you are so right.

Hello everyone!

Okay, most all of you Greenies (especially the last generation Greenies), will remember these fond memories of the old South Park Neighborhood. So for starters, I know everyone has to remember BURGER CHEF. I worked there all through High School, and I know all of you Greenies ate there at least once a week, if not more. One of the neatest things since sliced bread, was the idea of having a "Salad Bar" in a fast food joint. Burger Chef, was one of the first fast food places to have a Salad Bar, which back then only consisted of a basic green salad, cherry tomatoes, croutons, and 4 dressings: Bleu Cheese (YUK!), Thousand Islands, Creamy Italian, and French. Wow! we have come a long way on the Salad Bars these days!

A few other things I have fond memories of as a young one in the old SP Neighborhood are: SOUTH PARK DRIVE INN & THE LAMAR THEATER, GERLAND'S, FRED FENNISON'S EXXON, & 7-ELEVEN CHERRY SLURPEE'S!!.....although, not actually located in South Park, but on College Street instead, I most definitely remember many young Greenie Teens (Myself included) spending most Friday & Saturday Nights at the CADDILAC JACK'S TEEN CLUB....

....lastly, "THE KEG", as a young adult, I can recall many fun times spent there!!

I truly hope my little trip down South Park Memory Lane has brought back as many wonderful memories for all of you as it did for me!!

Peace & Love to you all,

Burger Chef was the best! And I can't remember how many "Hurricanes" I used to drink at the Keg (and Copperfields).. Does anyone remember Snappys Drive-In, just down the road from the Keg? Awesome food there too..We need to really start some serious planning for the big "All-Class Reunion"

Well I am waiting some GREENIES to step up and help with planning "Mass Reunion" Snappy's had the best Chicken Fried Steak but Shelton's was good too.

Miriam I'll be glad to help just let me know what I can do. I'm coming down but not sure when. I'll try to come for a meeting and help make this Reunion happen. Let me know when and where.
Burger Chef I haven't heard of that place in years boy does that bring back some Good Memories. A $1.00 for a burger, fries and drink and the strawberry shakes were the best. Sheltons had the best fried chicken, so crunchy. Do you remember the Bread Co. on 11th? I think it was Rainbow. You could smell the bread for miles and if you were lucky you could get a loaf and go to a 711 to get butter, it was warm and so good. Do you rembember Little Mickey? I remember seing him in the store, he would bring in those Bannana Flips and I loved them. I sometimes get them up here but they are not as good as they were then..... Keep me informed

Miriam, How about Gandy's chicken fried steak and oh their oyster plates. was so good coming back from across the river listening to the Boogie kings. Found a t-shirt in Nederland that said gone but not forgotten with a pic of the "Big Oaks" on it.

I had forgotten about Gandy's. Still think of Big Oaks.

Home coming bonfires that Lamar Univ. always seem to burn and we would re-build them twice as big. Cathy's Grocery Store across the street from the high school.First dances at the Alice Kieth Park Building in junior high.
