Hi,,,Good research on Crescent smoke shop,,however, may I
offer some clarifications;
?
Crescent was on south side of congress approx.1-2 doors east
of 6th ave. Ronstadts hardware was North of Congress,
?
towards pennington. On SE Corner of pennington/6th was a
Butcher Shop, with the logo of "Meathead Mike,
?
the meatbox mascot" South of this store was Ronstadts down to
the Shoe shop. Do you remember "Cats Paws"
?
shoe repair sole/heels?? products or the steel heel
horseshoes which clicked as we walked!!!!!
?
Ronstadts had rear alley access next to Mc Arthur hotel where
they loaded/unloaded the big massive bulldozers
?
that were always on display whereby kids could cilmb up and
sit in operators seat. I believe they were
?
International Harvester tractors in vivid Red.
?
Next to Shoe repair shop I remember the "Manhatten Club" with
a Bus depot behind it!!
?
?
Manhatten Club was quietest bar in town as they catered to the
"hearing impaired",,,,so no juke box was needed
?
Across from Manhatten was "Johny Gibson's" Barber shop which
as you all know is another fantastic story
?
of vanished Tucson,,,,,But, That is a another
story!!
?
?
Thx, Rudy with the
"fuzzies"??????? PS,? I do no research
as I lived those times and proud of it!!!!
