Did an article in "Memory Lane Volume One or Two" spark a story of nostalgia that you would like to share with the world?
Did you eat at Top of the Tower, enjoy a treat from the Clover Room or frequent Azalea Mall? Remember when we had pizza at the Celebrity Room and went to a drive-in at the Rose Bowl?
We'd love to hear about it in the comments of this blog entry.
Share your memories!

Dear Mr. Ross:
I absolutely loved reading your book, "Memory Lane." But what really took me back was seeing Wright's Townhouse. My husband and I ate Chicken-in-the-Rough as a friday-night treat.
Thank you again.
I have bought several copies of the book for family and friends!
The only error I saw was in the C&O Railway chapter; Chessie was a female cat.
I eagerly look forward to Vol. 2!!!
I would like to know if either of your books show the old Kelly's Hardward Store? My father-in-law worked there as a young man and would like to see if it appears. I already sent an order for volume 2 and will order volume 1 if Kelly's is in there b/c I know that would be a walk down memory lane.
Loved the Memory Lane books. Suggestions for future issues:
Standard Drug Stores - Who could forget the Cary Street Store with the great bargins, snack bar and the basement pet dept. with the monkey.
Tilly's Dance Hall - Across from what is now Innsbrook.
Kelly's Drive-In - Remember the Jet Fast Service and 15 cent hamburgers. Owner, Moe House, was way ahead of his time.
ElJOS at Willow Lawn - All the preppy clothing; Weejuns, Gant Shirts, Hi Karate Cologne
Mr Ross, I wanted to make a suggestion about a future entry in "Memory Lane" and that is the Reynold's Wrap factory.
Thanks for your consideration.
I was just introduced to Memory Lane, so I'm not sure what was included in Volumes 1 and 2. Where can I find them?
If they weren't included, I would certainly like to see:
Tantilla Ballroom
Cotillion
Ponyland Ranch on W.Broad Street
The Santa Train
Just found the website and am enjoying the "trip". Who remembers The Wigwam on Rt. 301 No. Weekend dances....BYOB.
Or, the Tempo Room on Grove Ave.....3.2 beer.
