A friend of ours, who'd recently broken his leg, streaked Bravino's on a saturday night while on crutches. He even made into the back dining room. That really lit the crowd up, as if we needed an excuse anyway?

I used to frequent Dog N' Suds frequently also. They were behind the Circle K on the SW corner of Stapley and Broadway, facing onto Stapley Dr.
too funny! my best friends family owned Bravino's and I may know the streaker you speak of!!! lol, I also worked there for a while in the kitchen and the sausage pizza, pizza in general was the best in AZ to me. Can you tell me of the mexican restaurant that shared a wall with Bravino's?? We used to trade food with their kitchen staff and we came up with a great green chile pizza too using their ingredients. Bravino's, "you've tried the rest, now try the best"!!!

A friend and I played one of those Pong consoles in about 74-75 maybe at a Mexican restaurant, lol in the bar of course, around 19th and Northern. They could always tell when we'd been there because the coin box was full. Chips and salsa, many pitchers of maggies and Pong...lots and lots of quarters! I was pretty good at Pong but have never been able to play any other video game. Those were the days!

I can't recall the mexican restaurants name probably because we always went downtown to Ortega's for their sour cream green chili enchiladas.

p.s. The streakers first name was John and I'll leave it at that!

I received a small book scanner as a gift and scanned a dealer page from 1958 for fun.

"They always call him Mr. Touchdown"

I can still hear that jingle. If I remember right didn't Aquanetta host a late night horror program.

I don't think so, but she was in a couple of Grade B horror films that showed up regularly on late night TV and "The World Beyond" on Saturday Morning KPHO.

That's a fun page; some old names I remember and a few I've never heard of. Didn't realize Jack Ross & Ev Mecham were already going in '58.
My earliest memory of going car shopping with my parents was when they bought a new '61 Chevy station wagon from Sands (in Glendale?)

Interesting that the Phoenix dealers were still downtown in '58. I wonder when they started migrating up to Camelback Road.
