Well than maybe we should hire Crazy Eddie! His prices are INSANE![/quote]
I just wonder what the average age of this site is when most of our fans would get that.[/quote]
My brother is 40 and absolutely knows who Crazy Eddie is, so there's a good chance someone in their late 30s would know. That doesn't sound like too old of an average fan base to me.B)[/quote]
For a guy 40 that is just pop culture. They declared bankruptcy in 1989 and was liquidated. By then they were on fumes. They went the way of E.J. Korvettes, Two Guys, and Wetson Burgers (who should have dominated the McDonalds and Burger King market)[/quote]

So many businesses and cultural establishments have gone and/or been forgotten - just as with coaches
John’s Bargain Store
Bohack Supermarkets
The Daily Mirror and the Herald Tribune (from whose sports pages and boxscores I learned to read as a boy in the 1950s)
Bonomo’s Turkish Taffy
The Brooklyn Dodgers and the trolleys that folks would try to dodge
Marbles and yo yos
Keds sneakers
WMCA Good Guys
Trans World and Pan Am Airlines
Roller Derby
Helmet less hockey players
Pink slabs of gum in baseball card packs
Rheingold Beer brewery
Haberdasher (hat) stores
Ball players leaving their gloves on the playing field in between innings
And so forth
And oh yes, hopefully gone and forgotten are mediocre seasons at Alumni Hall
It’s another time that’s trying our
Redmen souls - young and old
All the best
Oh I believe E.J. Korvettes department stores were founded by Korean War veterans[/quote]
That's awesome about Korvettes. You may be my favorite poster.[/quote]
Be honest now Beast, you're your favorite poster.
