Our Old Stomping Grounds. It doesn't look like they got around to removing that telephone pole; Must not have been in the budget.

Brings back old memories... doesn't it?

I remember going to Dunn's Bakery after school for a slice of their delicious pizza. In the old days, they would run out of pizza quite often so you had to get there early if you wanted any. For old times sake, I decided to drop in and get a slice of pizza. Guess what? They were all out! Some things never change!

When I was in High School, this convenience store was named the "Busy Bee".  Every chance I got, I would stop in and buy a soda and some candy bars -- which turned out not to be a good thing for a wrestler trying to make weight. Now, it's a KwikFill.

A Saturday night was just not complete unless you drove through the parking lot of "Mickey D's" to see who was there and what was going on. Many weekend nights would be spent orbiting the restaurant like celestial bodies revolving around the sun.

Located across from Clark Park, the "Colonial Pharmacy" used to be where Eckerd's is now. There also used to be a grocery store named "Foodland" where the Dollar General Store is. When Foodland got their first arcade game, Mike DiGiorgio could often be found there playing "Dragon's Lair". After much perseverance (and a couple hundred dollars), he was actually able to master the game.

Who can forget spending those long, hot Summer days at the Canastota Municipal Pool? (In his youth, Andy Cesarini could be seen sauntering around the pool like he owned the place.)

Yep, Pepi's Pizza LIVES. They're still in business and the pizza is still pretty good. And they still have all of the arcade games from the early 80's -- except that two-thirds of them are "out of order".

The scene of numerous social debacles. Many a reputation was won and lost in this establishment. Enough said!
