I just wanted to thank everyone for there memories. Reading these posts has sent me back to some of the happiest moments in my life. I worked at Gertie’s in the late 70’s and early 80’s and it was a magical time. You could not have asked for a better neighborhood to grow up in like Brighton Park! The people who worked at the show would come in to Gertie’s daily. Most of them became friends. I am still dear friends with the ticket seller Sandy! We met when I was only 16 and that is a LONG time ago.
I found this site when I was looking for photos of Archer Ave. Gerties, the show, etc. from the 60’s 70' and 80’s. If anyone has any that they wouldn’t mind selling copies of, I would be very interested.
Thanks for taking me down memory lane.
