Ahhh that explains the Andy Wood graffiti

Amyone have memories of The Golden Lion restaurant in the Olympic hotel or Herfy's burger joints?

[jfcspaniels]

There was a restaurant out in Edmonds called Yesteryears that had a lot of old music boxes and old phonographs,etc.--also good menu & good food.... anyone remember--sure its probably still not there.

There are still some Herfy's Burgers around. I know of one in Bellevue, by Sears. I think there's also one in Ravenna.

Glad to see this thread is still alive and well.

There was a Herfy's up by Northgate for years. We use to sneak out of school at lunchtime (no easy feat for a closed campus) for a quick drive up to get milkshakes and fries with tartar sauce. It also a hang out place after high school and after football games. I understand an office building is there now.

Does anyone remember the old dance clubs and taverns in the 70's such as Pier 70 and Golden Tides? And Parker's Ballroom later the Aquarius Tavern. The Monastary when it was the BFD.
Live music at Golden Gardens in the summertime (and drag races after dark?). Lake Hills Roller Rink in Bellevue... we saw Miles Davis there in 1971. There use to be a dance club in the U District, but I can't remember the name, it had a colored light dance floor, maybe it was the District Tavern or it might have been the Rainbow Tavern. There was also a motel on the corner of 45th and the freeway that had a tavern with live music and dancing, can't remember the name of that one too. And one on Westlake on the water, near Horatio's, oh, yeah, Latitude 47. The Warehouse Tavern on Eastlake and the Eastlake Tavern where The City Zu use to play, I lived in an apartment a block away so I didn't have to worry about driving drunk. Doc Maynard's but I don't think they played music there... The Blue Banjo also in Pioneer Square. Boren Street Disco which was basically a Gay bar like Shelley's Leg, but we spent a lot of time there. Bananas Tavern in Fremont. Pipeline Tavern on Eastlake. Did anyone ever go to the Trolly Club? Victoria Station....

Did anyone go to Beth's Cafe after the bars closed for breakfast? The Deluxe Tavern on Capitol Hill had the best steaks and baked potatoes.. we use to go there after skiing or having seeing a movie at the Harvard Exit. There was a place over near Ballard, on Crown Hill, I think it was called either Goldies or Goofy's, had great hamburgers. And of course Dick's drive ins, which are still around.

Going back further...
In the 60's there were all city dances at the Seattle Center. And the Spanish Castle. Do you remember the Helix underground newspaper? One of its founders was Walt Crowley who attended the same high school that I did and graduated a few years ahead of me. He went on to create an online history website called HistoryLink... a great site to learn more about the history of Seattle.

Concerts at Eagle's Auditorium

Going back further...
Do you remember Playland in the 50's?

I moved to Seattle in '85 and most of those places were around then. And Doc Maynards had live music on Fridays and Saturdays at least in the 80s.

What about slightly before the 70s? Is anyone here old enough to have ridden on the Kalakala? We have a drawing of it and I just wonder if anyone can talk about what it was like? I believe she was retired in 1967 so probably not a ton of people remember?

Yes, I vaguely remember riding on the Kalakala a couple of times when I was a kid. The boat was found in Alaska and moved to Washington state in hopes of renovating it. It didn't happen and it was just sold to a new owner.

There is a great webpage with videos of old films of the ferry:

heh Seattle in the 70's and KJR Channel 95 blasting away on the radio ..

I liked that station much more than even KZOK or KISW
