I was thinking the Flashback opened 9 or 10 years ago, good food, not usually a long wait, nice atmosphere.


Here's a quote from Ronald Reagan
"If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."

You are correct Toast is on the corner of 13/Meridian.  She has been trying to sell it but she is asking 250K.  Not any takers.

My Dad worked downtown in the early 60's and we would meet him for lunch at the Toast once in a while . I think at one time there was a Mobile Oil gas station on the NE corner of 13th and Main that was owned by a guy named Gary .

kpaul you have got to be thrilled with all the post on this thread today . Isn't this just one of the things AFP is all about ?

I remember Arts on Broadway at the southeast corner, the VP on the southwest corner, the dairy queen at the northwest corner & that nice house on the northest corner. 

*just a note... rumor is that Frischs is moving to the south end of town within the next 3months....

Will they keep the Broadway location open ?  Do you know if they are moving into an existing building ?

I have heard that rumor also, I think they are making a big mistake, but what do I know?

As far as Flash Back I will say they wall hangings are nice but do not want to do a review on them.  Enough said on that subject.

Do you remember all the little grocery stores?  Maiers Market at Nichol & Arrow along with Roselyn bakery on the opposite corner.  Hoosier Market at 38th & Main.  All the shops in the Edgewood Shopping Center, Guarnatee Auto, Standards Supermarket, Dugar's Beauty Shop, Citizens Bank, some type of Hallmark store, Hooks Drugs, Woolworths, Grants and a couple of shoe stores and Citizens Bank.  I grew up on west side of Anderson.  The library branch was where the Village Corner beauty shop is now by LoBills on Nichol.  There used to be a Putt-Putt there also. We used to walk to the Confectionary on Arrow Avenue and then hit up Lemon's Market and the Pepsi plant on 18th street before us kids in the neighborhood got into trouble for straying too far from home.  Another favorite place was the woods on Raible by the post office too.

The more I think about it the more I'm convinced that you're right. about the service station (if any kids out there are scratching their heads and wondering what a 'service station' is,' ask your parents. They might remember). 

I seem to remember the tall sign on the corner with the Flying Red Horse on it.

Wasn't there a little upholstery shop behind the service station facing Central? Don's Seat Covers, or something like that?
