The Other Five
 |
The Other Five was part of a very active music scene in Muncie during the 60's-70's. Bands included The Ritual, Decembers Children, The Chosen Few, and the Faith Band. Many of these bands had large followings in the midwest, cutting records, and opening for such bands as The Who, when they played the Muncie Fairgrounds.

Zayre was the worst department store ever. Remember Vals Department Store, or King's? Did anyone ever go to Carl's Department Store, on South Madison, for Levis, or the Squire Shoppe? The only cool thing about Zarye was that it had that big slide...Even Zayre has a webpage |  |
The Meadows Shopping Center is gone, it is now part of the office complex built by Ontario Corp. I worked at the Ross Supermarket that was operated in the Meadows through the 1980's. The drug store and dime store were also open well into the mid 1980's. |  |
I dont remember Orvs Drive In, but I did hear my parents talk about it. During the mid 1980's there was a bar called Orvs, it featured 50-60's music. |  |

Shakeys Pizza... I remember Howie Snider was the owner, and he use to sing and play the banjo. Him and his family were featured in a PBS special on "Middletown Revisited" sometime in the early 80's. Middletown |  |
The North Walnut St. Fieldhouse. As a kid from Yorktown, this was enemy territory! So many great games, and great players. My favorite is still the 1978 Sectional game between the Yorktown Tigers and the Muncie Central Bearcats. What a battle, 3 OT's, Yorktown had them beat in the 1st OT, all Alvin Fields had to do was sink one of two foul shots and we win... he missed both, and the Cats went on to win the state. |
