I love the old ads and always check to see if one rings a bell. My dad, Russell Logan, took me to eat at Lido Gardens in the late '40s. Could it be the same place as in the ad -- Hanover St? He used to stop at the Lido for takeout when he transferred buses to go home at night. He said the bus smelled really good. Again, Tom, thanks for the memories.

My gosh, look at the prices. I note the Wayside on the Pennington Circle. To put the brakes on the rumor that the Route 69 signs had to be changed for risque reasons, that is just not true.
When the "Class of 1969" freshman hit the dorms at dear old Trenton State, the DOT could not keep the signs up fast enough.
I do believe we ate much better on far less income back then.

HI TOM...SEEING THAT AD OF CEDAR GARDENS REMINDS ME OF THE TIME MY BROTHER LOU AND I BUILT THE HAMILTON BOWLING LANES ON ROUTE 33 IN 1955. WE WANTED TO BUILD IT NEXT TO CEDAR GARDENS BUT WERE UNABLE TO ACQUIRE THE GROUND. THE OWNER OF CEDAR GARDENS AT THE TIME WAS FRANK AGABITI, ONE OF THE AREA'S BEST BOWLERS. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE GROUND DOWN THE ROAD ACTOSS FROM TONY CAL'S AND PATTERSON CHEVROLET. WHEN THE LANES WERE SOLD IN 1970 THEY MOVED THEM TO KUSER ROAD. BEST REGARDS.

ReplyDeleteThe graphic is in high enough definition that it can be legible. There is another Google "glitch." Here's a work-around:
LEFT click on the image. Click on the open in a new window. Click on the plus sign as usual. Don't ask me to explain.....another Google mystery.

ReplyDeleteThese are great...and bring back memories. Just look at those prices. I have been looking for a childhood memory from the 60's...the Royal Coach Diner on rout 206 on the way to Bordentown on Crosswicks Creek. Nothing found. Does anyone remember?
