pamMemberI remember when the WS Nursery building was a Herfy’s and I thought then it was a pizza place and maybe an auto parts store. We were talking tonight about when KFC was where Starbucks is and when Shakey’s was at Taco Time. A little WS nostalgia on a rainy night……

Genesee HillParticipantHow about the Datsun dealer on Delridge?
January 30, 2011 at 2:55 am #715614
rdmParticipantI thought the Herfy was at the Jack in the Box and the nursery was a Arbys. What about Grouchos, had great burgers and awesome shakes

PSPSParticipantWasn’t the Jack in the Box on Admiral a Herfy’s back in the Pizza Haven days? Pizza Haven was a kitchen-only-delivery place across the street. And wasn’t it Groucho’s that was where Starbucks is now at Avalon & Fauntleroy? And don’t forget the old Rocket gas station where the printer/dentist/tanning/cleaners is at 35th and Fauntleroy.

pamMemberJack in the box was Herfy’s also. I’m 95% sure it was a Herfy’s in the 70’s.
Ooooooooh….I bet it was an Arby’s after it was a Herfy’s. I remember a big fireplace in the middle which seems to be a signature of some Arbys.

BonnieParticipantYes, Jack in the Box was a Herfy’s and Met. Market was a Lucky before it was Thriftway/Met Market. I remember when Petco was a grocery store. I can’t remember the name though. It had initials I think. I remember going to Websters for dinner and also New Luck Toy. I remember when Godfathers was in the junction (never went there though) and Shakey’s and Groucho’s. I sometimes wish Taco Time was still on the beach where Tully’s was and I would occasionally shop at the grocery store where Cactus is now.

January 30, 2011 at 5:53 am #715619
clark5080ParticipantPetco was originally an A&P then something else
January 30, 2011 at 5:59 am #715620
miwsParticipantThe last incarnation of grocery store in the Petco spot, was Tradewell.
Same for the (old) Morgan Junction Thriftway.

celeste17ParticipantThe A&P became Tradewell.
January 30, 2011 at 6:36 am #715622
bebecatMemberAnd remember Nifty’s on Harbor Island and the Climax Tavern on this side of the bridge? The Skylark was the Delridge Tavern and the strip of stores was Bauman’s Texaco gas station.
January 30, 2011 at 7:09 am #715623
JanSParticipantand…how about The Embers..next to the Alki Tav…..I remember watching the Sonics win the championship there in 1979…
January 30, 2011 at 7:16 am #715624
bebecatMemberOh yes the Embers…live music and lots of cigarette smoke…:) Loved it!!!
January 30, 2011 at 1:53 pm #715625
miwsParticipantAlso on Harbor Island; A Sea-First Bank, east of Nifty, and a Fire Station (yes, even with the still existing one at the west side of the Duwamish) on the south side of Spokane St.

TDeParticipantAnyone recall there being a Denny’s on California Ave SW?
January 30, 2011 at 4:03 pm #715627
GinaParticipantJack in the Box was a Herfy’s. West Seattle Nursery was a Herfy’s. They opened at around the same time. Arby’s replaced the Herfy’s at the Junction, Herfy’s on Admiral lasted longer, became Jack in the Box, Monteray Jack’s, Jack in the Box.
Dairy Queen was in the building in the Lucky/Thriftway parking lot that was torn down when the store became Queen Anne Thriftway. (that is not a typo.)
Denny’s on California was formerly a Sambo’s.
During afternoon commutes to West Seattle, if the bridges went up, there were people that would walk the rows of cars and sell the evening Seattle Times. “Seattle Times! Night Final!”
January 30, 2011 at 4:05 pm #715628
AdmiralJanewayParticipantI remember the Denny’s being somewhere between the 7-Eleven and Rite Aid. It is now an apartment building.
The Taco Time was also a Boston Market.
Not West Seattle, but as a teen I remember shopping for clothes at The Squire Shop.
Was there a Pizza Pete in West Seattle?

redblackParticipantthanks, pam and gina. i was waiting for my wife while she was in WS nursery one day last spring, and i noticed the roof line and the mismatched bricks – like where maybe some windows were filled in – and i thought, “you know, this looks like it used to be a fast food restaurant.”
ahh, sweet vindication.
January 30, 2011 at 5:31 pm #715630
elikapekaParticipantI think Denny’s was where the VCA vet clinic is now.
January 30, 2011 at 5:39 pm #715631
brewParticipantAnd the best pizza in town at the time…Banana Joes!, next to the Thrifty Drugs which is now Starbucks @ Calif. and Morgan.
January 30, 2011 at 5:47 pm #715632
SmittyParticipantNo, but I remember Herfy’s on Evergreen Way in Everett!
Mmmmmm….Herfy Burgers after roller skating….
January 30, 2011 at 6:27 pm #715633
GinaParticipantThe VCA pet clinic building was a pizza place when it first opened, some chain place–nasty pizza.
There was a Pizza Pete in the building that last was the Redline on 35th. Had a giant fishtank.
January 30, 2011 at 8:29 pm #715634
JanSParticipantGina…wasn’t that Pizza Haven? I seem to remember that. There was also a different pizza place where Pizza Pete was…I’m thinking Round Table…for just a little while…
of course…how many people remember Penny’s Dog House? Calif . Ave. , where Charlestown Cafe is now…
January 30, 2011 at 9:13 pm #715635
dawsonctParticipantMike, bebe, was Nifty’s on Harbor Island a diner/chili parlor? I remember my Dad taking me to a place on Harbor Island when I was a kid, but in recent years have driven around the island looking for a place like that and was starting to think my memories were just too hazy.
January 30, 2011 at 9:14 pm #715636
JanSParticipantdawson, there was also a place down near the Chelan Cafe called the Blew Eagle…
