Lum's on Imperial Drive. Hot dogs cooked in beer. Clam strips. Red and White Building.

Maybe not on Imperial Drive. Jordan Lane, Patton Road. Pick a name.

Anyone remember 'Albert Pick Motel' on North Pky? How about the original round 'Hardees Restuarant' located in the same parking lot as 'Hornbuckles Records', 'Longs Electronics' and 'Robins Music'. How about 'Trailor Island'? Does anyone remember the 'Tiger Terrel Show', 'Johnny Evans' or 'The Benny Carl Show'? And how 'bout when Benny Carl, sponsored by 'Sinclair Gas' (Sinlair had their station in the front of the parking lot of Haysland Square and later changes to USA gas with the HUGE American flag) had a live broadcast from the 'Haysland Square Shopping Center' on South Parkway, when they were giving out little dinosaurs to all the kids? They made the toys right there on the spot pouring molten plastic in the molds, cooling them, pulling them out and handing them out. This should tell you how long ago I was there, when we moved to Huntsville, we came by plane and landed at the Old Huntsville Airport at Airport Road and the Parkway.
That ought to pick a few brains, have fun!

Don't get me started with Joe Rumore and that damnable War Eagle (Golden Eagle Syrup) Syrup out of Birmingham on the radio or Country Boy Eddie.

OMG I remember all of this. We used to go to Tiger Terrel and The Bennie Carl show. Everyone made a huge deal out of the "biggest" American flag they had ever seen. My dad worked on Traylor Island! I guess this tells you how long ago I lived in Huntsville

Myrna Copeland who ran the Pearly Gates health food store for nearly 40 years passed away in December. The place is currently closed for "reorganization." I have been told Ms. Copeland's daughter is selling the place, but haven't been able to confirm. Anybody else have any info?

I do remember the Mall having a "Hickory Farms" store. We would go there on the weekend and buy "Whiskey Sour" hard candy.
