the head shop was the record store. It was on the south end near the jewish bakery/deli.  I worked there part time. Recently I posted that was where I ran into Suzy the last time I saw her.

I was on the program from april 76 thru may 77. I stayed in ft. lauderdale for another year or so after graduating and attended broward community college. I was terrified to move back to georgia and face my old friends. Lived with graduates but none of us ever went back to the seed for meetings.

While on the program I lived in the apts. run by nick & his wife. That rang a bell. And the ferrets! Hell, I lived in that apt. too for awhile. Those things were vicious and bit me several times.  I remember George  & Jack too.  Yeah, I'm from close to albany. My daughter and son-in-law live there now.  I heard that a former staff member moved to albany around the time you visited.  I had some limited contact with a few of the seedlings there in the late 70's & remained friends with a couple of other guys from my program until the mid 80's.  My oldcomer even moved to ga. & lived with me and my parents for a few months when I first moved back home..before moving on to n.y.

 I remember John U. always ribbing us about georgia. 'Eveything north of commercial blvd. is ga. to me.' 'The best part about albany...is the by-pass.' Funny how some things stick in memory. I used to go back and visit friends in ft. lauderdale every few years. My wife & I spent our honeymoon there.

Marshall- do you remember when about a dozen of us took scuba lessons?  I don't think you took them.  One of the guys I remember him telling me that he was going to become a professional diver & meet up with his Dad that he had not been in contact with in years(I can't remember the complete story but he lived in the Virgin Islands) I remember telling him maybe he should think about a more stable job.  About a year or two later, I remember reading in Sports Illustrated that he & his Dad found millions of dollars in sunken treasure(I stopped giving that sort of advice ever since) .

Greg was the record store you worked in, in Lakes Mall or Lauderhill Mall?  Lakes (which is no longer there)  :grin: [ This Message was edited by: Ft. Lauderdale on 2005-01-13 06:25 ]

Marshall, did you work at Mother Butler Pies?
Thats no longer there either :cry2:

[GregFL]

Then where was lauderhill mall. Damn my oldtimers is acting up?

It might have been lakes mall. The amll was on 441 next to Hawaiin Gardens Condos and right near the apartment  building Cranbrook.

I really can't remember where lauderhill mall was, but now Lakes mall is coming into focus.

[Ft. Lauderdale]

Greg:
Hawaiian Gardens is on Oakland Park Blvd.
OK Oakland Park Blvd= 30th Street.  Cranbrook was on 19th Street and Lauderhill Mall was between around 12 and 16th Streets (if that puts it in perspective any better)

[Ft. Lauderdale]

Boyd Anderson was also north of Oakland Park Blvd and Lakes Mall was North of Oakland Park Blvd too.

ah hell, it was one of those malls!

No, F.L., I don't recall the scuba lessons. Since I was 17 when I first started the program I lived with foster families until after I turned 18. So it may have been before I lived at the apts. And no, didn't work at mother butler's. I remember several seedlings worked there though. I did work at Bagel Nosh for a few months. I remember the general atmosphere at the guy's apartments was much different than any of the foster families that I stayed with. It was much looser or easy going. For example, we commonly 'rocked-out' and listened to any music that we wanted to with no criticism....even around newcomers. Lakes mall had several theaters, right?

[Ft. Lauderdale]

Yep- 6 movies at the time that was a big deal "Lakes 6" Other GA guys worked at Bagel Nosh back then too right?  Thats no longer there either
actually you could probably only find soul food around there now. Oh my God didn't Rick B. work there ? I was really close with him and his brother Roddy. Or maybe Grant worked there? This is funny I haven't thought of all these people in years.  As a matter of fact at this time period I have some really fond memories of people.  Lets see I probably was about 23 or so.   :smile:

[GregFL]

Lakes Mall it was!  The theatre was halfway down, and Bagel Nosh was next to the record store I worked at.  Cranbrook is where my incident occured with Art while he was frolicking in the pool with the teenage staff members, all in their bikinis.

What a pimp he was!

 :grin:

[GregFL]

Now that this is settled, what is now where Lakes mall used to be?

[Ft. Lauderdale]

Just for the record - they all were in at least their 20's and higher.

There is now a sports authority and I think an office supply store.  They also just built townhomes and condos on top of some retail stores.  It isn't quite finished yet.  

But Bagel nosh was on 23 or 24th Street (sorry not in the mall)

[GregFL]

Okay, but there was this little jewish restaraunt next door to the record store that sold meat and potatoe kinishes, deli sandwiches, hebrew national hot dogs and other goodies.

20s eh?  STILL A PIMP.

 :grin:

Sorry but I don't remember the Deli I remember the candy poporn store next to the movies.  Years later like in 1983 or so I was in the record store with Susie C. & some guy asked me if I was who I was & he didn't recognize me but he said I had the same voice that  I always did.  He was a kid on the program years before.  He didn't throw anything at me. :grin:
