Is Mary Coyles the one that was in where the Hamburger place is across from Phoenix College? Weren't they pushed out of there for some political reason?

I never made it to a Long Wongs, I think there was one near Scottsdale Rd and Thomas. Wasn't their logo a guy holding a R/C controller of something like that? I kind of remember a controversy over their them about their sign in Scottsdale, but then again Scottsdale loves controversy.

YES! That is exactly it. I had totally forgotten about that. How dumb! My hubby used to live right across the street from there, behind McGurkee's sandwich shop. (Man! I miss that place too!)

I love Long Wongs Hot Wings. Although the original Tempe one is gone there are franchises that must abide by the original recipe. We used to go to the one at 36th street and Indian School that was a bar but a few years back the owner sold it and now it is a really crappy bar with crappier wings. We now usually go over to the one on East Thomas Road.

DLandFansAz I think your right it was political of why Mary Coyles had to move.

I am glad to find out I was not the only one to Farell's saying that it was our birthday for the free sundae.

News Channel 3 has the submobile in their parking lot right now. Dan Davis did an interview with the pilot and Nemo. The submobile will be at Big Surf tomorrow and at the Phoenix Zoo on Thursday.

Man I wish I wasn't so busy this week, I would love to make it to see the Submobile. Is anyone going, and if so which place and time?

Please add me as well! Cindersgirl - Mesa

I was raised in North Tempe, and remember having to travel by school bus across the Salt on the Mill Ave. Bridge both years we had the bad floods. Yes, I miss Farrell's (sp?), and yes, I did win a Ladmo bag - a lunch sized one in the 1970's.

I was there as part of the Girl Scouts, my mom was the leader. My sister was there, as well, and I had wanted to switch seats with her. She wouldn't, so I just sat quietly and enjoyed the show anyway. Then, I was selected as the lucky seat winner! Boy was I in shock! And yes, my mother made me share the contents with my sister. I don't remember everything that was in there, mostly junk food and a small toy or two. I know we saved the bag, I can't remember right now where it is exactly. I now have the DVD that's out about them.

Thanks!

My sister in law was a Blue Bird and she also won a Ladmo bag.

Contents:

One Ladmo Waffle (like a funnel cake but packaged with Ladmo's hat on the wrapper)

Twinkies

Cupcakes

Gift Certificates to Baskin Robbins and Lionel Play World (pre ToysRUs)

Candy

Licorice Whips


If you really loved that show they have a Wallace and Ladmo greatest hits DVD for sale!!

Well I was told to come over here after my sub report and so I shall.

You know how we do in the 602!
Pho-town!
Wow, I have issues.

Spectrum= Christown
Wallace & Ladmo= Awesome-ness (Ho Ho Ha Ha He He Ha Ha)
U.S. Airways Stadium= America West Arena
Chase Field= Bank One Ball Park

Also, my dad use to work at Legend City and the original Cine Capri
Totally saw the last movie they ever played there (Titanic!)

All right, I'm done now!

[Darkwing Chuck]

Count me in too, I also am a Phoenician. Kuzcochik and I are both former Metrocenter Disney Store CMs and helped close that store. At the time, it was sadder than sad, but being by there recently I'm kind of glad we left, otherwise we would have stabbed numerous times by now.

But I feel that whenever I need my old-school Metrocenter fix, I just pop in my Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure DVD! Also featuring Alhambra High School, Waterworld (I think... maybe Big Surf) and what I think is a Farrell's ice cream parlor.

Actually Bill and Ted's was filmed at Coronado High School in 1987. I was a senior there when it was filmed. We also had a Disney film made there the same year, but I doubt anyone remembers it. That TV film was Not Quite Human with Alan Thicke.
