I can't think of the name, but there was a restaurant downtown where you used a phone in the booth to place an order.  As I remember, it had two floors and they used a dumb waiter to transport the food upstairs.

Scroll back a page or two and it's mentioned here.

I think it was called Bishops?

I never went there but it was open as a Mexican restaurant a few years back and we "discovered" the place. It's in the Mayo Building at 5th and Main.

Hmmm.  I believe you have the location correct, but I'm not too sure about the name.  "Bishops."  It just doesn't ring a bell.  You could be right, though.

I have been racking my brain over this one - - - - On 41st and Yale infront of the shopping center is a large building which until recently housed Just For Feet.

But years ago only a few feet from that building was a restaurant which stood for years.  Does anyone remember the name of that place?  (If I remember right, I think it was some kind of a steak house.)

Joseph's Steak house?

They left there to move up to 48th and Yale.

[billintulsa]

Hmmm.  Thats possible.

I remember skateboard shops at Think Snow near 68th & Lewis, Gadzooks at Woodland Hills Mall, and Progressive Sports at 81st & Memorial.  There was skateboard contest inside the Southroads Mall in '88 or '89 or '90.

Does anyone remember back during the roller skating craze, there was a place you could rent roller skates near 21st & Riverside?  It was a great idea--rent roller skates for the afternoon to skate along Riverside (and pretend you were in California); the only problem was that the store was located at the top of a hill.  For novice skaters like myself and my friends, we almost killed ourselves getting down to the river path.  I think there was another one up at 41st and Riverside.

ahh bishops, the home of the brown derby... the day they finally closed they had to call in a locksmith... no one had a key, the place had never closed for any reason 24/7 for 35 years... it was at 510 south main...

Yep it was downtown in the Forum adjacent to the Williams center. The whole thing went under in the late 80's I think. It was a cool place- I went there all the time as a kid. They had a great movie theater that showed artsy films too.

I lived right around the corner from the roller skating place that you are describing and yes, it was on a huge hill.  The one at 41st and Riverside eventually turned into a bike rental place and had traditional bikes and then reclining bikes.

I remember the bicycle place.  Do you recall exactly where the skating rental place near 21st was?

Oh yes, Boston Street Skates.  For a time, there was one on 21st Street and 18th Street as well.
