Re: Fires in the Neighborhood?.

So far as I know - the Chineer house was the ONLY fire in our area. As to
firehouses - I do not recall at all.

That one was built after we left the area. There was no station there
earlier.

Re: Fires in the Neighborhood?.

Hi Al,
Good to hear from you. Do you recall where the closest firehouse to Berendo
was?

[BERENDO] Finally - Progress on new Berendo List / Web Page

Hi Gang,

Well, it's taking me long enough, but finally things are moving toward a new
list server and a new web page. As you can tell, I gave up on the Facebook idea.
Mainly I felt that there would be to many distractions from our subject of
interest, that is, reminiscing about the old Berendo neighborhood.

So what I'd like to try first is changing our list server from Rootsweb to
Google groups. There won't be much of a change in appearance with that. Later,
I'll bring the new web page on-line.

In the next week you will be getting email about being a new member of the new
Google group, so be looking for that. Once you get the introductory email,
you'll be able to email to the group as before. Meanwhile, I won't be shutting
down the old list until every thing is in place for the new scheme. So If
someone forgets and emails the old list, the message will still get through.

I'm hoping that the new set up will get us re-interested in our old haunts and
give us much enjoyment remembering our childhood haunts.

Johnny

[South Berendo Days] New comment on Re: Create New Topic: The 1936 Stainless Steel For....

John Dumas has left a new comment on your post "Re: Create New Topic: The 1936 Stainless Steel For...":

An aside to that "rusty chevy" story has to do with my stay in Minnesota for about 8 months. You may know that in those areas many people will keep there regular car in the garage all winter. They buy a "winter beater" to use during the bad months. That "winter beater" is usually an older car that has seen better days body-wise but is still in good mechanical condition. I bought an old Datsun thinking I was going to have to winterover in Minnesota. I bought a new battery and replaced the old rusted out floor pan under the driver's side. After getting it all fixed up I learned that I would be sent back home. The good part was I was able to sell the car back to the guy I'd bought it from. After seeing how I'd improved the car, he said to come back and buy the car anytime I wanted.

Re: Create New Topic: The 1936 Stainless Steel Ford

Wish my 1950 Chevy had been stainless steel. I bought it in 1956 for
$500 hard earned dollars. It must have belonged to someone from the
hard winter states. It was very rusted on the underside. Probably
from driving on salt treated winter roads. I didn't have enough sense
in those days to do a thorough check on the condition of a used car.
I just saw this shiny metalic kelly green convertible and fell in love
with it. It was sitting on a used car lot over on Figueroa and it
looked so great under the lot's night lighting. (Another thing you
shouldn't do is buy a car at night.) I kept it up until about 1961
and then abandoned it to the junk yard. Today I try to keep my cars
for around ten years and they're still in pretty good shape when I
give them up.

Re: [BERENDO] me again

Hey Steve,
Good to hear from you. No problem with the mixup. I don't know how timely this will or where and when Shelley will be visiting. My home number is 509-476-3061. My cell is 509-322-0556. It would be great to hear from them. I really haven't kept up with your family lately.
Hope all is well with all of you.
Dave

[South Berendo Days] New comment on Re: Fires in the Neighborhood?.

John Dumas has left a new comment on your post "Re: Fires in the Neighborhood?":

Mike Dumas pointed out that we had a fire right on our block. The Chenier's house caught fire when a floor re-finishing project went awry. Fortunately no one was in the house. For a while, until their house was restored, the Cheniers stayed across the street with the... Wombleys?. In this case the house didn't burn to the ground and just a lot of interior rework put the house back into shape for living in.

Re: [BERENDO] THE SIXTIES.......

Hi Diane,
We had some trouble getting your message. It was bounced for being too large.
But, I figured it out, I think. You wanted to send us this
link: http://objflicks.com/TakeMeBackToTheSixties.htm . It's a great summary of
the Sixties. I am enjoying watching/listening to it right now.

I don't know what's going on with our list server, but I'm getting more
legitimate messages being rejected. I'm still working on a new venue for us. I
have pretty much given up on the Facebook idea, but am working on a new webpage
for us. This may ultimately mean we will have to change our list server. I'll
keep you all posted.

Johnny

I also seem to remember a fire on New Hampshire, somewhere between
112th and Imperial. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

I looked up the county fire department fire house locations and found one on Normandy and 108th street. I don't know how long a firehouse has been in that location. This one looks like a fairly new one. Maybe it replaced an older one in the same location. This is right next to Washington High School.

Re: Fires in the Neighborhood?

It seems to me at least one house burned down.  I have the distinct memory of stomping around in soggy charcoal remains on the way home from Woodcrest school. - Johnny

Re: Fires in the Neighborhood?

Does anyone recall where the closest firehouse was?  I feel like it may have been on Normandy.
