In the early to mid eighties the Sole parking lot would have a huge block party. Every kid in the area would ride their bike over too watch the bands play. They had games for the kids. Tech pizza playing Pac-Man. Day\Night store where store 24 in now they had about 10 video games in the game room. Penny candy at the 5 and dime every morning before school. What about the West street spa for an ice cream or frappe? Long lines at Acapulco until wee hours in the morning.

Highland Street from Newton Square to Lincoln Square.
A walk down memory lane starting at Newton Square the building of tennis courts at Newton Square probably in late 1950's. Remember Newton Hill without a High school, was a small pond at that location, tailor shop at Sever st., Berkshire st to Fruit st strip of stores Theo's lunch, bakery, Jay's 5 &10, A & P, dress shop. Corner of Fruit had Tech Pharmacy, old wooden church. A store or two which I can't picture now, then Boynton package store and tavern at corner of Ormond st, barber shop and cobbler before getting to North Ashland st, Friendlies wasn't there in the mid 1950's. Salisbury mansion at corner of Lancaster st, school for the blind at corner of Harvard st along with Little theater, auditorium and court house.

Remember it being built on Highland street with the ability to sit down with the family (more than a diner) also had the "awful-aful" about 35 cents. Had a great burger also. Half the place was diner style with counter and stools other half more for a family with booths and tables.
