During 1955-1957 I was a nerdy little Junior High student, in with 98% older kids on the campus. We had classes in the original arsenal Building.

I used to walk by the Aresnal Grille on my way down Arsenal Avenue to New York Street to catch the bus back home. I remember that there was an exhaust fan on the side of the building, exhausting the sweet odor of Coca Cola (as it was known then) and cigarette smoke. The place was always crowded after school

I was always kind of afraid to go in, due to my diminished class status. It seemed to me that the 1956 Jim Lowe song, "Green Door" was written about the Arsenal Grill!

The name of the drug store located at State and Michigan Sts. was Zinks Drugs; the owner lived on Middle Drive, Woodruff Pl., and his son may have graduated from Tech in 1949. In the same complex was a small Krogers Store and also a Barber Shop. Across the street was a meat market. In the 1940's there were no tamales sold, but great milk shakes at 15 cents.

This comment string gives a new meaning to "resurrection".
Thanks for the info.
