Last night I wrote about George’s Pizza on Bridge Street that closed years ago. I thought he had moved to the Spartan Pizza location, and today his wife, Terry Poulos, sent me this link to the Facebook group: George’s Playhouse.

It was my first job at 8 yrs old, teens would come in and give me a 2 or 1 doller bill and I would give them quarters. I used to also sweep and mop and would get paid in quarters and go give them back by playing the games.

I remember back in the day, sometime in the winter, I was playing a game and all of a sudden my legs felt very warm. Smitty lit my pants on fire, so I put it out and he did it again. I had to walk home with barely any pants left. Awww, the good ol dayz!

If a bunch of the boys were skipping my class, I used to get someone to cover and I would head to George’s Playhouse and drag them back to school!

For all the folks asking what was on the corner where the town empty parking lot is now next to Spartans you can see the building which was formerly Don Switzers garage .I believe later on it was run by Mel Phillips , Susan’s dad
