Steve Warmack (1987) Children should not be allowed to communicate in any sort of public forum.

Mark LOL! She looks like alot of the kids I had in class. I didn't listen to the whole thing, I only made it through about 60 seconds. But from what I saw that is not really what kids are like. OK, here is a topic I need some help on. I have been doing some journaling to eventually pass on to my kids and I need some help with names from old Sheridan hangouts. I must be getting old. I remember the Blacksmith Shop of course and the midget market. Sonic yeah. What was that old Dairy Queen place that used to be on the Corner of the HWY and Main?

Steve Warmack (1987) Oh... the "DAISY Queen" later changed to the "yellowjacket" I think... It is still there isnt it? one of the hangouts in the afternoon for the band kids was the original Ice House... there is a Hardees there now.

LOL, Mark!!!! I watched the whole vid...largely because it doesn't take much to mesmerize me these days. Just set something in front of me and I'm GOOD! As long as it doesn't include nicotine, of course! It's amazing how little attention span I have had the last couple of days. Um...yeah...nicotine is a nasty little demon that must be exorcized. At least I'm past the excruciating headache phase!!! YAY!!!!

And for the record:

Three days, 1 hour, 44 minutes and 0 seconds. 138 cigarettes not smoked, saving $29.72. Life saved: 11 hours, 30 minutes.

Way to go Vicki. Not a business, but don't forget "center lanes" in front and beside the court house. Steve, they may have changed the name later, but the original Yellowjacket was out 270 east past the American Legion ballfield. I think it's where they had the radio station later on. I always remember the Daisy Queen. Is it still there? I guess I could google map it and check the pic.

The Daisy Queen is still there but it has changed the name to The Yellowjacket. However, the big Daisy Queen sign is still out front. The Treats sold it a while back. I don't think it's as good as it used to be.

When I was around back in 87-89, our hangouts were always the Sonic and Midget Market. We still did center lanes and the courthouse some or at some gravel pit where someone was having a kegger.

01/25/09 01:24 PM	#1630
Chuck Schwartz (1985) We used to hit the Ice House before basketball games for cheap sandwiches. The Midget Market was always the place to hang waiting for your ride back to East End in the evenings-I spent so much time there I could probably name every game. Wasn't there a game room a few miles South of town after about 85 or 86?

01/26/09 11:34 AM	#1631
Mike Brown (1986) Hey Chuck there was another place, but i dont remember the name of it, out 270 towards Malvern. They had a pool hall and had pretty good hamburgers across from the Nursing home. We used to go there and hang out some.

01/26/09 05:56 PM	#1632
Jon Paul Anderton (1988) I'm not trying to butt into anybodys conversation but the place on 270 across the road from the nursing home was "Mom and Pops" spent many a night there playing pool, waiting on a party to get started somewhere.

01/26/09 06:52 PM	#1633
Chuck Schwartz (1985) No prob. Jon Paul. How's it goin'? Thanks for the info. It was a general forum topic (sorta). I haven't been back to Sheridan in years and can't really remember the old haunts. Mom and Pop's rings a bell. Wasn't that South of town past Wal-Mart?

Jon Paul Anderton (1988)

Hey Chuck, good to hear from you. Mom and Pops was on 270 just past Dr Paulks office, across from nursing home. I can't think of a place down south except Mott's, killer orders of french fries, and huge bannana split's,yeah back in the day you would start at midget market, drive past center lanes, drive through the Sonic, and go down to mom and pop's, turn around and do it all over again. Didn't realize how good we had it huh.

01/26/09 10:16 PM	#1635
Vicki Ausbrooks (Shaw) (1988) OK...I remember Mom & Pop's AND Mott's! Both terrific little pieces of the past! And Dr. Paulk was my doctor growing up. He even treated me after Scott Herron knocked me out with a whiffle-ball bat when I was playing catcher in 7th grade. GOOD TIMES.

01/27/09 01:45 PM	#1636
Jody Lowery (1986) Does anyone remember Pat's fun store, and Key's athletic corner. I remember school supply shopping at ABC bookstore. How about Meeks variety store.

01/27/09 03:26 PM	#1637
Tina Gilbert (McCurry) (1987) Jody - I remember Pat's, ABC, Meeks and the Athletic Corner. Used to love going in Pat's or ABC - Kind of like the Wal-Mart of our younger days.

I remember all of those stores as well. I also remember a "Freds" store. Motts was the place I was thinking about South of town. I remember because I used to stop there on road trips to Monticello. Lets see..."Chicken Country" for lunch after church on Sundays and who can forget the buffets at "Essie's". Ok, you can tell it is almost dinner time here. A great memory from my childhood were the footlong hot dogs at Tastee Corner after Little League games.

Hey Vicki, so I see I am not the only one that Scott Herron sent to Dr Paulks. When we were in 9th or 10th grade during off-season football, one of the things Coach McMurray would have us do when we were not lifting weights would be outside doing something. Well we were wrestling one day, me and scott ended up against each other. we rolled over together with my arm foldrd back behind me, result.... Dislocated Shoulder! trip to Dr Paulks.

Steve Warmack (1987) Anybody remember back when Essie would sit and play the Organ? that horrible horrible organ.

01/28/09 12:51 PM	#1641
Jody Lowery (1986) Essie also had a beauty shop there that was called "Casa de Puelo" (house of hair) how weird is that? That is still about all the spanish I know

Greetings everyone. There's currently a Facebook group for fans of the Daisy Queen. I secretly commissioned Jamie Gartman a while back to see if he could hunt up some pics of the ABC Bookstore for us (owned by the Gartman's). Did you find anything Jamie? I too, remember getting school supplies at ABC Bookstore - and also Fred's downtown, where you got your photos developed. Who can tell me what the downtown Fred's store used to be back in the day (before our time)? Hint: try to remember what the store front looked like. Jody - I vaguely remember the "Yellowjacket" down by the American Legion field. Wow. Nice job pulling that one out. Was that the building that once held "The Body Shop", owned by Helen Hunter, where my mom would go to aerobicize? They had those machines that you leaned your rump on and they rotated like a rolling barrel covered w/ wooden balls... supposed to jiggle the fat off or something. Alright. Sorry. Enough of that mental picture.

01/29/09 03:08 PM	#1643
Aaron Wilson (1988) Essie's... I ALWAYS wanted one of those sippee cups up on the shelf with the cow head for a lid. Never got it. I'd still love to have one if anybody's got some connections...

01/29/09 11:15 PM	#1644
Jon Paul Anderton (1988) The old Fred's store used to be a theater, it closed sometime in the sixties I think. My dad saw the last movie they showed, some kind of lame horror movie I think.

01/29/09 11:24 PM	#1645
Jody Lowery (1986) Jon- my dad used to play in a band in the 50's at that old theater. The band was called the Sheridan Slickers! They would play between movies

01/30/09 12:47 PM	#1646
Aaron Wilson (1988) Nice job JP & Jody. I wish I could find photos of the theatre... maybe there are some on file at the museum. My grandmother used to work upstairs in the building as a seamstress... I guess it was after the theatre closed.
