Good times!

 

70's and early 80's Growing up at the Quaker Meadow Apartments, I use to walk up to the stadium every home game back in the day! Past Bert's Bike Shop (is it still there?) Up the hill at half time and use to get in for free! I forgot I even had those pictures. Got me standing with WR Tony Hunter shooting basketball (he lived at the apartments). Also, I think we won this game 17-3 but I have a TON of pics of the Buffalo/Dallas game. Tons of Miami and stuff too.

 

Here is a million dollar question... I have not been back home in years! But

 

1. Is the old Donuts and Cream there?

2. Taffy's (next to the small airport and Kmart) there?

3. Berts Bike shop?

4. Chestnut Ridge and Green Lake?

5. Eggert Road School? (Think it closed years back)

6. And old school #9 on Bailey Ave still there? Went to kindergarden there before the family moved to Orchard Park

7. My fav. place The Quaker Meadows Roller Rink.

 

Good times and I wish I was young again......

Based on my last trip home. I grew up in Orchard Park. Graduated in 85.

 

1. Donuts and Cream - yes still there.

2. Taffy's - yes. Surround by large corporate stores. No more fields behind.

3. Bert's moved further down SouthWestern. Accross from ECC-South now.

4. Both parks are still there. CR was closed for awhile due to county budget.

5. Eggert Road - I think the school is still open. Building is there.

6. Don't know

7. I think you mean the Orchard Park Roller Rink on South Buffalo Road

 

Bills / Cowboys game...I think that is the game where we scored a 80-90 yd TD on the opening play of the game. That was when Tony was playing.

 

 

Good times!
