I think this shop was owned by a Mr. Miller who also taught at the junior high school across the street. I remember he gave our class a short lecture about how nutritious the Hoagie's were.
How times have changed. When I was in junior high from 61 through 64 a small hoagie cost $.25 a large hoagie cost $.35. Prices now or around five dollars.
Anyone else raved on those greasy, but delicious, french fries from The Hoagie Shop?
I remember the wax-paper sack they came in when you ordered, and the bottom was often oil saturated, but they sure were tasty! And the tin-metal salt shaker, to top them off!
Those of us who graduated in the 1960's era would refer to this Hoagie Shop as a stone's throw away from the Junior High School.
ReplyDelete"Ok, I'll meet you behind the Hoegie Shop after school." How many time did you hear that during Jr. High?
ReplyDeleteI live states away and have never had a sandwich that even comes close to those amazing hoagies. Great memories. What I wouldn't give to have one now!
ReplyDeleteThe tuna fish hoagie was outstanding. Yum.
ReplyDeleteI always ate mine with a large glass of buttermilk.
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend and I used to have hoagie eating contests between each other! That girl could really scarf down a 6" sub!
ReplyDeleteThere are now 3 hoagie shops in town owned by the same people and they are just as good.
ReplyDeleteI used to go there before I tried Subway.

ReplyDeleteYes, I've lived in the south since 1966 and have yet to have a hoagie as good as those from that shop.
