You Know You're From Hicksville If
I remember Willie, the Chef at Milleridge Inn, yelling at me for not getting back fast enough from the Bakery with the Cinnamon Bread mini-loafs (because I stopped to eat one on the way). Also making the French fries at Wetson's and life guarding at Cantiaque Park . Another job, folding sweaters at National Shirt Shop while my friends were trying to get me into Sid's Pants.
Ray Gamble, Holy Trinity, 1971
Where did you work to earn a couple of extra scheckles ($$$) to supplement your allowance, if you got one?
Crown Bakery...a couple of afternoons a week, Saturday night, and Sunday morning until 12:30 (so I could leave and go to the 12:45 mass at Holy Family)
Marianne Carine Hoerner 1968
Millerirdge Inn Bakery and Confectionary. Best job ever.

I remember listening to my eight track tapes in the parking lot at the Milleridge Inn before I had to go into work, then going in the back by the kitchen.

Robyn Murphy Olson 1967
I remember standing on line for A Hard Days Night with other screaming Beatles fans.
Angela Pascarella Pasini 1967
Me too -- and we rushed the stage screaming. Stupid! It was just a movie screen. Silly teenage girls yet a great memory.
Carol Greenstein Epstein 1971
Saturday afternoon matinee...35 cents. Also, saw, but didn't hear, A Hard Day's Night at Hicksville .

Sat thru two showings in a row of Hard Days Night at that theater and couldn't talk for three days from screaming so much!

It's now a church --go figure !!!
Christine Vitiello Madigan
Best donut shop still on the corner.
Cheryl Gries Brown 1972
House of Donuts on Corner of East Marie Street
It wasn't a donut shop when I went to the movies there. It used to be Ray's Luncheonette. Burgers, egg creams, great tunes on the juke box, pinball and a pool table. Great hang out!
Gary Killen 1972
Remember the Pawn Shop next to the Theater?
Ray Gamble
Remember the army navy store next to the Hicksville movie theater ? Best window shopping ever; switch blade knives, canteens, binoculars, old comic books, no end of junk. And I remember seeing Elvis Presley in kissing cousins at the Hicksville movie theater. It was air conditioned and the first place you went on a hot summer might. Maybe 1964?
Jack Platt

Cheryl Gries Brown 1972
Yup.
Donna Howe Cavallo
Went there as a kid. Every week in the summer had a Disney movie.
