***Our band played some place in Pasadena during the mid 60s that I thought was called "Teen Hall".***
That place in Pasadena was Taylor Hall. The original Taylor Hall was in the old part of Pasadena just north of Hwy 225. They moved in the early sixties to a new place on South Richey. I may be one of the very few people who grew up in Pasadena back then and never ever went to Taylor Hall. I heard it was a lot of fun though.
I wasn't born yet, but I love this era and the music. Check out this pic!

There was Bently's, around back, that was a bar where they had a $180,000 1949 Bentley right next to the dance floor. This was the 80's. I can't believe my horrible fake ID got me in there. I used to take a 13yo girl there named Shelley (can't believe she got in either) and she'd drink Blue Hawaiians (way strong) and I'd drink 151 & pineapple. We were very, very young, but we could really, really drink.
The big anchors were, before Randall's, a Handy Dandy (I was very, VERY little and barely remember it) and a Save-On Drugs where Walgreens is now. The Save-On would run a special to get some traffic occasionally of a 2 scoop Blue Bell ice cream cone for 10cents...TEN CENTS. Even my cheap, uh....frugal dad couldn't say no to that. I got rocky road.
There was a restaurant called the Hungry Tiger. There was a restaurant called La Quiche where Rudi Lechner's is now, and I had my first slice of quiche ever there. I didn't think I'd like it, but I loved it. There was a Schlotzsky's there, too, just to the left of the Save On and set farther back. I worked for Swensen's Ice Cream one summer. It was just to the right of the Randall's.
There was Woodlake Cinema III. Yep, just THREE screens. Seems absurd today.
That's all I remember right now!
Notice there's only 7 digits on the phone number. lol
