought their guitars down and we had very 'mellow' times. They'd play Crosby, Stills & Nash, America, Dan Fogelberg & others.

08/15/08 05:33 PM #310     Charles S. Steve Helman Ya Know what Jeff R. I'm gaining a lot of blackmale information on these pages for those well deserved day's off...:-)

08/15/08 05:34 PM #311     Lori A. Tuchscherer (Broadhead) I think our motto back then should have been "What happens in the basement, stays in the basement."

08/15/08 05:35 PM #312     Charles S. Steve Helman Mark, I'm sure I was there for a lot of those times with Bill and gang..Scott was one of my best friends in highschool and we ended up roommates for a short time before I got married in 81, I'm sure the Quigly brothers were there too.

08/15/08 05:35 PM #313     Jeffrey S. Richards What happened in the basement stays in the basement, words to live by,, Got that Steve?

08/15/08 05:36 PM #314     Charles S. Steve Helman Got It!!!!

08/15/08 05:37 PM #315     Jeffrey S. Richards So what days do you need off?

08/15/08 05:41 PM #316     Lori A. Tuchscherer (Broadhead) You are too easy, Jeff!

08/15/08 05:43 PM #317     Jeffrey S. Richards Wasn't that a song by Lionel Richie??

08/15/08 05:44 PM #318     Mark Chapman You're right Steve. The Quigly's were always strumming. Are you still in touch with Scott?

08/15/08 05:46 PM #319     Betty M. Pate (Jorgenson) I'm dying you guys - Jeff and Lori, I always think of Aubrey Polk's basement when I watch "That 70's Show" - my son will look at me and say, "You look like you know what they're talking about by experience" - I plead the 5th!
