Completely off topic, I lived in Fredonia around that time. I worked at the school, so I pretty much hung out in the townie bars (Coughlan's and an family run bar/italian restaurant I'm blanking on) . What was the big party bar you are talking about?

Sunny's. I know it was actually a dance bar. I hung out a lot at Rooney's and sometimes the OMI.

On the one side of Sunny's was a gym. On the other side was a Sears catalog showroom. Above the Sears were two apartments. My friends and I lived in one of them. I was a music major, as was another one of us. The other two were graphic design and communications, respectfully.

The Sears was at the end of the street, at the start of which was the police department. It was a one-way street, so the cops were always traveling past. My understanding is that the Sears eventually turned into a topless bar, after the Sears showrooms went out of business.

Where did you work at the school? I worked for a short time in the food service. I waited tables at the Topiary Tree. I also was part of the wait staff for events at the president's house.

Yes, Sunny's I went there more than a few times. I worked in the Computer Center in Maytum. The primary terminal room was in the bottom of the Library. I also taught some of the CS classes. I ate at the Topiary tree more often that I'd like to admit. It was a fun time. It was very creative school with the music and design people everywhere.

Any chance you remember the italian place? It was small, 1/2 was a restaurant, 1/2 was a bar. It was named after the family. Grandma was still working, making really awesome gravy. Awesome sausage sandwiches and Beef on Weck.

My email is in my profile, if you want to chat that way.
