Fran, who lived in Willingboro, and I had dinner in
Edgewater Park, NJ at the Armadillo Steakhouse & Saloon Restaurant.
4167 U.S. 130
This restaurant was closed around 2000 and
torn down around 2003. It no longer exists. There is now a Wawa gas station
in its place. The Wawa serves sandwiches but it is not a sit down restaurant |
We lived in Willingboro for a few years.
I lived next door to Mitchell.
Mitchell's house was 'The Jamestown' at
Country Club Ridge
Our house, 'The Framingham' at Country Club
Ridge
Climbed into Mitchell's Dad's car and put it
into neutral. It crashed.
Painted their garage without permission. |

Mitchell and Fran had houses in the
Rittenhouse Park development.
It is in his house I first learned about
cable television and Home Box Office.
Mitchell lived in the 'Earlham' house with
brothers, mother and step-dad.
Fran lived on Rockland Drive.

Our family stood in a long ass line to see
a movie such as 'Jaws' and 'Star War' at the Eric theatre in the Village
Mall, Woolco center.

I wish I could have collected a bag of
trash from that theatre and store it for 33 years. Cool to lookback....Ok
who had the popcorn and nonpareills?
Mitchell and I saw that movie where
chickens grew to be bigger than houses at a movie theatre near Goodyear.
'The Food of the Gods'
Summer1976 - 18 June 1976
Opened in March 1961 in what was then known as Levittown,
NJ. Twinned in the 1970's and torn down in the 1980's. This was the first
theater in South Jersey to have 70mm projection.
Mitchell's brother John worked at Goodyear.

That building on 130 that everyone knows, with the slanted
roof? That used to be a Levittmark home furnishings store, that also sold
exclusive parts for the houses.
Former Levittown Exhibit center. |

I believe this was Pomeroy's. (January 5, 2004)
Sadly, Tug McGraw died today. |
