However, did you know that the cookbook is also filled with pictures and stories about Toronto? There are sto- ries about former “gathering places” such as: McKelvey’s, Wimpys, Art Wemple’s, Harvilak’s High School Confectionery and Rudy’s. The Hut, located on Third Street, was the first to serve the foot-long hotdog. Russell’s Dairy & Restaurant, started as a dairy in New Somerset and after several expan- sions and moves, Mr. Russell built a restaurant on Franklin St. Lou Melhorn operated his dairy in the back of Melhorn’s build- ing and neon lights surrounded the soda fountain in the front. The Blue Danube was the fulfillment of the dream of Sam and Anna Calabrese and their son, Dan. You can find out how much a spaghetti and meatball dinner with a salad and beverage cost in 1946 when they opened. While most of these places have closed, “The Blue” is now owned and operated by another alumnus, Keith Owens ’71, and the wonderful wood and glass bar is still a focal point. There are also stories about the churches in Toronto, some of the other businesses, Toronto Band Camp, along with many recipes from the “Band Camp” cooks and holiday times at local homes. Do you remember getting cakes from Vashti Burn’s and wanting her recipes? They are in the book. So whether you are looking for a taste of something good to eat or a taste of remem- bering your hometown, this is the book for you! Copies are still available at the alumni office, or at Sally’s Hallmark, Toronto Pharmacy, U S Bank and Huntington Bank in Toronto at a cost of $7.25. If you would like one mailed to you, please contact the alumni office at 740-537-9114 or email us at [email protected]. (Shipping and handling costs $5.00)
