WOW JT, a blast from the past!!! Was there many times. Thanks for the memories!
I lived a block away and went there often. Their Surf 'n Turf was great and they had good Shrimp Cocktails.
Great pic! Was always awesome when mom mom great would treat everyone to a late Sunday lunch there!!!
The best there ever was in Salisbury!
Great photo!
Now look at the bury,thank a thug.
Jon Dize, if you lived a block away you lived in the hood.
Jon, not in those days!
LOL Shrimp Cocktail. I remember when that was THE appetizer extraordinaire. It's not even on menu's anymore. Tomato juice used to also be big as an appetizer. The NY Public Library has a collection of old restaurant menus so if anyone has one from Johnny and Sammy's or anywhere else for that matter and doesn't want it anymore the library would be grateful to have it. They have an online exhibit of them if anyone is interested.
I saw Big Al Downing there before he was famous.

I saw Frank Perdue in there after he was famous.
The lounge entertainers, Maude and Earl Robinson, played at my wedding.
Wish I had the recipe for the Alpine. Room's clam chowder ...it was soooo good!
8:44-Was that the night he got plastered and sang with Maude and Earl?
Now it's a wawa. How times have changed .
Is this where boys would gather to throw knives at the feet and burn arm with cigarette contest?
That is awesome!
I lived dead center of Center Street (205). It was not horrible in those days.
That was 1964 thru 1970. At 1972 I moved to Las Vegas a medical emergency brought us back in 1973 in which I spent the next four years working for and being trained by Walter Thurston, then in 1977 I moved back to Vegas.
Still here!
Where my house was on Center Street is now part of the hospital parking lot.
I used to shoot for Frank Sr., I spent some time with him.
The 30" x 40" print, framed to 40x60 that I shot of Frank's 18 wheelers when he got his new backlit PERDUE airfoils that were on the cab of all his trucks... hung on his wall in the Zion Road office for a long time.
I did some painting with light to make that photo work so the backlit airfoils would shine bright in the dark, yet the trucks would all be lit, which I had to light each one individually. I think there were six or 10 tractor/trailers staggered in a row. Been a long time. I HAD HAIR THEN!
Frank was always nice to me.

12:56 Try Beach to Bay, Princess Anne clam chowder. It is the Best!

That was the hood. Any place north of Hazel Ave. and east of Camden Ave. was the hood.
My rehearsal dinner was held in the alpine room. Sadly our town is gone but we have the memories.
No, it wasn't back then. He is talking 40 years ago. It actually stayed pretty decent all the way through the 80s.
No, it was the hood in 1950. It just got even worse across Rt.13.
12:17-My guess is that you got beat up a lot.
No, would just ride over there to show the kids how you would end up if you didn't do well in school. Of course it wasn't as bad as the other side of the river.

It appears you derive some pleasure out of posting this repeatedly.
Hey! Whatever you NEED. I've visited "HOODS" all over America, 47 of 50 states and Center Street in the '70s did not look like any of the "HOODS" I have visited, from Compton, to El Paso, to Detroit, to Memphis, to Baltimore's BLOCK. None of them resemble Center Street in Salisbury, but calling the area The Hood seems to excite you, so... ENJOY!
