Pike Prof -- Thanks so much for the compliment! I'm really down because my mom just had open heart surgery and your good words certainly made my day.

I'd love to share some articles with you for your class. I love young people and have spoken in front

Do any of you remember the old Aldo's. Before they redid the whole thing and made it look like a soda shop? Soon after Hitsville closed down?

Momotaro,

YES!! I remember the OLD Aldos -- I saw the Stranglers play there. I always snuck in when I was underage. Aldo found out and he used to chase me and my younger sister at the door. It was so comical. We were sooo proud when we finally reached

AHHH!! At last! A real "old timer"!

Few folks remember the old Aldo's! I remember the lights! Do you remember the DJ that looked like an alien...I believe his name was Brian. He was a great guy for sure!

I am a "New Wave Old Timer" and let me tell you one thing, we would have never been caught dead in a place like that! It is the antithesis of everything we stood for. The KTU banner would be enough to send me out screami

Momtaro,

Yep, a real old timer here! I do remember Brian. He always played Japan and Bowie for me. Then Bruce had his funky soul nights.

Brian was

Momotaro,

YES!!! Now I know the restaurant you are talking about -- I believe it was called "Eats You Want." They had carrot juice and chocolate egg creams. I was only there once.

I have a good story about Brian. Okay, I was very young and dorky, b

[Momotaro]

EATS YOU WANT!!! That is it. I am amazed you remembered! LOL! I thought I would never find the answer! All hail Mare_idol!!

I am a local kid (if the term "kid" still applies). North Haledon via Paterson.

I also attended WPC! Hung out in the student

Momotaro,
