The story from Linwood is maybe the best of all the youtube clips from Woodske. I really enjoyed it.

Chippewa is DEFINITELY overrated. Thanks for the traffic, WalMart.

That was one of my favorite comments through all my interviews...his delivery was classic.

The burger joint was Burger Chef! I remembered? Does anyone else?

[woodske1]

I heard alot about that one during filming.

Now, since 1992, it's PIZZA DUDE!!! I got pizza there once. Once.

Of course! Burger Chef was at the bottom of College Hill, right across from the 'cork works', which has been torn down and is a part of Geneva College. I think the Burger Chef building is now a car wash.....

I loved the Orams doughnuts with the white sugary creamy centers that wasnt quite whipped cream but not quite icing...I LOVED the library, the Eat N Park, Schlotters flowers are the best for 100 miles. My first french fries were at the McDs on the Brighton end of town. I miss the bread clock on the hill. I climbed to the "G", I swam at Merada before it had waves, remember that cranky guy who ran that old toy store CRAMMED with stuff? The houses rock at Christmas.

I learned to drive in the high school parking lot (where I went to nursery school). Did I have milkshakes at Hoffmans? Best thrift store and super car cruise these days. What was that burger place across from the swimming pool? Something Burger... D & G pizza had salty sausage..mmm.. Hot Dog Shoppe...need I say more... I used to climb down past the railroad tracks and down to the dam at the end of 5th Street after playing at the playground... I wish I could have seen it in its heyday.

Oram's beats Krispy Kreme anyday.

Bonnage's- the toy store run by a guy who apparently didn't care for children very much.
