Hollywood Drive-In or Diner?
Someone recently emailed
me asking if I had information on the Hollywood Drive-In. They said it was
located on 35th St. and 27th Ave. S., near Hiawatha Avenue.
I do not remember it. Do any of you? Maybe one of you worked there and
can shed some light on this drive-in or diner.

"I recently came across your website and have enjoyed the many memories
found there.
The one drive-in I would love to know more about was the Hollywood Drive In
which was located close to Hiawatha Avenue at about 35th Street and 27th Avenue
South.
I grew up on 34th St. and 26th Avenue South and spent a lot of time at the
Hollywood. I haven't been able to find any info or pictures. Do you
remember it?
I lived at 34th and 26th Ave. from 1957-1965. We moved when our
house was scheduled to be torn down for the expected expansion of Hiawatha Ave.
I remember the Hollywood as being referred to as a drive-in but it may not have
been.
It was a small diner and we would walk over for ice cream or
burgers. What I do remember is that it sat on one of those diagonal
strips of land that dotted Hiawatha Ave.
I've attached an old photo of the area that shows kind of what I remember.
I've zoomed in on the attached photo and not sure if this is the building I
remember.
Anyway, I'm enjoying doing some digging and remembering the way things
used to be. Enjoyed your website!
I attended Corcoran and then Folwell and graduated from Vocational in 1970.
Wish I could remember the exact location - I just know we could easily walk over
there from 34th & 26th Ave. which we did often."

La Pizzeria |
![]() |
~ 33 West Lake Street
~ I remember a popular pizza place that was always packed on Saturday nights. We used to cruise down Lake Street on occasion with a car load of hungry teens to savor this pizza and check out who all was there. La Pizzeria was located on the south side of West Lake Street between Nicollet and Blaisdell Avenues, a few doors east of Blaisdell. It did not extend to the corner, and the address was 33 West Lake Street. "Next to the La Pizzeria was Champion Auto Parts, that went to the corner of Lake & Blaisdell", explains Wayne. I notice that the Vogue Theater was located on the other side of La Pizzeria, just east of it, at 31 W. Lake Street. I never saw a movie at the Vogue. It was too far from the regular theater favorites. It was renamed and eventually demolished. Tom McNamee owned La Pizzeria, and it was opened in 1957 at 33 West Lake Street. At some point, he purchased the President Cafe on Nicollet Avenue, because he knew the strip on Lake Street was going to be torn down. In about 1963, when the strip was demolished, Tom moved his La Pizzeria business to the basement of the President Cafe. It wasn't there too long, only about two years until 1964 or 1965. Horsch's Meat Market was located on the southwest corner of Blaisdell and West Lake Street. The La Pizzeria business moved into that spot when Horsch's went out of business in '64 or '65. Later, in the 1990s the building was under different ownership and was renamed, Champions Sports Bar & Grill; but La Pizzeria pizza was still in business there. Today, you'll find a bar and eating place at that location, probably under still a different name. In the last four years, the La Pizzeria pizza business was sold. * The La Pizzeria location that we frequented in 1962 and years prior, was the original location at 33 West Lake Street. ~ Sources: Dave Lindquist, RHS '62, Wayne Rixmann CHS '62, and Harald Huglen CHS '62 ~ * A conflicting comment with that provided above, in the paragraph above: "The present location still has the same menu. The only thing that changed is the name, Champions Sports Bar & Grill, corner of Lake and Blaisdell. My brother, Tom is still the owner." ~ Bill McNamee, CHS '57 ~ Link ~ McNamee owner of former La Pizzeria, Page 4 ~

"Marty's was actually called Marty's Broiler. They served food and sold grandma Marty's homemade ice cream. It was the hangout for Nokomis students after school." ~ Geoff Moore, RHS '66 ~ "Marty's malt shop was on 34th Avenue at 50th street and I knew one of his kids our age Faith Marty." ~ F. David Shrewsbury RHS '61 ~ "It was the malt shop across from Skylane Bowling. They had booths in the basement where kids sat to sneak a cigarette." ~Janice Dejoy, RHS '56 ~ "Marty's 5 hamburgers for a $1.00" ~Barbara (Battershell) Anderson, RHS '68 ~ "We used to go there after school (Nokomis) and play pinball. I think they had the 'Buck-a-roo'. Now it's either a Pizza Hut or a Domino's. It's delivery or take out only." ~ Gregory Koberstein, RHS '70 ~ "I remember the old Marty's and did go in the basement once or twice, but mostly I remember Marty's after it was remodeled and there was no access to the basement." ~ Geoff Moore, RHS '66 ~ "Marty's was across from the bowling alley and next to a gas station on one side and a laundromat on the other. It was at the opposite end of the strip center from the liquor store, on the north end of the complex. The gas station was to the north of Marty's. I live out of state, but as far as I know the building is still there." ~ Geoff Moore, RHS '66 ~ "In Marty's location now is a PIZZA HUT. At one time, there was a jeweler there and a CPA/tax service office." ~ Dale Gordon, RHS '67 ~ |
