There was an article written about it once but I don't remember the content. Everytime I would go by that place it looked creepy and uninhabited (although I think I recall a light being on in one of the rooms when I would go by at night). Usually very dark and ominous looking surrounded by woods and unkept property (at least appeared to be from the road). Great place for a haunting or horror movie.
And before the Spindletop there was a restaurant there called "The Windmill Inn". There is a reason dutch restaurants didn't catch on.
The big bands (like Benny Goodman Orchestra) used to play at the Meadowbrook (but that was before my time).
I do. My Dad says that the Meadowbrook was a hot spot for Big Band era performers during the 30s and 40s. In the 70s and 80s, it was a bar / club / disco.
I think they have to be within eyesight of a windmill, that's why they do well on mini golf courses.
Was on the left side heading into HP from the Albany St Bridge. The old joke was " I threw it out and Robert Hauled it in ". Couldn't prove it.
When Heritage was being built, late 70' s, you could walk out into the woods and pick your lot. Started at around $ 89,000 to $ 119,000, bought in WM instead, regular bi-level, cheaper too !
Rowe-Manse Emporium in Styretown/Clifton...I'm sure they just loved my brother/cousins and I constantly eating out of their flavored popcorn cases as 4-6 year-old kids in the early/ mid-80's. I can't remember where my Mom yelled at me more- there or Bradlee's.
