Am I right about the balloons on sticks?

I don't recall balloons on sticks but it wouldn't surprise me if it were true.

You're definitely right about the sign out front. It was a cartoony depiction of a soldier.

I tried to find some pictures on the web but there are too many other "Next Door" restaurants out there.

Anyone remember the Rubyait (SP) club on McKinney? They featured folk music in the early 70's. I saw BW Stevenson there.

Reading this forum has been great fun and brought back SO many memories, my thanks to all.
Remember when the were pretty girls selling balloons at North Park? One of my best friends in high school dated a "balloon girl". We were all so envious, like he was dating a celebrity!

Back to an earlier thread about LLOVE entertainment center at Love Field. I worked there in the Rainbow Room from 1975 to 76 and have a few photos if anyone would like to see them.

I remember those balloons at northpark. It was like hitting the jackpot if your parents decided to buy you one when at the mall. I remember those balloons being fancy too, a colored balloon inside of a clear balloon. Im thinking they were in the shape of mickey mouse, but I could be wrong.

I also remember playing on those HUGE planters by Neimans. Its funny because now those planters dont seem so big!

I would love to see those pics from the rainbow room too! I was too young to go in there when LLOVE was open.

Cool! I didn't even know that you could post photo albums on this site.

Sure were a lot of mustaches in those days.
