Noreply, was there a bar called The Wooden Shoe on East Main in the 60's to early 70's?

I thought so. I remember seeing the outside sign riding my bicycle on the sidewalk going by there when I was a young-un. Sure was some loud yelling going on in there that day, the front door was open on a hot summer day, remember that very well. :shock:

I couldn't have been but 6 or 7 years old at the time. My Aunt was riding her bike with me. Remember smelling the cigarette smoke just a rolling out of there. :lol: :lol: Always was scared of that place from remembering the yelling till I got a little older to understand, but I never rode my bike on that side of the street again when we rode our bikes down on that end of town. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Use to be the Wooden shoe in the 60's and 70's. Don't know about the 80's. Think it was the 90's when the building got tore down. See the previous page. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't know the name of the bar across from Tansky's.

I just remember the bar Tally-Ho in town.

I loved the Hide-Away. Remember one night when Big Daddy Stewart was drunk and pulled the whole bar over.

Seems like the bar across from Tansky's had an inn name attached to it.Wasn't the Wooden Shoe up by Spring St. somewhere in the area of the Utopia.Big D will know where it was at,I will ask him next time I see him,he might even know the name of that other bar.

Beside Tansky's was the Stagecoach Inn which is a Dr. office now.
