Instead of sharing reader stories or memories, as I often do, I&#8217;m going to share reader <em>requests<\/em> for memories.<\/p>\n<p>These are all topics that people have contacted me about, asking who else remembers them. I&#8217;d love to hear your comments on any of these using the methods at the end of today&#8217;s column!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reader <strong>Anita<\/strong>, who called from North Carolina, wanted to know what people remember of former shoe-shine places in York. She recalls one called Rufus two doors down from Futer Bros.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Doug<\/strong> wrote that a family member of his who grew up in downtown York during the 1930s and &#8217;40s talks about home life from back then and her walks downtown to The Bon-Ton&#8217;s book department and the Flamingo Restaurant, as well as Hudson Hosiery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>An unnamed reader<\/strong> asked, &#8220;I would like to know the names and locations of public schools that\u00a0were part of York City Schools in the mid-1950s.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Joann Rudisill<\/strong> wants to know about the old bowling alleys in York. &#8220;There was one that had duck pins in the city and a bowling alley on South Pine Street,&#8221; she wrote.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brenda Dunnick<\/strong> wants to know more about Playland and a hotel with a deep pool on East Market Street. We&#8217;ve certainly <a href=\"\/onlyyork\/2014\/08\/28\/bury-hamburgers-playland\/\" target=\"_blank\">talked about Playland in the past<\/a>, but I&#8217;m always glad to hear more!<\/li>\n<li>From <strong>Myra Doughty<\/strong>, I heard, &#8220;What about the Hub Store?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gini Hamme<\/strong> wants to talk about the Chantiles Parking Lot, on the corner of Philadelphia and Beaver streets, where the White Rose is now located. This is cool because I know some of the descendants of the Chantiles family, including one of my daughter&#8217;s former sixth-grade teachers, and we&#8217;ve <a href=\"\/onlyyork\/2012\/07\/17\/ask-joan-smithsonian-and-national-geographic-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\">shared memories from\u00a0other Chantiles family members<\/a> in the past.<\/li>\n<li>Reader <strong>Gwen<\/strong> noted, &#8220;J.M. Fields was my family&#8217;s company (my great-grandfather was the founder). I&#8217;m really only discovering this part of my family&#8217;s history now &#8211; I&#8217;d love to hear any other stories you folks have!&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>And <strong>Georgia Heilman<\/strong> wants to know &#8220;Do you have info on the Arch Street one-room school?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rick<\/strong> is interested in the west-end farmers&#8217; market in York. I&#8217;m guessing that was the former Carlisle Ave. Market where DreamWrights theater is now!<\/li>\n<li>And <strong>Sis James<\/strong> wants to know more about Howe&#8217;s and Julius&#8217; dairies.<\/li>\n<li>Finally for today, <strong>Charlie Waltmire<\/strong> remembers when there were two ballparks in the York area &#8211; White Oak Park by the Masonic Home and the White Rose park, which was where the Viking AA field is now. Does anyone else remember these?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m really looking forward to hearing your memories on these many topics!<\/p>\n<i>Have questions or memories to share?
