Historical/hysterical Dalton places like Brownie's and Levi's
|

Remember Brownie's Lunch that had great cherry cokes, greasy burgers
& fries? What a place to go after school to eat junk food, play pool, play euchre, or just simply go there and do nothing. What a youth experience. Or how about Levi Berg's where you could buy an ice cream cone (double dip Sealtest raspberry swirl) for a nickel (or maybe it was a dime)? I never went to the back room as a kid because that was where all the bad stuff was going on (probably card games or tip boards, maybe even near beer was being consumed). Do any of you have any memorable experiences at these places or any other long gone places in Dalton? My most memorable experience at Brownie's was when I was just a tad of a kid (somewhere between probably 7 to 27 years old), I hate to admit, but I stole a 10 cent bag of potato chips. Feeling guilty, the next day I went back to Brownie's, threw a dime on the counter and slinked away for atonement. "Lord, please forgive me" I said to myself as I left. Lesson learned. I have not stolen anything since. I guess my parents raised me well. Let me know of your memories of theses places or others. I'm sure everyone has a tale to tell. I'll try to think of some other places in the area to jog your memory. The Weaselmeister |
开云体育I
played the trumpet in the band and kept it for many years and then eventually
sold it.? Before high school I was in the Kidron School and John F. Lehman
and Myron Nussbaum and I played in a trumpet trio and went to contest one
year.? After high school I never really played it again even though I had a
major in Music Education.
?
I
spent many hours in Brown's Lunch including pool playing in the back and card
games in the very back room.? How about the many hours we would stand out
front late in the evening and hang out and tell jokes.? Talk about a small
world.? My dad has a manufactured home in North Fort Myers, FL where they
went for 20 plus winters.? They helped Carl & Marcella Brown find a
home in the the same park.? My dad can't drive that far anymore so we ended
up buying it from him and we now "snowbird" from Texas to Florida.? Go
figure that one out.? Anyway, Carl and Marcella are still snowbirding there
each year.? It had been almost 50 years since I had seen them?but we
see each other every?few days when we are there.? His dad ran the
Brown's Lunch and when he died, Carl and Marcella took over although Carl had a
day job over in Orrville so Marcella did a lot of it.? I believe Weasel
participated in a few of those games.? We frequently went to his house out
on the hill to play pool in his basement
?
I can
remember when I was younger going to the corner drugstore to read the magazines
and get a coke.? The Greyhound bus stopped right out in
front.
?
I
spent many hours working across the alley at Bach's service station.? That
was a great experience.?
?
Who
can forget the Dairy Queen!
?
Then
there was G.G. Grimm's car dealership right there in the center of town across
from my grandparent's Furniture Store.? I had them paint my '50 ford a
turquoise color.?

Have a GREAT DAY! Keith Goudy
