A little bar history:
The Deck was a night club that had go-go dancers on Rte 11
it became the Jailhouse that had toppless dancers, it was on Rte 11 where there is an auto parts store now.
It became the Roman Eye a toppless bar across from the A&W, where Chase Bank is now.
which became the Clinic a rock club, which after a year or so when back to being the Roman Eye a toppless bar
In Mattydale, on Rte 11 just past the Thruway bridge was the Better Half a toppless bar.
Why would I know this, I was the bar manager of some of these bars back then, also another classmate
Dick Straub was the manager of some of these places also. djh

Before the Coronavirus brought the sportsworld to a screeching halt, our Broomball Team won the Syracuse City Rec Championship for the 4th consecutive year. These guys keep me young and somehow I've got them believing that old age and treachery equates to wisdom and experience. Some might recognize the old guy in the back row, far left as Dave Boland, class of '67, who helped coach the team (his son Cody is in the pink bandana). We also had the only female player in the league (standing center). Patrice is a soccer player and as fiesty as they come. She played great and was not afraid to go into the corners with anybody. It's a non-checking league, but it doen't mean non-contact and it's still a pretty physical game, although not as rough as the old days. I guess people are worried about going to work the next day, but apparently we didn't think about that, back in the day.
