ParticipantActually, Mama’s, on Belmont Avenue (Bala Cynwyd) wipes Pat’s or Geno’s. After Mama’s you could bop over to Overbrook WaterIce for a $0.49 chocolate and a couple of soft pretzel *with* mustard, either on Main Street in Manayunk or be really brave and do the original across from Overbrook high school. Now, if we’re talking Geno’s hambergers (back in the 50’s and 60’s), I’ll take Geno’s. Grew up in Lower Merion (Bryn Mawr, Wynnewood, then Penn Valley) but have been gone for several decades.

ParticipantAny guesses what on what the numbers will look like in June? I would imagine prices dropped considerably for New Homes, while volume increased. However, Existing Homes, dropped more in price, and in volume.
Spring season appears, to be a dud.

Its all about the environment with Pat’s and geno’s. Freezing you butt off at 2 am in line at Pat’s is classic. We could all name a dozen better places to get a cheesesteak. I remeber Genos’ also before it got acquired by KFC (remember that?). My best friend in the world lives off Righter’s Mill in PV and I have friends all over the Main Line. In my book, its a nice place to be from. I suspect you probably feel the same way.sdr

ParticipantCheck out this property:
An almost $100,000 price reduction and a loss of over $25,000. Motivated sellers are slowly coming out of the closet. Patience is key in this market because it is falling pretty quick.

May 31, 2007 at 10:15 PM #55836Participantsdr, you’ve got one hell of a memory! And you are correct, it was a good place to be from, especially in the 50’s/60’s. Were you there in the 70’s when you could still get a gorgeous 3500sf Main Line stone home on a pristine acre or two for a buck and a quarter? Philadelphia may not be a lot of things, but you simple can’t beat the real estate. Absolutely gorgeous homes by the thousands and thousands, and, of course the birthplace of my personal hero, Grace Kelly :).

May 31, 2007 at 10:46 PM #55844ParticipantI didnt grow up on the Main Line but many of my childhood friends ended up there (Drs, Lawyers, Stockbrokers, Financial Planners, Execs. etc.) I also acquired many friends through my early adult life that grew up and stayed there. I used dated a girl who lived in an awesome house in Villanova. I’m not sure but I believe they evenually sold the house to Dr, J. Those old homes are spectacular. My best friend actually bought an acre lot down a private drive and built a beautiful custom home about 15 years ago.
I’m in my mid 40’s and was in that area from the early 60’s through most of the 80’s. Most of that time was spent across the river. I still remember my dad taking us out for a bucket of chicken at Geno’s. You might even recall that the lids were great frisbees.

May 31, 2007 at 11:24 PM #55856ParticipantNot that I am long on memory, but I remember sitting in front of the Geno’s on West Chester Pike in Havertown (it was near the driving range); I was probably eight or nine, bucket of fried chicken, in my mom’s corvair listening to Bill Cosby’s new album, “Right!”. I remember it so vividly because the guy next to us had it on and he waited the entire time (20 minutes or more) until it was over so we could listen to it. Now how’s that for times being different ‘back in the day.’ I also remember the Frisbee lids and the burgers being 19 cents. I can still picture the 19 cent sign. And that’s when a dollar was still worth 19 cents!
