What ever happened to...

No Stan, I was a Lou's barber shop guy myself...Nothing like a flat top with a fresh stick of Butch Wax....If there weren't any adults around, he'd let you look at the Playboys.....

I'm not sure why, but I'm somewhat troubled by Suzanne's inquiry about a barber shop....[I think we need further explanation of her barbershop memories

That's kind of sounds like MJ's Jesus Juice!

I got my haircut at a bunch of different places. But I started at Clifton Barber, with Marge and Andy, and until the Reagle Beagle, I stayed with Clifton Barber.

Jeff,

You should be disturbed because for my entire childhood my mother would take me to Oscar's on the last day of school, have my hair cut into the dreaded "pixie" cut and then promptly apply the very fashionable "Toni" home perm. Yes, I was certainly a site but take heart, my hair was never in my eyes, an important health benefit because we all know how leathal "hair in the eyes" can be. Right up there with having your face freeze in that expression.

I love my mother anyway.

As I was putting on my Berkies, I remembered another great Detroit Ave. institution...

Bill Jones Leather and those wonderful custom made sandals. After 15 years of dailey summer use, and a few repairs, they finally met their match in a Yellow Lab named Molson.

Wish I had both of them back.

Walker's Shoes. Mr. Walker measured me for school shoes every fall. I'm not sure I've had a pair of shoes fit properly since.

Jeff and Suzanne--- That block must have been the "shoe store block" because there was Lakewood Juvenile Shoes. That store was just fine when I was a kid and I (and my Mom who took me down there) was oblivious to any kind of fashion.
Julius -the owner-kind of missed the whole Brittish Invasion thing with the boots and all.

Jim,

Thanks for mentioning Crazy Kenny, I sometimes think I still see him meandering down Detroit.

And how about the sub shop on Carabel off Madison?
