09/14/09 03:38 PM #361     Pete Travis Here's some Bazzar trivia - Anyone remember the husband & wife team of "little people" that ran the miniture train on the north side of the parking lot. Or eating at Ying Loos under the high tension wires running from the FP&L plant at the port..... Now I know why the House Rice glowed in the dark!

09/14/09 03:52 PM #362     Michael Engel wasn't the mandarin right there? And across the street was JB's lounge.

09/14/09 04:17 PM #363     Shari Bach (Glass) That is why I never ate there- power lines!! Always afraid the lines would fall down and everyone inside would get fried. What was the name of the "little people"? How 'bout Blizzrds and Burgers in Lake Park? Robalo Pharmacy with the diner in the back?

09/14/09 04:18 PM #364     Shari Bach (Glass) Mike- Madarin Lounge was on corner of Northlake and U.S. #1. Across from Twin City Mall!

09/14/09 04:27 PM #365     Michael Engel originally it was next to bazaar.Bonanza steak house was on corner then mandarin moved in. One king cheese,one princess pup !!!

09/14/09 05:36 PM #366     Shari Bach (Glass) Wow- brain cells are dying already. Not ENOUGH Rum????

09/14/09 08:58 PM #367     Donna Samples (Pintsak) Wow! Putnam's Pantry, Ying Lews, Royal Castle, A&W,all fun places! How about Lums and Litchfields? I went on a little drive thru Lake Park while I was in town. It's funny how things can change so much yet still somethings remain the same. I was checking off names of people I could remember while passing their old homes. I'm seriously afraid I've forgotten more than I remember!

09/15/09 08:02 AM #368     Michael Engel Let's not forget the Hut, the gooney golf at bazaar,beach partys when you could have a fire

09/15/09 09:09 AM #369     William "Chip" Madsen WOW, I had forgotten all about Goolsby's Dairy. Loved going there. My first job (other than the paper route for the Palm Beach Post/times) was at the Royal Castle on the corner of Northlake and Prosperity Farms Rd. flipping burgers.

09/15/09 10:48 AM #370     Shari Bach (Glass) Hi Chip- So many places to recall. You never spit in the food, did ya? My first job was working at Skee's Chicken on Northlake across from Lott's Marina.

09/16/09 07:28 AM #371     Danny Stiles Speaking of milk.. Do ya remember the pyramid shaped cartons? Ya know, I dont even remember, did we pay for lunch daily or weekly? How bout the trampoline park at the Bazaar, and throwing pennies off the tower into the fountain below.. Can you imagine the liability of a trampoline park today? I remember they were ground level with pits underneath.. Still hurt when ya missed.. But in those days your folks just said it was time to go.. I wonder about that Banian tree that John D. Macaurther moved from WPB to PBG by Watkins.. Is it still alive? It was said to be the largest tree in America, at the time.. Is Monroe Heights still Monroe heights? My first job was paper boy for Layton Park.. A great little old trailer park by the port.. I know, its gone now... Maybe if we help each other remember this stuff, we'll all stay sharp!

09/16/09 10:27 AM #372     Michael Engel danny, the banyon tree is still there and alive.I remember being able to rent a boat at layton's park to go fishing or to peanut island.Remember the rope swing on peanut island? How about being able to drive on air force beach or monyon island, parking under austrailian pines where holiday inn was and going surfing?

09/16/09 11:55 AM #373     Shari Bach (Glass) Keep the memories flowing! Wow- have you seen what they did to Peanut Island? Definitely not the same as when we were growing up. I also remember going to the Rec Center for the summers. Lynn Morton and I swam across to Peanut from there and her little sister tattled on us because we would let her go with us! Oh- those were the days. Now we can sit at the Tiki Bar by the Rec. and on occasion Nick Lioce and his band come to play.

09/16/09 08:45 PM #374     Patti Jackson (Weeks) I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I led a very sheltered life in high school...but I do have a story. Pam Cherry lived around the corner f/ me & we were best of friends! Anyway, I was about to retrogress, but whoever mentioned "The Hut"...I can remember going out with Pam & she drove like a maniac down US1 downtown to "The Hut" to meet this older, hippie kind of guy that she had met, & he & his roommate had an apartment somewhere(?), & that is the first time I had ever heard Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention, & you never know how your friends are going to educate you! I know that those thoughts are rather disjointed, but as a group, I think that they make sense.

09/18/09 11:10 AM #375     Cheryl Polley (Briscoe) Yeah Danny, the Banyon trees are still there, but the waterfalls are gone - do you remember they were on either side of the entrance off Northlake? They lit up at night and were very cool. And does anyone remember that holograph gallery at the bazaar? I think it came there just as we were graduating, because I went there when I was at PBJC. There were all these 3D holograph art displays and then there was dark room where music played - usually classical - and they shot lasers off mirrors hanging in front of the speakers and these amazing light patterns that came from the speaker vibration covered the whole wall in this moving laser light show. It was pretty amazing to see. It was the type of thing a college art student really got into....

09/19/09 09:33 AM #376     Danny Stiles I do remember those waterfalls! I also remember on several occasions when somebody put soap in them.. Bubbles came out all the way to the road!! I'm sorry I missed the light show at the Bazzar! How could I have missed that? Sounds like it would have been right up my alley.. Far out! But I do remember the jingle.. Ba-zaaaar Inter-national---- You'll meet your friends n' neighbors theeeerrrre!

09/19/09 04:54 PM #377     Shari Bach (Glass) Yes Mary Jane- you were with us that day to Peanut Island. Now you know it was her little sister Kathy who ratted us out. LOL You must admit- we had great summers there. OOOH- the Haunted Mansion on Palm Beach; another place I had forgotten! It is really great to go down "memory lane" while we still have the memories! Sure wish I had seen the lazer lights at the Bazaar- definitely would have been a show! Danny, I never went on the Bazaar tower- terrified of heights but sure sounds like you enjoyed it. And Danny- the bubbles in the horse fountains at U.S. #1 near Park Avenue were just as hysterical...

09/19/09 05:18 PM #378     Michael Engel shari, the laser light show you can still see just close your eyes

09/19/09 08:51 PM #379     Donna Samples (Pintsak) Good Lord, you guys are bringing backs lots of memories! I remember the many times someone dumped soap in the horse fountains and once when someone painted the horses genitals red. I had forgotten all about the laser light show at the bazaar. It was so cool. What was the haunted mansion on Palm Beach? I don't remember that one.

09/19/09 09:24 PM #380     Danny Stiles Yeah Shari, what was that?I sort of recall something, but I forgot the details.. I do remember in Palm Beach there was a thing we did at the end of this particular dead end road. I think we called it the lagoon.. Every 15 minutes or so, a gasping sound came from the water just at the edge of the road. I think it was a pump of some kind.. You would tell your date about a woman cutting off her husbands head and throwing it in the water.. Just before the head went under, he took one last breath.. So you'd quietly sit there at the end of the road with the windows down. When that thing suddenly made the gasping noise, your date was in your lap! Taaah daaaah!!

09/19/09 10:08 PM #381     Pete Travis Well its good to see that everyone's neurons are still functioning. Here's a few more to "recall" CH5 weatherman Tony Glenn's "patent leather' hair. (Shot a commercial where Tony dove into a pool and swam towards the camera - after the shoot was finished, the pool looked like the Exxon Valdez had just hit the rocks. Lynn Merril doing the weather on CH12. Only two TV stations: WPTV CH5, WEAT CH12, and if dad spent the big bucks on a good antenna, you could get the Miami stations. Creature Feature - WSHE - first FM rock station in the area. Jeans Etc. (Did their commercials as well) Mrs. McCullough - Principal at Riviera Elementary - and her paddle..... Bitch had a swing like Babe Ruth and made the nuns at St. Francis look like amateurs. TV Game Show "Treasure Isle" - Set was behind the Colonnades. The Palm Beach Havana steamship line - carried railroad cars from the port to Havana before Castro, and before Frank Tabernilla showed up in class....... When there was no I-95, and Military Trail was a two lane road. And lastly, when the water in Lake Worth was blue and there were two Peanut Islands. Big & Little Peanut. We used to swim to Peanut from the Sailfish Center docks - that was until we wore masks and saw the BIG F'ng fish that swam in the channel. Not to mention timing the tides so you didn't get sucked out the inlet.....

09/20/09 10:01 AM #382     Michael Engel Ok, how about bev smith's whiz kids and the fishing trips,I thought WMUM (mother) was the first in lake worth. There were only two roads US1 and military trail and militery dead ended at pga. Northlake blvd. was dirt past frolic's dairy. How about the air field and the big lake at northlake & beeline (pete didn't you fly in n out of there?) Anyone remember being able to drive along the ocean in jupiter island before hurricane washed out the road. And the bridge that turned to open? To be continued........... OK where is everyone? Jack Rhine,Ron Doll,...... sign in and tell stories or memories... or CAN'T you remember

09/20/09 10:22 AM #383     Shari Bach (Glass) Greeting to you Pete- great time traveling! I do remember Treasure Island, and also Little Peanut, Tony Glenn- and many of the others you gave us a flashback to! I-95 stopped at PGA Blvd and we could drive from there to Okeechobee Blvd in 8 minutes- try that now... Remember the Hetzel Brothers Christmas and Easter pageants they staged at the Gardens waterfalls? (they started down in Currie Park) So, how is present day life in Sunny Palm Beach County? I agree with Mike- where is Jack, Ron ...?

09/20/09 11:24 AM #384     Pete Travis Hetzel Brothers - They originally were in Currie Park, under the banyan tree that MacArthur cut up and moved to the entrance on NorthLake. Mike, the airport used to be run by a man named Skees, who had the restaurant on Northlake just east of Prosperity. Here's one - anyone remember when pump house was being built? Or the Jet grocery on Broadway in Riviera. How about the fruit fights on 703 between Lost tree and AF beach.

09/20/09 11:31 AM #385     Pete Travis Mike, You are right, it was WMUM - Mother Radio. Kerry Bogart who I did the Jeans Etc. commercials with, ran the station - the owners called him up one day and told him to shut down the station because it was making money. They never expected a rock FM format to succeed and they needed the tax right-off. Sherri: today's weather, hot & humid. Tomorrow, hot & humid. Five day outlook: hot & humid. If we don't get a cold front sometime soon, I just might get a yeast infection.........
