Re: OFFICIAL - The Continental Apartments (former Mark Twain Tower)

All that and more. The giant barrel of free candy in the River Quay, buying baby ducks for Easter and being what my good friend still to this day calls "being a feral child". We used to run free and without worry. I've taken reams of paper, the elevator to the highest floor and walked out ...

We used to get Italian sausage sandwiches at the Red Front on the way home, maybe go to the Wonderland Arcade sometimes. In the 60s and 70s, the majority of the TV All Star wrestlers worked out at ...

Re: Looking for an old friend - Wally Walsh

Prairie Village and I knew Wally first from SM North. Wally lived at 47th and Fairmont but somehow managed to go to SM schools. In the late 70s Wally hung out at Mendoza's Deli on Westport Road.

Wally was into cars and had a Nova in the 70s, he ran a salvage yard on the boulevard in the 80s and drove a Corvette. Later he had a used car ...
