Happy Thanksgiving to all

I want to wish everyone a very happy thanksgiving and I hope you are able to relax and enjoy the long weekend. I will be at the largest car show in the southeast at Daytona International Speedway for the next three days viewing well over 5000 cars from the 70's back to the 20's. I will be having dinner with Jay Adcook and his family and watching a lot of football. Thanks to all of you who have contributed to this blog and I really hope we can "keep her goin"!!!

the manlius cinema is still open. it shows more of the artistic movies than the ones that we used to go see on friday. good grief, were we all there??
across from the movies, and up the hill a little was cook's. wasn't it ice cream and stuff like that?

Speaking of the Manlius Cinema, here is a picture I took this past summer while in town for the 4th of July. I looked in the same old front doors and it was just like going back in time. The popcorn machine was on the left as well as the rest of the concession stand and it appeared to still have the bathrooms on the right. Not sure but I think it may have finally closed but perhaps someone from manlius can let us know for sure. I think we all spent a lot of time during our weekends here. And you may remember Weber's Department store to the right and "Pete the greek's" ice cream and soda shop on the left as I recall or maybe a bakery. Need a little help with that one. The next block east from Weber's was home to Leader's shoe store. I will let some else fill in the blanks on this one. Kerry

How come I don't remember those Halloween Pranks?

Hi All!
After reading about all your Halloween exploits I have to wonder where I was at the time - I don't recall any of that! I had lunch today with Nancy (Owens) and Cliff Altobellis at Hullars. It brought back a lot of memories of cherry cokes in the breakfast/lunch side! My Mom , at 90, moved one year ago and is now in Limestone Gardens in Manlius, so I don't go through Fayetteville as much as I used to and spend a lot more time in Manlius. It was good to read your blog Sharon. Are you still in Florida, and do you like it? We divide our time between Liverpool and Etowah, North Carolina, a small town near Asheville. We really love the mountains. We spend a month in Hawaii every other winter - will try to contact Lily next time we go which will be in 2009. Besides Nancy, I am in frequent contact with Cherie Fusco Maier. We used to spend hours hanging out at Irvs Pharmacy - checking out the guys - it was amazing how long we could make a coke last!!! I remember Friday night movies at the little cinema in Manlius - watching Elvis movies! I remember when neither of our parents wanted to drive us one Friday night, Cherie and I each told our parents that the other persons parents were driving both ways thinking we were really being clever and would take the bus - unfortunately one of the parents felt so guilty that they were not sharing the driving that they called the other and we were BUSTED!!! Grounded for I can't remember how long!

Snow!

SNOW,You can have it all! It's 70 and sunny here in Monterey Bay ,CA
I still have nightmares about waking up to 3 FEET there in Syracuse.
I owned the "Drakes Cakes" franchise and had to be out in it delivering
"Ring Dings" and "Yodels" anyone remember them?

It was fun for sledding,snowmobiling and skiing.Now I have to settle for
Lake Tahoe Mountains (12,000 ft. and 30min. runs).

Enjoy

Postcards

Hi all, well we have snow here, 3 inches fell Friday night.

The Fayetteville library has many postcards of old Fayetteville on there web site.
It's very interisting to see what the village was like years ago. If anyone is interisted
here is the link to view them.
