Putting together last year’s "Memory Lane" book was such a fun project. Taking a quick look back gave me the opportunity to smile at so many things from our childhoods. Even MORE rewarding was the outpouring of interest from so many people, fondly reminiscing about the institutions and "hang-outs" in the book, but also, so many things that had touched our lives and etched a certain image or event in our minds and hearts. I received hundreds of letters, calls, and emails from Richmonders sharing their stories and memories. It became obvious that there would be an opportunity for me to capture additional fond "look backs" from so many of your suggestions…Thus, the birth of "Memory Lane Volume Two." Join me as we stroll down Memory Lane again, smiling and remembering!

KLEOS International, Inc. is proud to present “Memory Lane Vo. 2”—a brand-new book by R. David Ross all about the beloved businesses of Richmond’s grand old past! Remember when…we had pizza at the Celebrity Room and went to a drive-in at the Rose Bowl? Those were the days, weren’t they?

Take this opportunity to glance in the rearview mirror of Richmond business and entertainment—we’re sure you will smile as you join us for a stroll down “Memory Lane.”

My introductory letter in a recent issue of KLEOS Magazine of Richmond used the analogy of a rearview mirror, moving through life and experiencing progress while at the same time looking back to remember where we have been. I’ve put together a few vignettes of our favorite places that are no longer with us. Places that many of you will fondly remember from yesteryear, your childhood, or even hearing about from loved ones. I’ve had a lot of fun remembering these Richmond institutions and former landmarks and hope that you will enjoy them as much as I have. Please join me as we walk down “Memory Lane…”
