I'll ask my friend when I see them. Cause I know they have pizza dough. I'll see what I can do and let you know.

Thank you so much!

You're welcome.... I know if I move I'd miss the pizza and wings from the buffalo area, along with Dicamillos, beef on weck, fish frys that you can't find anywhere else.

LOVE DiCamillo's!
Anyone remember:
Delores Bridal Shoppe on 3rd?
Impson's Drugstore on Buffalo Ave, next to the liquor store and Dr. Zimmer's dentist office?
Pacific Avenue Elemnetary school?
When the houses on 66th street area were knocked down for the expressway?
The ice cream counter at Wendt's Dairy?
Vitullo Trucking?

I use to get my rainbow sherbert at wendts ~ remember B-Kwiks, telephones on all the tables at the Bakery Lounge. Is Weber oil company still there? I was sad to see Cayuga Drive Elementary gone, anyone have any pictures?

Delores Bridal Shop - sure, between Ferry Ave and Main Street on 3rd. Niagara Mohawk building nearby and the New York Telephone business office too. McClure's Drug store was also nearby on the corner of 3rd & Ferry. Guarino's Horseshoe Restaurant, Johnson's Liquor store too. It was a busy little block back in the 50's and 60's.

The dough would be kind of hard to ship - it does freeze well for a short time. If you freeze it, and pack well with ice packs and styrofoam for insulation and ship overnight, it may work. You just don't want it to rise during shipping... Could get messy!

I grew up in this area, Dr Zimmer was my childhood dentist! What was the name of the resturant that took over Pacific Ave. School? I went there a few times, it was so strange to be in the schol having a beer!

Yeah probably would be kind of messy and maybe not worth the cost. But I checked and they do have the dough. All I can say is call and see what they do about shipping.

Wow, lots of memories in the last few posts here!

I remember Wendt’s dairy and the soda counter where you could get sodas and sundaes. Wendt’s is still there and operating, but the counter is long gone.

I went to Cayuga Drive Elementary for 1st and 2nd grade (Miss Voelker and Mrs. Keller, the mayor’s wife). Our class was in the basement next to the boiler room. I went to 93rd Street when it opened until 7th when I went to La Salle Junior. Like Cayuga Drive, 93rd is gone, mostly because the ground it was built on is radioactive! La Salle Junior is still there and still in use, with a different name than “Junior High”. If you went there as a kid, a walk down the halls there will give you a memory torrent like nothing else- it’s EXACTLY as it was 50 years ago. It even smells the same. The only change I noticed was that the clocks that used to make 2 clicks every minute and the hand would jump to the next minute are gone. About 10 years ago I was there for a band concert my sons were in and commented about the clocks being gone; the janitor had saved a few and gave me 2 of them. I built a circuit that made one of them work again and it hangs in my living room now, keeping accurate time.


I used to deliver drugs for Imson’s drug store, and I remember when what had been Pacific Ave school burned down- someone was trying to make a restaurant of the building by reducing its size, but the whole deal burned to the ground one damp, rainy night.

I used to play baseball on the open grass along 64th street between Buffalo Ave and what was Pine Ave that was there before the expressway was built.

My high school senior pictures were taken at the Varden Studio. The building is still there, back-to-back with a Burger King on Main Street. It’s not a photographer’s studio any longer.

My daughter and her future husband both worked at DiCamillo's during summers when they were home from college. They're married now and have 2 kids.

Who remembers the glass floors in the old library on Main Street; Barnhardt’s gas station on Buffalo Ave; McFarland Hardware and Goetzman Hardware, maybe a mile apart; the La Salle Children’s Field Day on Cayuga Island every summer; Rob Lun Lumber on Cayuga Drive..

I remember the glass floors at the downtown library, though I mostly went to the LaSalle Library, since we lived in LaSalle until I was in 10th grade. At least the roof didn't leak there.

Speaking of drug stores, anybody remember Strand Drugs in the South End? My cousin Joanie was married to Dr. Mangen, whose family owned Strand Drugs.

Boy Sherman, I probably stared at that very clock, waiting for class to be over. In the summer of '06, when I was back there, my wife and I took a walk around the school and peeked in the windows, and it looked pretty much the same to me. It's been over 50 years since I've been in there.

I remember Goetzman's and McFarland's Hardware well. Goetzman's sold Scottatwater outboard motors and I beleive that McFarlands sold Johnson's. I remember buying some outboard motor parts in the basement of McFarland's.

The LaSalle Children's Field Day was in June, usually around my father's birthday. It seems like they used to give you some tickets for it at the end of the school year. There was always a parade too.

I went to Cayuga Drive too and to 93rd Street for sixth grade when it first opened. I have a brick from Cayuga Drive sitting about three feet away from me as I type this, all the way out here in California.

My very first job was as a clerk at McFarland's for $1.00 an hour (1957). I learned an immense amount about bolts, screws, threading pipe, cutting glass, the different specialty tools ("bastard" files sort of raised my eyebrows), all that stuff. There was a man named Walt Griffon who worked in their basement on the Johnson outboards (my Dad bought one there that's still in use somewhere), and Whizzer motorbikes, but that was before I got there. A man named Howard Fountain still populated the downstairs shop when I worked there, and Carlton Friend and a lady named Jerry sold appliances in half the store.
