Seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang there with the family as a mere tyke. You be talkin' bout my stompin' grounds.

Lots of movies watched at the drive-in.

Max&Ed's on Ridge had great onion rings and beer battered fish. Pizza burgers from Park-Mor (Culver's is there now). My wife grew up right around there. Many trips to the DQ on Ridge with softball teams we coached before it was modernized.

I was also knee high to a grasshopper when my uncle would take me to Millikan sport shop downtown Ham Bone. That place was cool. Used to be all kind of mom and pop hunting/fishing stores. Highland sports was downtown for a short while which is now a wedding dress store. Hansen's had an indoor range at Ridge and Kleinman. Building is still there and vacant. Wonder if the range is still upstairs. Can't remember the name of the one on Chicago Ave. The owner's wife was killed during one robbery then the husband was also killed a few years later.

A HUGE menards is coming

Have you seen the schererville menards? The old Kmart is t nearly as big as most menards, it is however WAY bigger than the current GARifth store.

I'd wager the Kmart building will be tore down and replaced just as they did at the Hammond store.

Yes bit it appears the menards bought the ENTIRE plaza not just the Kmart building. Meaning bye bye everything on the lot.

Kmart <--> Menards

Same cheap crap, different name

 

[darkkevin]

R u sure about that zayers building?

The Cline Ave plaza had a Zayer then it became Venture then it became Kmart.

The other location (current griffith/Gary menards) had an Ultra foods and something else before it became menards.

Negative. Venture was where Kmart was most recently, Zayre was in the current menards building. It was ultra or whatever between zayre and menards.

Back when I was driving dump truck I remember bringing lots of loads of stone on that job site in Schererville.

Menards can go broke for all I care. I'll not set foot in one again.

No no.

Zaire was at the Cline location.
My grandpa would take me there BEFORE it became venture.


Venture sucked.

You could go to service merchandise if you didn't like Venture. Buy your stuff and then wait for it to come down the conveyor.

At the Superbowl party at the Legion today, the bar manager told me Jedi was a funny guy.

I agreed with her. Yup, he's a funny guy allright.

Grandma would take us there and never understood why they did that. Why we had to wait so long to get our stuff.

Plus their toy selection sucked. It was a store for grownups. But hey at least they had no cloths so we would not be in there for hours unlike the malls.
