Thursday Thirteen


Last week we explored the things that weren't around when I was born. This week we'll have a look in the opposite direction...

Thirteen things that I enjoyed as a kid that aren't there anymore

1. Winky's
- A Pittsburgh fast food chain that was a cross between McDonalds and KFC

2. Rainbow Gardens Amusement Park - Formerly located in White Oak

3. Forbes Field - Former Pirates Stadium. Hillman Library now stands in its place

4. Greengate Mall - Used to be my family's favorite mall

5. Shake-A-Pudding - Instant pudding for kids that you made by shaking in a spcial cup

6. WESA radio - Alas my town no longer has its own radio station

7. Meadow Avenue Elementary School - All of our neighborhood schools have been replaced by a huge elementary center

8. Vinyl record albums - CDs just aren't the same

9. Montgomery Ward - I miss this department store. Our local store was one of the very first ones

10. The pear tree - I miss the old tree that used to be in my mom's backyard

11. The Hilltop Drive In - I had some great times at that drive in movie theater

12. Kaufmanns - Recently bought out by Macy's

13. Toth's Market - The last neighborhood grocery store in our town. Now there are only the supermarkets in the business district

I'm not familiar with most of these but I can relate to feeling nostalgia for things that have changed :-)

Oh to reminisce...
I often remeber the pecan tree in my grandpa's front yard...
