Comment by Roberta West on January 19, 2010 at MyFortDodge.com - Steelman's Roller Rink! I think I lived there Friday's and/or Saturday nights from the age of 12. All Skate. Reverse Skate. Coldest bottled soda I ever had. And I still have my Chicago Roll Rights - changed the wheels out when I moved to Southern California and skated on Venice Beach - my shoe size never changed from the age of 12. I still have my skates.

Hi Jaci,
How are you? My usually infallible memory is not serving me well. I am unsure whether it was Tom or Jerry(?) Higgins who was in FDCC 1960 - 1961. Whichever it was also went to the University of Northern Iowa in 1962.
My recollection is that Ford Hopkins was on the corner of 9th Street and Central Ave., on the northwest corner of the intersection. I think Kresge was located on the southeast corner of 8th Street and Central Ave. Was there another 5 and dime on Central ave., (McClelland's perhaps or a Woolworth's).
Any help you can give me on Higgins would be appreciated.

Comment by Steve Williams on October 10, 2009 at MyFortDodge.com - Bert...that was awesome...with almost everything you wrote I could picture it in my mind...lol One of the drug stores downtown that had a soda fountain was Dick's Drug. Curt Johnson's dad bought that store around 1974...and Curt and I both worked there...we delivered prescriptions when we got our license...I really miss Dirty Nellie's grinders and pizza..I can't remember the name of the disco..where I made a fool of myself many weekends...but I do remember the smaller lounge in the same building was called Rain Forest. Thanks for the memories...Have a good one..
