Used to eat at the Inn Bin at 8th and Market. Our son was born in Ballard Hospital in '88 when we lived near 14th. Blue Moon...my band was supposed to play there one night, then Elvis died so everyone was glued to the TV and we didn't play a note. Favorite show there...Bo Diddley! Drove by Beth's the other day, always miss going around the bend and seeing the Twin Teepees. And can you believe it, Dick's takes cards now, no longer cash only! Watching Almost Live! right now. Almost forgot, sledding down View Ridge hill on sleds in the winter and on cardboard in summer!

Wild. We lived @ 63rd, just W. of 8th. I tele'ed phinney ridge a couple of times. First date with my wife was @ the Inn Bin, loved that place.
I saw GONG for the first time at the Backstage.

Ha, that's funny, I did too! Think it was 91 or 92?

And I was a little north of y'all. I don't remember exact address, but I know it was just a couple/few blocks south of the 74th street ale house, and right where things flatten (walk east and go uphill, walk west and flat), but don't member where that would be, maybe 71st and ?

**Peruvian** · 11-28-2016, 10:04 AM

We lived on 62nd and 2nd.

This is weird.

Member when Maritime Pacific was the only brewery in Ballard?

...I suppose some of you remember the original Redhook location, but that's before my time. They moved to Phinney Ave in Fremont in 1989.

Yup, right by the 15th street bridge.

Remember when Ballard was quiet at night?

That prompted me to track down this old photo of my friends band playing at one of Maritime's private pig roast parties way back when. I think the band was called "Fedora" during this iteration.

Not ski related but thinking about Hermans also brings back memroids of Crazy Eddy, it's an east coast thing.

First pair of skis - purchased at Herman's (ca 1964): 190 cm Northland skis with lacquered bases, Ski Free cable bindings and a pair of boots made by Endicott Johnson.

I memba when the golf course in Van Cortland Park in the Bronx had three rope tows.

I memba $25 AYH trips from NYC to the Hostel in Rochester, VT (bus + lodging + 3 meals).

**galibier_numero_un** · 11-28-2016, 03:42 PM

I memba stopping off on the mountain road to Stowe (in the late '60's through early '80's), to increase my collection of Moriarty hats, and Ma Moriarty ringing up the sale.

And they should have. That Denny's had a fucking bar in it. It was like a local dive that served moons over my hammy.

I don't remember Oh No, Mr. Bill's but Archie McPhee's on Stone Way is the ultimate store for Stuff. Thought I heard it moved back to Stone Way after being way out on Market for years.
