so-cal dub Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Prince Akeem: Sir, did you happen to catch the professional football contest on television last night? Cleo McDowell: No, I didn't. Prince Akeem: Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big "H". It was a most ripping victory. Cleo McDowell: Son. Prince Akeem: Yes? Cleo McDowell: If you want to keep working here, stay off the drugs. Prince Akeem: Yes. I stole the idea, but damn it feels good.

BIGBLUE01 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Interestingly, where McDowell's is today stands a Wendy's on Queens Blvd. Was it really a McDowells before, or a McDonalds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giants1027 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Was it really a McDowells before, or a McDonalds? It was always a Wendy's...I went to school near that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 It was always a Wendy's...I went to school near that place. Just before the Queens Borough Bridge starts ramping up in Sunnyside....right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giants1027 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Just before the Queens Borough Bridge starts ramping up in Sunnyside....right? No...it's alot closer to the Queens Center Mall. I guess you could consider it the beginning of Woodside..not 100 percent sure about that though. It was about 4 blocks away from that sporting goods store called Hermans...it was near the Elmwood movie theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about 4 blocks away from that sporting goods store called Hermans...it was near the Elmwood movie theater. I know where you were talking about. Back in the mid 90's I oversaw 6 group homes for mentally retarded adults in that area. They were mostly in Rego Park a couple were in Middle Village along the street the Q-11 travels down to Howard Beach from the Mall. I remember Woodside being a big Irish area....now its back to being Irish but a lot of them are recent arrivals from Eire as opposed to American Irish.
