    Kaplans Benhur was opened by Dave Kaplan in 1913.The name was derived from his two sons Bennett and Herman.They closed in 2006.Building was demolished.

    Also Mr. Welu still had all his trophies and rings upstairs when I left.Seemed rather odd.

    My mom worked at Suzanne's for many years.The Warner's owned it when she started in the mid 50"s.Later the Kriticos family bought it and ran it for many years.They were super people to work for and very kind to all.The Alabama theater Sat. matinee was always a blast.

    When I worked at Kmart (59 & Beechnut) in the early 70's I used see Doug at the store sometimes.He wasn't hard to miss. That voice and being so tall I would notice him walking down the aisle. I waited on him a couple of times. A great TV personality.RIP

    Glad you mentioned that bowling alley.I worked for the guy who owned that alley but at his other alley off of S. Shepherd.He wanted to turn the one off Shepherd into a Country western dance club but they wouldn't let him in that area so close to River Oaks.So he remodeled the one on the eastside. That was about 1967 I think.I saw quite afew CW stars pass thru their.

    Back in the late 60's I worked for a very old bowling alley on McDuffie St. and W.Grey.It was called Paladium Lanes.It was quite the alley in its day.Built in the 30's I think.Originally had "duck pins". It was once owned by PBA man Billy Welu.The building was later remodeled into an office complex.
