70’s and 80’s Wichita

Albert's and Mars Garden.

Good friend of mine is family of the founders and owners of both. Chinese made fresh when you order it beats buffets, but buffets have eliminated the made-to-order Chinese restaurants.

Missing ALBERT'S greatly, ate there constantly!

Can’t recall, I only had their burgers…

Even as a kid, I was all in on deep fried meat. Still love me a good Chicken Fry.

Sandy's at Douglas and Grove was the turn around on the east with the turn around less defined on the west end. Talk about of time of innocence. Didn;t have to worry about someone with a gun ending in violence and just a few fist fights from time to time. Sometimes had to to be wary of the Orchard boys but they tended to stay west of west street. I would not trade any era to grow up in for any since even with the new technology and cool things now. Officer Paulie (WPD) worked security at the North high Sandy's. Kept the traffic moving but he would bust your chops from time to tim. Made me pick up the sunflower hulls I spit out of the parked car in the parking lot.

Was it Sandy's that had the Pork Fritter Sandwiches?

They had the fast served grilled cheese sandwiches. As a little kid, they were it for me.

I was never a Douglas knuckle dragger, but knew many who were.

And south Seneca before it turned into a Hardee's.

I'm too young to remember Sandy's but I know the one on N. Main in Hutch also became a Hardee's.

Coney Island, precursor to Shhhhhpngles.

...many years before I grew up and realized that it was best not to do business with the Shhhteven clan.

Carol's carryout and Sharky's Arcade in Park City.

The Dodge dealer on way south Broadway. Hard to believe today that there once was a new car dealership down there.

Furr's cafeterias. Being a kid those huge pick what you wanted setups were like living in a dream.
