stuckincincy Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 He used to pal around Gabriel's Gate in Allentown with OJ. He was perceived as OJ's procurer. I've no evidence.

plenzmd1 Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 He and the rest of OJ's crew were also known to haunt the Pierce Arrow. 358605[/snapback] Alright I asked this a long time ago, but was the Pierce Arrow the place in Williamsville? If so, where was it. I remeber seeing Kelly and the boys out quite a bit in Williamsville and just cannot remeber the name of the place

It was named after the famous 30's and on luxury auto manufacturer, which was headquartered and manufactured in the City of Buffalo...part of the region's history. The manufacturing facility was taken over by the now-defunct Kittenger Furniture company (also a famous name). That factory was just a bit south of the Curtiss-Wright factory, where the Bell Airacobra P-39 was manufactured during WW II. The grille was in the vicinity - at least the one I knew of...

I would know, they ended up with a pile of my money....Nice place in it's day to meet the ladies... Only drawback was that it was disco and I hated that music....but for the sake of ladies....

With the height of its dominance being amongst the elite and affluent in the 1920's... Then came the depression! What is it about Buffalo losing such premium brands and products before they truly become icons? Take for example the luxury car, micro-brewery's and, aerospace... All squashed out of town due to hard times, downturns... Only to have these products re-emerge strong a few decades later full force in some other town? Wasn't the club in West Seneca an offshoot from the popularity of the one in the NorthTowns? It was short lived?

As I understand it, the Pierce Arrow was also manufactured there in the 20's or 30's, or maybe both.
