Favorite High School hangouts

[BigBlue75]

No particular reason for this thread other than it being a boring Sunday evening.

We have such diverse age groups on the WCN, I was just wondering what the favorite hangout spots were for those who would care to respond. Where did you go to meet "the gang?" Oh, and please, I am NOT asking about where you and your date went to "get acquainted" (i.e. parking..), nor am I asking what drugs you took or how much alcohol you consumed. This is not "True Confessions", alright? ;):)

For me, (Oldham County circa 1973-1976 time frame), The first fast food restaurant that opened in the county was a Burger Queen,(which is now a Dairy Queen) in the Key Market shopping center in LaGrange. Most of us met there and kind of used that as a staging area. Some stayed there the whole evening, others came and went as they felt like it. Muscle cars were still around then and it was a great place to show off your "ride" to everybody.

Anyone else?

[UK78ALUM]

High school was 65 - 68.

Favorite spots:
Bob's (not Shoney's) Big Boy. On Van Nuys Blvd and also in Glendale. Horsepower galore! Shakey's Pizza on Foothill Blvd in La Crescenta. The Ice House in Glendale and Pasadena. Saw the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the Association, and many more. Gazzari's on the Sunset Strip Anywhere on the Sunset Strip ;) The pier in Santa Monica Pacific Ocean Park Disneyland The beach, usually Malibu, Zuma. Driving in the foothills and canyons with the views of the LA basin

[misswildcat]

Magoffin County High School 92-96
We all went to Paintsville and hung out and cruised at the plaza there. Then sometimes we would cruise through Salyersville, check out the parking lot and b.s. with whoever we might run into. Burned alot of gas ...lol :D

[she~cat]

Warren East High School 1982-86.....(Bowling Green, Ky.)

our thing was "cruisin' K-Mart parking lot on the week-ends(when it was on the by-pass)....but they stopped that and we started cruising Greenwood Mall.....sometimes hung - out at Cue-Time....

[Blue Heaven]

Fairdale High School Class of '89

We cruised Preston Highway A LOT. Rode up Mitchell Hill Road to look out at the Louisville skyline.

Hot Rod Haven in SW Jefferson County was another popular travel destination.

LOL...I'm from Paintsville, JCHS '05. Never cruised the plaza though. Way too much gas, among other "stuff" lol.

[VirginiaBlue]

Clark County HS '61
The hangout was Jerry's on Lexington Ave in Winchester. A couple of years ago, I was back visiting, and stayed the night in the Best Western next door to it. I had the dubious honor of standing on the bank above and watch bulldozers leveling a place that held a lot of memories for me. My wife wondered why I got all misty-eyed...

[RxRusty]

Lone Oak High School Class of 73.

The Dairyette
The 19th Hole
Downtown on Broadway (usually by the river or at the movies)

[gerntz]

For all of Campbell County in the 60's: Ft. Thomas Frish's Big Boy with outdoor curbside/doorside order & waitress delivery service. It was so thick with kids they had a rent-a-cop controlling traffic in/out. Ending the outdoor service ended that scene.

[bigjeep]

Warren East High School 70!

We`d circle Jerry`s on the by-pass in Bowling Green; head to Grants/K-Mart parking lot then down the by-pass, circle Burger Chief; back to Jerry`s and do it again...

[BOURBON TOWN CAT FAN]

Henry Clay HS 88'

We hung out alot at Parkette Drive In, Jacobson Park, Swimming at Lansdowne, or playing basketball and what was referred to as the blue courts next to Cooper Dr.

Most of my time was spent on the baseball diamonds at Shillito Park and HC.

[ukfanman]

Mount Sterling, in the early to mid 60's, had a loop on the weekends.

Hit the Jerry's then up to the bowling alley. From there headdowntown, over the viaduct to the Big Y. Then just repeat over and over. And somewhere along the way stop by Boyd's grocery for the coldest Ale8 in town.

Roll the windows down, turn up the radio, yell at the girls (might get lucky and pick them up) and just keep cruising. We thought the summers. and good times, were never going to end.

[Katfan74]

Clay County High Class of '92

Manchester Square Shopping Center. Everyone would meet in the parking lot of the shopping center.

[surveyor]

Bullitt East HS, Class of `82!:cool:

Family Billiard World (now defunct) Preston Hwy in Okolona.
Cruise Bardstown - around the square to Mickey D's and back around.
Village 8 Theatres - DuPont Circle, Louisville
Batter Up! indoor batting cage (during baseball season) Poplar Level Road.
Mario's Pizza (long since defunct) Houchen's Center, Mount Washington

[CoquieKat]

Graduated from HS in Louisville in 1996.

In middle school, the hangout was Champs Rollerdrome. I was there religiously.

In high school? Usually went to the Dixie Dozen Theater in Dixie Manor. I was too much of a dweeb to do a lot of hanging out or cruising. Plus I worked a lot of Friday and Saturday nights once I reached my junior year of HS.

[jpay]

Grew up in Ashland. PBHS 1978. We hung out in Central Park mostly. (Park Hippies) lots ofPassingthe Friz among other things. The Newstand for foosball and pinball. Country road cruising. Ahh Those were thedays. Trail Drive in on the week ends. Or the Corral....

[TrueblueCATfan]

I graduated in 76..we all used to hang out over in Hikes Point............was called cruising the point..bumper to bumper cars....I had a sunroof in my car and we used to hang out the window yelling at boys...........just a bunch of dumb girls having fun

[TrueblueCATfan]

Great thread BLUE:thumbup:thumbup:thumbup:thumbup

[Calsegs]

Lexington , mid to late 60s:

I feel i must be forgetting some key locations...not getting into college hangs here, just the high school venues.:cool:

[Jeff Craddock]

Carmen, some of those ring a bell or two! Jerry's in Southland, Landsdowne, The Toddle House in Chevy Chase (I ate breakfast there almost every day after finishing my paper route, and I also had my first big "fight" there, after a sock hop at Morton), Frisch's on Richmond Road, Jerry's on Main (just across from Henry Clay), and Clay's on Main.

[zonetoncatfan]

By the time I was in HS, downtown was D-E-A-D, and you didn't want to hang out by the river. So we just cruised through Noble Park or the KY Oaks Mall parking lot.

[UK78ALUM]

And then later, at UK (Jeff probably remembers these): Campus Corner - where the faculty club is now Campus Billiards - where Fazoli's is now The original Ho (Don Imus notwithstanding :ggrin:) in the little bunker building behind Kennedy's The Paddock 803 South Shakey's on Nicholasville Rd The original Joe B's with its C health rating proudly displayed in the window (and a fake dead fly stuck to it) The Chevy Store - with its mural on the outside wall
The theatre in Chevy Chase The Saratoga

[Blue Heaven]

Zonetoncatfan, you brought some up I forgot to mention. Whispering Hills and Family Billiard World. MAn I loved those two places. My buddies Mom used to do laundry and then shop at Washington Warehouse Outlet and my buddies and I would go with her and go to Family Billiard World.

Whispering Hills was the first "club" I ever attended and man did we have a ball there. I heard it burned down some years ago but I am not for sure.

[surveyor]

Yep. It burned several years ago.

We used to frequent Whispering Hills as well, but it was after high school. In the early mid-80's they allowed under 21 in one half of the room. Those 21 and over had to have a hand stamp to buy alcohol.

A few other places I forgot:

White Castle at Hikes Lane and Old Bardstown Road.

Showcase Cinemas and Take Five restaurant.

Krispy Kreme - Bardstown Road north of Gardiner Lane.

Jefferson Mall (Opened in `77 or `78)

[CoquieKat]

Jefferson Mall (Opened in `77 or `78)

Somewhat OT, but it opened in 1978. I know this because not long ago, I found The Courier-Journal on microfilm from the day I was born in 1978, and there were ads in there announcing the grand opening of Jefferson Mall. It was going to be sometime in the week or twofollowing my birth.

Carry on. :)

I knew it was one of those years. My step-dad put most of the glass in it, as well as the Galleria. :D

Cool to have another Purple Flash on the board!
Don't you miss the burgers from the Dairyette?

Remember Vaughn Auto Parts on Lone Oak Road? That was my Dad's store.

[Calsegs]

Jeff , I also remember that for kids who had more freedom than I did, or bragged more, or were just plain wilder--

driving down to "the Lake" (Harrington)

and driving down to Club 68 !! in Lebanon!! shocking...;)

Burned down??? :shock: NO!!!! Sad....lots of fun memories there. Plenty of line dancing to be had, plus some of the Maxwell gang (of Mom's Music and Spanky Lee fame) used to come around. A couple of years 'after my time' they came out with another joint called Dirty Gertie's (possibly in Hikes Point?), heard it was fun, but I was MUCH too mature by that point! :)

Where'd you go to school and when?

Glad to see another ol' Bullitt on here, not many of us around! ;)

[Dr. H Lecter]

Trinity High School - Louisville

Oxmoor Center-

Chess King - very cool store
Disc Records - where I bought my music and perused the cut-out bins.
Orange Julius - yum
Oxmoor Cinema's
They had an arcade on the second floor.foosball...pinball machines.
Ferrell's Ice creamshop. used to bring out the big special on a stretcher
Swiss Colony - Free cheese and meat samples
Shillitos Dept Store - had a record department too

I lived in Hurstbourne so I'd hang out at a pizza place up off of Whittington Parkwaywhose nameI cannot remember. Lousy pizza.

I can remember being daring enough to venture over into Hikes Point. They had an arcade over there calledTwo bit Wizzard. They also had a club across the street but I was too young to get in. Forgot its name.

Lecter, you have to be thinking of the Troubador. You and I must be about the same age, because EVERY place you mentioned I spent some quality time in for one reason or another.

BTW, I never got to get in to the Troubador, either. Same reason. :ggrin:

[CATHYnKY]

Class of '69. EHS in Middletown. I lived in J*Town. The last graduating class from J*Town to attend EHS. Long Run Park the last day of school was always popular. Would make a bon fire at night with books that could be sold. Drink coke and cherry vodka :shock:then go to White Castle to mask the liquor smell. Ate many a meal at the Jerry's in Mtown. Spent more time at The Burger King and Frisches on Shelbyville Rd. Went to a lot of Sock Hops at Trinity. It had a name. Can't remember. Of course there was "parking" in the closest park to where we were. Racing a train to the crossing on Six Mile Ln to make curfew after going to the Drive In in Hikes Pt. The Skyway???

Anyone remember dressing up for the St X/Flaget game then going to a nice restaurant for dinner? Lintini's was a popular place to go after those games. It was always cold and we wore those huge white mums with a green ST X or just an X. I loved my HS days. Some of my classmates still get together every now and then. We've graduated to bowling at the new bowling alley in J*Town, drinking pitchers of beer, eating pizza and baskets of mini corn dogs. :ggrin:

SENECA '68'

Cathy, the teen dance at Trinty was calledc 'TASMA". I have no idea what it stood for. I do remember how HOT the slow dances were.

We rotated between Hikes Point McDonnalds and Frishes.

Skyway and Preston Driveins.

Hikes Point Mario's for pizza and illegal (underaged as we were) beer.

Tuckers Lake in the summer.

We had a 66 Olds 442 and did a lot of crusing on 4th Street and always hit the Bardstown Road Eastern Parkway WC Lounge.

Gotta add sledding and hanging out in Cherokee and Seneca parks in winter.

Ah yes...the Troubador.

I mentioned Chess King first because I was always so impressed by the clerks that worked there. They were soooo cool. They were probably 18 years old but I thought that was what I wanted to be when I grew up.

As I thought about it some more I realized many of the Oxmoor places and 2bit Wizard were in my early teen/middle school years. I could easily walk or ride my bike to Oxmoor Center.

By the time I got my license and was able to find a female who would actually get into a car with me I spent more time at THS football games and at the Drive-Inmovie theatersaround town.

South Park
Preston
What was the one by Naval Ordnance??? Was that South Park?...then what's the one that was out just off of the Gene Snyder near Fairdale?

Anyway my pattern for hanging out at my earlier list changed about Junior year.

When I got my first car, Senior year, I spent a lot of time working on improving its stereo system and "pimping my ride." I also would take my paycheck, cash it, and then go shopping for stereo components a piece at a time for my bedroom. Remember how big those Pioneer speakers were? Technics turn-tables. The good ole days.

[surveyor]

The one by Naval Ordnance (if memory serves me) would be Kenwood?

The one at Snyder in Fairdale was South Park............now a warehouse.

803 South Shakey's on Nicholasville Rd The original Joe B's with its C health rating proudly displayed in the window (and a fake dead fly stuck to it)--I remember when he first opened. I swear the pizza has never been as good since the move.
The Chevy Store - with its mural on the outside wall
The theatre in Chevy Chase--From holding hands in with my grade school girlfriend to spooning in the back rows, I spent many happy Saturday afternoons there.
The Saratoga--The scene of my first--and last--martini. Yech.....
Italicized comments mine ^

And what about that little dance club next to the Ashland Theater? Wasn't it called the Buffalo Tavern? And the bar next door, the CCI. Many years after leaving Lexington, I ducked in there one night, only to discover many of the same guys, sitting on the same stools. Now there was a place dedicated to one thing and one thing only--getting drunk and stupid....:shock:

That's right. Kenwood. I remember the mosquito's there at dusk. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Every time Idrive down the Snyder and see that warehouse where theSouth Park use to sit I think back to those Friday evening triple features. I loved to watch those teen-age slasher movies from the back of my Chevy Vega's hatchback. I convertedit into an apartment on wheels.

[Terry L. Wildcat]

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:Oh my, I'm old...used to hang out at Frischs on highway 27 in Newport and of course the Crystal and Dixie Chili Parlors...also, Gus's Pool Hall on Monmouth in Newport (where I saw somone shoot at someone for the first time).

Thanks for the reminder Ed. I remember later in the day. Weren't they on Sunday's? Many years ago. Being from J*Town and not having Fast Food restaurants, I hung out in Hikes Point a lot when not on Shelbyville Rd between Middletown and St Matthews. We had to cross paths many times and not know it. Sledding at Cherokee Park was an all day thing. Only came home when wet and could feel my feet. We belonged to Tuckers off and on for years. It was where my mother grew up. Its where I met my ex. We used to sun bathe on the tallest platform and then crawl back down the steps. No way did I ever go off that thing. Hey Ed....didn't we have fun? Sometimes I wonder how we survived. :>

I sitting here with a smile on my face remembering those days. Heck we may have danced together at the Middletown Hop or at TASMA.

After sledding in the park we would always hit the Hickory House on Taylorsville Road for hot burgoo.

[TransientAlum]

Growing up outside of Lex, there was the Pizza Hut and the Taco Bell after the football games. Other than that there was the cruising strip but, well, some of us thought it was kinda "red". Thus, we spent the remainder of our time traveling around Lex trying to figure out where all those "big city" girls were at.
