Well I hate to admit it but (since Im not the only one) I have been there once as well. I was pretty grossed out by it. I was so young and the older women I went with were so into it! YIKES! The drinks were strong. I remember that part.
ANYWAYS, anytime Im walking in Central Market, I just laugh at how seedy that whole corner was and now its this fancy schmancy Central Market. I do tend to get a lot of flashbacks to when it was Confetti and dancing to Depeche Mode and Wham while I am shopping for some yummy treats there. |

Do you remember when the late Harvey Martin and Too Tall Jones used to visit Confetti with their entourage of ladies?

No, I never lived there but I had friends that lived in the Corners. That was always so confusing to me down there. |

My god i've had fun with this thread and I've gotten nothing done at work today! It has brought back so many memories from my youth. I grew up in Irving and lived there until I joined the Air Force back in 1984.
So many things brought up! Medallion Center...I remember going there to eat at Zuider Zee and going to the Medallion Store. Mom would always buy me a comic book when we went there. When I got older and was in High School - Bishop Dunne (yes, drove from Irving every day to Dallas to go to school), there was a club in Medallion Center called Cardi's ("Party Hardy at Cadri's" they would say on the Zew) that I used to haunt, especially when "Rocky Athas and Lightning" played there. Any of you guys remember that place or that band?

YES! I remember that place. It was called Captain's Cargo. It right across the street from Sterling. It was like a real fancy Pier 1. My mom used to like to go there. I liked going with her when I was a kid because I would pretend I was a pirate when I was in there. Wow, I hadn't thought about that place in years.

I remember that place well also. The Black Forest Bakery was across the street and getting a cake there was a real treat.
