Hi there - just now noticed the posts about the Viola's recipe. My hubby and I have been trying to replicate it ever since we moved south! Would you mind sending it to me at reader154@yahoo.com? Thanks so much!

I remember the Nagurney twins - they lived across the street from us on 93rd Street, on the Cayuga drive side of the Creek. I think they had a brother named Paul didn't they?

I have noticed that there are a few Wheatfield graduates posting on here: if you would like an additional trip down memory lane, Niagara Wheatfield Senior High is having a PUBLIC Open House this Saturday (October 4th)in honor of the 50th Anniversary Celebration! The building will be open to the public at 11:00 a.m., so stop in to reminisce/bring back memories and also view the newest additions/updates at the high school! At some point various legislators (including Bill Ross)will be attending a dedictation ceremony (I believe it is at 1:00) for the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is also Niagara Wheatfield's Homecoming Weekend! Hope some of you can make it!

I always remember the big blue whale carwash from when i was a kid ( Military rd in the town of niag) Me and my sister used to laugh hysterically going into the whales bottom then out its mouth reverse digestion I came acrossed this site while browsing the web Im still out in the area and my parents are still in the town of niagara so could prob help some of you guys out with current questions if needed

Viola’s, Mariposa’s or Peg’s can never really be duplicated 100% outside the area; that is because the bread is not easily found. But here is the general sub –

Start with Rib-eye loin and have the butcher slice the meat about 1/8 inch no more then 3/16. Fry in thin film of oil (Gem) is best, but if you don’t have “Gem” good vegetable oil with 10% olive oil will make up the “Gem” formula. Flip meat once and lay on some American White Cheese, cover with pan top until melted and then slip on your bun with your favorite toppings (Tomatoes, Onion, peppers, olives and lettuce). Then dress with salad dressing; their house dressing consisted of oil (Gem) and seasoning which we determined was oregano, thyme, basil and a few red pepper flakes mixed in the oil to give it some flavor. Salt & pepper was separate. I am sure someone else can give the exact recipe but this is what I can remember. Good luck finding light crusted bread with a center that can absorb the juices from the toppings and dressing.

oh my..i used to hang out with the nagurney twins,and yes, they had a brother named paul..and an older sister named andrea. (we called her andy.)

Any news on them ? I think one of them went on to become a psychologist.

DeCammillo's bakery has a web site and will ship their products anywhere...their sub roll would be the perfect fit !!

Haha...my brothers and sister and I did the same thing, we thought it was hilarious!

Another one bites the dust! Over this past weekend, The Carpet Mill Outlet was demolished. Better known to us old-timers as the former site of Woody's Attic Head Shop. Before that it was Schoonover's Enterprise Home Repair.

Looks like Carpet Mill is continuing on in the rear building, but it's sad to see another old Town of Niagara building bite the dust!

Stenz, best I have come up with on the Blue Whale is a 1978 aerial survey photo, but the Blue Whale is just a lil dot on that one. Not what you're looking for!

The aerial map is awesomely cool though.

Here's some trivia...

K-Mart has been on Military near 6-corners for so long it's hard to believe anything else was ever at that location...but there was!

Anyone care to take a swing at what used to be on the site of K-Mart, circa early 60s?

Read the above carefully and you'll find a clue!

I recall a house made with stone.I THINK there was a barn behind the home.They had horses and held rodeos,Eventually the barn became a theater for live acts.Can't recall the name. Do you remember when the SPCA was on Porter RD? How about Pages when they had the pony rides? Bagbes gas station? Niagara #4 school on Military?
