If that is Benjen coming to the rescue, then I guess he just found a horse somewhere, because last we saw in season 1, his horse returned to Castle Black. The black fur matches the fur she is wearing in the picture where she seems sad. And I recognize her hands. Ghost very much alive and standing ready to launch — which I cannot wait for!

Wondering where her bouncing baby boy is? White cloaks are different, and this Knight would have taken off his cloak while fighting. Or am I misremembering? I assumed Yara was in some brothel, somewhere in Essos. A Volantis brothel again, like season 5? When Davos draws Longclaw he is looking past Ghost at the door being beaten down. I think the NW men with him are Jon loyalists getting ready to defend his body.

Those are the Nights watch brothers who are loyal to Jon, he is saying it to them before Thorne and his fellow mutineers break down the door. Yes I thought of that pic too http: The trailer scene could be the same one, shot day for night. The location sure looks right. If only it was an elk. So they are probably doing a one for all all for one thing. The last scene of the first episode will be the resurrection of Jon Snow in a nod to the last scene of the first episode in season one. One Stark falls and one rises! That is how I imagined her at least, but I cannot make out the other person opposite her to confirm.

But if blue roses do… No, I agree. It still seems as if he is standing on the edge of a great precipice. Or are they after Ghost? Euron on the rope bridge…GAH!!! Then Jon shows up and saves them! When I did a frame by frame of Arya there it indeed looks like here eyes are normal then she looks up and they are white … much like Bran when he wargs. It looks like Jon should be laying on a table, like the same kind of table in the background but he looks like his body is just floating there. I think I am just being hyper critical because my expectations are so high that I unfairly pick apart everything.

Zoom in and look across the top. I do remember reading about that now that you mention it. The Greyjoys will have an interesting storyline this season, it seems. Predatory animals are amazingly good at keeping completely still in situations of danger or fighting. I would not be surprised if the final edit has Ghost growling the way that a threatened canine would growl: Tyrion is in the dungeons looking for his Dragon.

Really wish they added him to the show. When they have shown people warging, they have had white eyes, not milky blue, and they also have had the actors roll their eyes to the top of their eye sockets. This looks like what they showed last year when Arya was blind. So, maybe Arya will have waking wolf-dreams due to her blindness. Hodor is neither horseman nor badass. He might could ride a horse. I would rather it be fireballs! So far, they have been good about avoiding the ridiculous fantasy cliche of having undead be more flammable than gasoline.

It is particularly laughable for the wights: And, yes, this is something that the viewers know: Mel looks into fire, Dany touches it. Am I over-thinking this and every other little detail in every other picture? Barbeque Harpy on the menu tonight! If they are simply using the ToJ flashback to sequence to establish the parentage of a certain someone, they would not need to include Dawn or the return of Dawn to the family. And it would be a lovely nod to their sweet relationship.

I would much rather this than necrophilia, lol. But seriously, it makes a lot of sense! Hmm, so this could be the end of Mel? There might also be a literal and figurative component: That would make sense. Perhaps Davos is even speaking to Sansa. How long do horses last, anyway? But regarding Coldhands, I doubt that they would add him now. It is quite possible that his contribution to the plot is done, and anything he might contribute could be done by someone else.

Just like nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition… this trailer came out of nowhere! Long time lurker, long time reader, listener of GOO here…. See what I did there.. I think Bran and Bloodraven are instead seeing the events of the first long night and this is the Nights King from then? Or was he just running things at the wall, a little north and south of it doing his white walkery thing for some years not bothering anyone. Well, remember that Melisandre is there herself, and there is no reason why she cannot revive Jon there: However, at that point they probably will have to flee Castle Black: Hopefully not too many of the Wildlings are about to get slaughtered: The figure on the horse is a strong fighter and rider who seems experienced in killing wights with fire.

Not likely to be Hodor or Bran. The Old Brown Wookiee: I noticed no difference! How would there be a plan of which to get wind? The only person who knows that Jon can be revived is Melisandre, and there is no reason why she would tell anyone else. There is no indication on the show that this ability is well-known outside of the Red Church or that anybody else can do such a thing.

Still, we have to ask: What is Jon to him? But would he do this for Mel? They do know to burn the dead, and anyone trying to prevent that would immediately be suspicious.

What I wonder about more is: How are the Nationalists handling the Wildlings? Just like nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition…this trailer came out of nowhere! They just alter his look each season slightly since his screen time continues to grow as does the budget. But then why does he seem to be lying down? His nose looks bigger. Idk, must be the way it was shot or something.

When you look at how much the human [and dragon, and wolf] characters have changed over the seasons, it would just be weird to trot out the exact same look for a major villain. The Old Brown Wookiee ,. The Night King is a title passed down through a royal bloodline, similar to how the major Houses of Westeros pass down their titles, particularly the Targaryens. This goes more into the Ice VS Fire. The royal family of Ice VS the royal family of Fire. Either due to prophesy or male preference in titles. Or they just want to get in and burn his body. Also, they did a good job of picking an actor that looks a lot like Theon as Euron Greyjoy.

HBO would never allow any miracle to be peformed fully clothed, lol. If they were so keen on burning him upon death, why leave him out there long enough for Davos to get his hands on him. Did they not think someone might stumble upon his body while they left it unattended. Jon is on a table. His head is right at the edge of the table. Think that made my day more so than the trailer!! Look at how little we know about the Others, this would be an amazing reveal and a nice parallel to the recurring theme of different forms of Ice and Fire.

Maybe the thing with that Jon Snow guy that we no nothing about.

Book: David Mitchell: Back Story

Very exciting if something like that gets revealed. Crasters children could play some part in this as well. Of course there has to be someone on the Others side to be the one to give the warrior of fire a run for their money. Like you said It is a song of Ice and Fire. The main game is about to begin with the Others and the Red God. The reality of this world that people are oblivious to is about to turn all of the petty squandering going on everywhere on Planetos on its ass.

I may or may not have been coherent. Went over the Sansa fur scene in normal speed and the quality is better then the stills, not a tear, she has 2 skin blemishes below her right eye. Haha no prob man. Yeah, probably an endgame thing. Comments near the image mention Stannis. Brienne took his head off with Oathkeeper. Pause for a moment, and go look at the image. Do you see flames and how they are? How can it be Stannis? So, who is it? Now that would be something Ramsey would do!

Who would be about the same build as Sansa? Probably just one of his subordinates, from the Its probably Tormund, as it fits with that clip of his frightened face surrounded by Bolton men. Not sure the timeline would work for Sansa to get there. Just before the shot of Brienne killing Boltons at 1: And in the stills we can clearly see their brown curly hair. Smaller, shorter than Brienne, different armour. Also, if Thorne and co. Nor can they quickly dispose of the corpse and clean up the blood and just say Jon deserted the Watch.

Like, where the hell he is? Last time we saw him in KL. The North to meet again with Sansa? The Vale to get Sweetrobin or to hide there? Why did I never think of Tommen as being the Valonquar? The show keeps nonsense coincidences to a minimum …. They are blowing up stuff…. With help of umbers. Is Tyroin on his way down to the dungeons to visit the other 2 dragons?

It could prove that he is one of the 3 with Danny if they do not crispy fry and eat him! So a lot of people were predicting Jon being unburnt after a funeral pyre and rising up as AA, but the trailer certainly seems to not point that way at all. Her heading to Westeros would certainly indicate her finally entering the game of thrones. The part on the armor could be very true. This could also be part of Rhaegars personal guard, as he was not a king and thus not controlling the kingsguard.

Allister and the other traitors, out of fear of being attacked by the Boltons try to get her, so they can send her back too Ramsey. So what do you think? I could be totally wrong, and honestly expect to be, but this idea just came too me earlier. Dawn would simply look silly on TV. The TV only said that KG have white capes not white armor. Also looks like I was right, that Euron and Balon have a scene togheter. I did not think it will be the rope-bridge scene, but now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense. Guys, GOT has the most retarded writing in history of television.

I mean how the fuck did jorah and darrio find the ring in the grass? You do realize that is impossible. WTF is wrong with these stupid writers? They are focused on the books, but do refer to the show from time to time. This is by far the most retarded thing in history of all television and movie that i now of. And I think I have watched over tv shows and movies in my 40 years of living.

Hundreds or even thousands of horses traveling anywhere are going to leave very clear trails. Add to that that they probably created a very clear circle around Dany when they were riding around her. One ring in the grass, in the middle of a dirt or mud track is not that hard to see. Shh little troll, shh. Just leave us retards here alone and go back too Westeros. Also Aragorn would like too call out on your bullshit. He was apologizing ahead of time for being a shite fighter, which could bevtrye it could just be self deprecating Davos. Like I said, I can see about metal objects in the field outside my window.

And is she stroking that metalwork? It would have to be scorching hot from a long-burning fire, it must be Dany, after she is rescued it seems. So quick yet so awesome! Aside from the photographic evidence of Jon in Stark gear on the battlefield set with the Bolton cross visible nearby and the director of episde 9 next to him as well as set leaks that reported about Jon going into the battle with the Wildlings, we can reach that logical conclusion considering facts from the show.

But for Jorah finding the ring: Jorah knows the Dothraki well. If he catches a rumor of Dany and tracks down the Khalasars in the area he can find the spot. And remember how the riders circled around Dany? Right in the middle is her ring. I have only one question:. Very creepy indeed, they do not seem to be in a room where the nobility would live though. Hope this is the only one they release. Feels good not knowing what is coming. Mel getting her love jubblies out again made me smile. Now is she also fire resistant?

No way Sansa escapes to LF. We have seen a photo of her and Theon taking farewell in a shore. LF is still on his way when sansa and theon escape. It goes without saying.

I am not implying that Davos is about to harm Ghost but somehow Ghost will be sacrificed in some manner to save Jon. If attackers are coming and they are why is Ghost in such a strange physical position? Ghost is positioned away from the attackers, not even between Jon and his enemies. He is lying supine and perhaps unconscious. This duel is gonna be god-tier, Dawn or not. I can just feel it.

Beric and Oberyn vs. Speaking of amazing fights, I just have to reiterate how badass Davos is in that trailer. Based Davos just up and grabbing Longclaw and ready to lay the beatdown on Thorne and his cronies. That and Robert Strong splitting Sparrows in half. Its a great trailer, a nice tease without spoiling anything really. Its almost like those who made it first looked at this site to see what is already spoiled and included just that.

I also think Jorah finding that ring is absolutely ridiculous and its totally unnecessary on top of that. He and Dario could easily learn about Dany being taken by Dothrakis by different, way more realistic means. I am not so sure about supposed Nissa Nissa moment. I can see why many would prefer that to the alternative of Mel fucking Jon back to life…, but it would not be really a Nissa Nissa like event.

All seems to ignore that AA myth is really about a sacrifice of someone loved, about dedication to the Red God and to the great cause of saving humanity. Jon or Davos killling Mel is not really that. Seems to have long white hair. Prince that was promised turning out to be a prince of White walkers would be an interesting turn of events. After all Rhaegar got at least some parts of that prophecy wrong, possibly this one as well. They do appear to be wearing NW black garb. To be honest, I got a vision of Arya, what with the length and color of the shadow of hair we can see.

A man of honor mixed with compassion just like Jon. Who would have ever guessed that.? I hate to see Tormund die but we know he will dang it. When Kit Harrington said that he had done his best work as a corpse, he was not kidding… just look how many shots of him laying dead are there in the trailer alone? Is the shot of Cersei looking onward not her awaiting the return of Jamie from Dorne? I remember in filming we were notified of her filming a scene in Dubrovnik with the Mountain which looked very similar to the backdrop in the still above.

I do not believe the folks in the room are enemies, given that they allow Davos to casually grab and unsheath Longclaw in close quarters. This, Ghost would have no reason to react. However, when Thorne, Marsh, and Co. No, they will fight, and Ghost will eat Olly's face while he cries in a corner. In all honesty though, I kinda want the traitors-Thorne, especially-to live just long enough to see that Jon was right.

I would love to see Thorne's face as the army of the dead marched on the Wall. Then Jon can throw him off! Look at the screen grab of her in the fur — check out the sun coming through the window. Does she want to start a fire? I do have to say that the apparent spontaneous gayness of Yara is unnecessary and disappointing. Its just a picture and has no context. Depending on what happens in VD, people will start arguing again if dany is immune to fire or not. So yeah, for me she is immune even in the books. Her hair is the only thing that can be burned. There are actually two frames of Theon in the trailer.

In the first, he looks surrendered to the soldiers with the hounds, head down, then he suddenly looks toward something the image shown above. So the frames a few on of her killing Bolton soldiers would follow immediately after the Theon frames. Notice the light reflecting on the bushes towards the left. I wonder what it could be? Maybe he found a burning bush. This is what happens between Daenerys and Drogon:. The sound filled the pit. A furnace wind engulfed her … If I run from him, he will burn me and devour me … Drogon roared full in her face, his breath hot enough to blister skin ….

How small she looked, how weak and frail and scared. I cannot let him see my fear. Touching it made her feel braver. The leather was warm, alive. Drogon roared again, the sound so loud that she almost dropped the whip. His teeth snapped at her. The dragon jerked his head back. Drogon rose, his wings covering her in shadow. Dany swung the lash at his scaled belly, back and forth until her arm began to ache. With a hisssssss, he spat black fire down at her. Daenerys is roared at with very hot breath, and Drogon shoots fire at her, but she avoids the latter. Her skin was pink and tender, and a pale milky fluid was leaking from her cracked palms, but her burns were healing.

In addition, the fact that Daenerys is afraid of being burned seems indicative that the Targaryens do not believe in a blanket fire immunity for themselves. Well, if the leaked info from Almeria is true. The hands are too smooth, which leads me to believe that they belong to a young person.

The only options I can think of are either Sansa or Olly. Again, Sansa seems unlikely as that person seems to be wearing NW blacks. So the only person I can think of is Olly. Or else a new recruit, in which case it would be just a random NW guy, no one important. The show wont be the same. I was in love with the bastard Lord commander, not some cold shell of a man that he will likely become.

Something rubbed me the wrong way with Cersei and Jamie making out ahain. Anyone else feel like thy should have progressed out of that stage at rhis point? John Stark will rise…. And they have dragons and blood magic and burning leaches and smokey guys killing people… Fiction sucks! It could be Edd or Davos.

Impossible to say with certainty. Thank you for the advice. Jorah lived among the Dothraki so he probably can see a huge khalasar rode in circles near the site Drogon spent time recovering. If I saw that I would canvas the area for hints of what might have happened to Daeny….

Goes to show how really progressive our world really is when being a lesbian is still considered shocking in these times. You should be ashamed of yourself especially being a woman. I fully support changes that enable the story to be told concisely on the television screen. Random sweeping changes to the characters themselves for no good reason annoys me. Except for maybe Dany idk how anyone could do that without being fried, unless they used magic or something an idea I personally hate. If they go with the entire dragonhorn story.

Yeah,keep bringing those excuses, you really think this is the first time i had an argument with a racist,homophobe or any other bigot on the internet? They all use the same lame excuses that you use to cover themselves up. Just in this fandom i know one example of racism,when Lindaaaa of westeros. And you are assigning subtext where there is none. I reject random changes to established characters when it serves no point regarding the accurate adaptation of the book to the screen.

In the scene with Tyrion you can see Varys in the background standing with a torch safely at a distance. The next shot shows a dragon flying away , which suggest that Tyrion is in the pyramid to free the dragons. Aside from Yara allowing Theon to feel her up so she could torment him, there has been no indication of her sexuality, so what makes you think they have changed it for no reason? What makes you think she is not simply manipulating someone?

What makes you think anything, since there is no context for you to dislike any arrogantly alleged changes? Perhaps you need to pull your head out of your ass, as well. I like the idea of Yara being gay. Will reserve final judgment when I actoully see more of her, a 0. The possibility of Asha getting pregnant from her relationship with Qarl the Maid and thus producing a legitimate heir to the Iron Islands is potentially — and I say potentially, because none of us know where the story is going — more vital of a plot point than whatever influence the Dusky Woman is going to have.

This trailer… No words!!! Oh here we go again with theories that we consider fact….. And before you jump on me. If they portray her badly then I will fully agree with you that this change was pointless and bad. Instead you should think what this change means too that theory.. Davos and Jon never really had a relationship, so I wonder why Davos is protecting Jons body so much.

Im not complaining, just wondering. In the hardcore book forums, some theories became fact.

Upcoming Events

The show is simply hurrying the inevitable. I agree…that would be an awfully hot piece of metal to stick a hand on for anyone other than a Targ. Stannis clearly respected him so Davos probally likes him too. Where would he go now that his king is dead. My theory on why the Mutineers want to break down the door and burn the body is that they want to keep the mutiny secret, since it is a head-rolling, treasonous offense, after all.

But they must first destroy all evidence. Then bide their time until a new election when Alliser is sure to be named Lord Commander. Looks more like the one Sansa is wearing than the NW ones, where are our Red-headed ladies finding these luxurious grey fur cloaks. But I am very interested in the fact that she covering herself up, could it be that she is actually cold?

A reduction in power? Or just feeling insecure in her abilities? What you mean only Castle Black has windows to let sunlight through? This could be any Northern stronghold. So theres no evidence this is Castle Black.. And you are right, he has no one else and no where else to go. Can you provide a screenshot? Winterfells are more like this but not the same. I am freaking gay and I had the same reaction KG did, you are going to call me a homophobe too? Hmm it could be they change their mind and try to cover it up due to a change in circumstances, could be that Sansa DOES go to the wall, and when Thorne hears of this, wants to dispose of the body fearing eventual retaliation from the Starks were the Starks not responsible for taking the Watch in hand if it became unruly?

But to be honest it seems a little far-fetched, and Sansa would have to get there awful quick if she gets there at all? Maybe a letter from Ramsay demanding Jon? Jorah could be following the dragon and comes upon the mashed down grass. The ring sparkles in the sunshine. Tyrion the Myrions ,. Why be disgusted at all? For all we know her arc may get combined with Victarions in some way would make sense now that Stannis is dead. Its really not a big deal. Pause the trailer at 1: Just a fraction before the white horse falls over and look at the rider in centre.

I should start reading the articles with more care. Manderly's Assistant Baker ,. No, Asha likes men — there is zero evidence she does not like women. They are not the same character. But I will try lol. Just STFU and watch the damn show. True, I have to agree with you. That being said I do think it will be a random brothel scene in wich she will kiss a prostitute just because and that will be it.

The more I watched the trailer the more I think you are right. If they were there to fight Davos why would they let him grab a sword? Which makes all this arguing rather pointless in the end I suppose. Ah yes, after I analized the 0. The sarcasm ends here. Sir George Martin retired nearly 20 years ago from producing music, but his legacy is huge. In particular, he was the one who recognized the unthinkable: Martin actually is a really important lesson of how there are many ways to contribute to art.

He was an OK musician himself: He was the guy who would, for example, transcribe and re-arrange an acoustic guitar demo into a string quartet: Cersei is bi in the books, as are Nym and Margaery. Cersei is not bi in the books. Nor are Maergery or Nym from what I can see in the text. Neither is Dany for that matter. Dany had some fumblings with her handmaiden in bed which was their purpose, historically and Cersei had a thing with Taena Merryweather once maybe a few times.

So it goes to say that just the cloak signified they were Kingsguard and they still wore their House armor. That would get confusing in the show which is probably why they had special armor for the Kingsguard to make them stand out. It would seem weird though, that Arthur Dane would be wearing Targaryen armor if that was the case. Also that he would be wielding two swords.

In the fever dream Arthur Dane was the last one to fall to Ned and Howland, and in the leaked footage of the fight that guy wielding two swords was potentially the last guy to fall. They may just script it as them being Targaryen soldiers. No, I am saying its dumb to think they are doing it for shock value. Why does it have to be for shock value? Maybe its important to her arc this season. Dany had some fumblings with her handmaiden in bed which wastheir purpose, historically and Cersei had a thing with Taena Merryweather once maybe a few times.

Also, Cersei had Merry in her bed every night. But I am unsure if she was actually attracted to her, it seemed to be her way of working out her PTSD about Robert in a really unhealthy way. But that is for GRRM to say. I just doubt that she could be attracted to anyone but Jaime, her sex with other men was meaningless to her too.

I must admit that this was my very first thought after I had seen that shot. She looks very stern and also sad, but regal and in charge somehow. Eddie is much more hunky on the pics we got from Spain…. It is hard enough to distinguish two words separated only by a single vowel when you hear it from someone who speaks like you do: That makes her an organic bipedal plot element for the characters with storylines e.

But in terms of what character development we have, they seem to be the same. Both are cocky and ambitious, and both seem prone to disregard advice, sound or unsound. But somewhat Yara kissing a girl is. Speaking as a woman who is not straight, Daenerys does not come across as a woman who is actually into women. Irri is her serving woman who is obligated to pleasure her. Just vague accusations and rumors.

Dreams are your brain optimizing itself, after all. My point was that among a lot of bi characters they decide to put on Yara, a strong fighter and ship capitain who is either straight or bi, kissing a woman instead of cersei or dany, who are clearly bi in the books at least for me. In my view, if you have a same-sex relationship and you enjoy it you are at least bi. Tywin of the Hill: Indeed, despite what the Dayneites want to be true, the evidence suggest that Daeny usually is just very heat resistant.

The tacit implication is that some combination of human sacrifice remember, Myry whatevery is burned alive and other things induced the magic that got the dragons to hatch and preserved Daeny. This is the closest thing we have seen to figurative Deus ex Machina in the books. The show set it up a lot more by emphasizing how heat resistant Daeny was 3 or 4 times prior to that. But even there, the fact that she comes out with dragons makes it look like a gun hanging of sorts: I am not trying to say that you are a homophobe, but it should be noted that gays can indeed be homophobes some kind of shame response or self-loathing or whatever , just like my grandma was the most bigoted male or is it anti-female in this case?

Is it actually him? Would they show him in the trailer??? This is what I was trying to go with. I want too see the meltdown. Your description of Dany sums up my feelings on Cersei and Merry. But I guess you could be right. I agree with you. And maybe before the fight they will remove the white cloaks for battle. Or maybe since they know the war is over they are only fighting for the Targ family at that point. GRRM managed to pull it off though in the text, only just though.

Here is a better picture of who may be Jon Snow on horseback charging into battle: What a team they were! Do we think she was deeply, sexually attracted to Theon? She is all about her relationship with her loyal men and if they were passing around a hooker.. Only death can pay for life right — how about Olly? It fits, he has to die soon because his story arc has come to an end.

He makes the perfect sacrifice. Lena and Sophie seem pretty excited about this season, which is a relief esp for Sophie, I began to get worried about her S5 arc when she seemed less enthusiastic in the interviews that came out just before the season started.

I hope we get some big Cersei scenes. And not just cause Lena deserves an Emmy, even though she does, her screen presence is very dominating. And though I hated a lot of the S5 Sansa stuff, it was great to see her and Alfie play off of each other, the scene where she finds out about Bran and Rickon was ridiculously intense and arguably their best scene all season.

This must be very difficult for someone who did not follow the filming spoilery. Hang in there D, not much longer. Fairly soon we will discussing episodes. Ghost is guarding the corpse. Davos is talking to him, while he takes the sword-and cloak and black paint and a sort of wig, trying to look like Jon still alive, then riding in the big battle to encourage the Wildlings army? A final punishment for killing the lovely girlfriend and helping Sansa escape? They did he was on Bolton flaying cross, burning. Only thing I say to that is, Theon has been on a Bolton cross before, he was tall enough for it.

The body on that cross is not big enough for it. I am afraid the body on the cross is a boy and it is Rickon. Gods I hope not but Seven Hells that is not an adult body. And yeah, he does look like Theon! Why, Aeron, I am the godliest man ever to raise sail! You serve one god, Damphair, but I have served ten thousand. From Ib to Asshai, when men see my sails, they pray. And yeah, he does look like his nephew, Theon!

Not sure this would work. I would think too much time had passed between the death and the battle. Because Coldhands is an unimportant character only created to provide safe passage for Bran and Co. Nothing else, nothing more. Bran is probably seeing Night King from years ago, not the current one. Who said they were immortal? And Jaime must be the one who kills Cersei, freeing himself from her.

He just will be different. Of course, it seems implausible that someone would confuse a fantasy writer with a music producer, but everyone knows that all artists really want to do something in a completely different medium! Alternatively, go back in time and make your parents give you a name that nobody else made famous yet…. But even if Martin has only started producing the Beatles at, say, Sgt.

Peppers, it would not have been Sgt. Peppers that it left him very depressed and angry for a while: Still, he was in his early 90s and he did a LOT. There will be people who remember him as long as there are people who remember the Beatles: At this point, I think that we simply have to allow for a huge number of possibilities, until we get more information that rules out some of them.

The fact that Bran is wearing such a odd outfit might mean something: My fear initially, but many posters stated that Ghost is standing near the table and predators can be very still before attacking. I still wonder about the motivation for Davos. Why is he sympathetic to Mel? There is something there. Thats Dany standing at the fire not Mel, looks like she got her ring back. I mean, what the heck are you saying.

There is no indication that he is caught by the Boltons in early episodes only to be flayed for the BoB. Theon and Sansa after the escape and the subsequent hunting by the Bolton soldiers is being saved by Brienne and then Theon departs to the Iron Islands. Where did you get all these connections? He could easily be in the Wolfswoods and Sansa runs into him and his army. For those who are interested, I uploaded the updated post-trailer version of my speculative summary of season six, on the forums. He probably was putting his hair up in between takes. Hopefully someone uploades it. The Youtube version is not only p instead of p but also the compression is awful.

Davos is a pragmatic man. Stannis accepted that the world was in danger from a mythical enemy, and therefore Davos does as well. Jon was killed in large part because he put the threat of that mythical enemy above the threat of the Wildlings, and Davos will deem this a mistake. Moreover, in their short time together, Davos did seem to develop a liking for Jon.

Again, many, many scenes will take place this year that fills in these gaps, and the interactions between characters will as always keep evolving. Just a Guest ,. Maybe Just a Guest did not read the filming spoilers. It would make sense to someone completely unsullied. It is about Davos as a character as we have followed him form the start of his presence in the show. He follows the leader who seems to fight for a just cause.

Stannis is dead and Davos quickly realises how critical the situation is and sees how hard Jon works to save Westeros from an imminent danger. He does the maths and decides to follow the Jon Snow path. So there are no narrative gaps in all this…. Maybe Garlan coming to rescue his sister? GRR said Garlan and Wilas will play important parts in the books. In neither of these pictures can one see Longclaw and Longclaw is quite sizeable in comparison to what this figure seems to hold.

Plus the whole man bun thing…. So, it is called tracking. You come across people look for clues along the way dragon feces that fell from sky , talk to people to see if they saw a dragon. These guys are smart and can easily find where Drogon finally stopped and ate all of those animals. Once you do that you look around for clues in the settled area that you found. Yes, a small ring is hard to find, but they easily would be in the same vicinity of the ring so not out of the realm of possibility.

Her dropping it is a clear sign of danger. They could probably tell there were a lot of horses in that area, which means only one thing, Dothraki. Come on, I know people in these days do not track or even have a clue how to. But for midevil times, easy peasy. So excited about Davos now. Never lies even when it can save his life, never wants the power thrust on him.

Never got the Flea-Bottom bowl of brown humility out of his heart and loyalty is literally his only fault. And Jon is the biggest story—from his origins to his stare down with Night King to coming back from the dead. Also—Pretty sure Tyrion is heading for dragons with that torch. Mereen is all alleys and light—except for that place where Dany kept the dragons. Only part that bugged me was Jaime.

I think it is fascinating as well. The Davos factor has me quite excited. Time spent on this kind of speculative thing is time that could be spent on wiki work, which is why I wait for more substantive stuff. I knew from the moment she dropped the ring that this would be a heavily debated subject. If they look for clues in the area where she got captured, they could see the reflections of the metal from a distance although the sky looks a bit cloudy in that shot.

Fine, finding the ring is unfathomable. But as I broke down. Jorah and Daario will clearly be able to head in the direction that Drogon and Dany left the city.

Buy for others

Come across people who saw the dragon to confirm going in the right direction or clues of the direction he went, Not HARD. Noticing that the ground is trampled due to thousands of animal hooves and your in the grassland it is easy to figure, Dothraki. Not HARD since there are no other armies or herds that large. So the smart decision is to follow the Dothraki tracks. So yes finding the actual ring, sure cheesy, but def. Pull your head out of your ass. I am not so sure that his feeling have changed towards her to the extent to show compassion for her as a person and I get the impression that Mel is not very safe this season.

Maybe the whole situation makes him realise that he also has to play the game and use some politics in order to achieve results. The Mel-Davos game this season will be very interesting and not given…. These discussions devolve so quickly! Finding the ring is not preposterous. It would absolutely happen the way it was set up. The horses created a huge pattern with an untouched patch of grass at its center. Here's what this site is all about. Every place we live better have wonderful memories - if not, you're not living life right! Will someone kindly provide a means of contacting Public Access Channel 9 Comcast so I or anyone can tell them that their on-screen time hasn't been advanced to reflect daylight savings time.

As a high-tech provider of access for educational news, it makes them look stupid. Tom, just reading over your questions on Bliss School. Irving Studley who wrote books on Attleboro's history was the principal when I went there '40s ; Mr. Gilda was talking about Shield's. Do you remember when there was nothing but an empty field there? I think that was the first company to occupy the building. Bay State moved to New York in '53 or '54 and we were out of a job unless we moved to New York with them.

We lived on Holman St. We walked everywhere growing up because we lived so close to everything. More than one car in the family was unheard of and most times not even that. It is not forever, and it is important to make those contacts. I think one of the best things about remembering the city in its former glory, it gives us a chance to remember those friends and family that made our lives more complete. S back in helped me realize things about myself then that changed the way I viewed life and people.

So don't be afraid to communicate because your words might actually change the hearts of others you don't even know. When we moved to Florida three years ago, one of my first calls was to Bob Green and his wife Sue who had moved down here quite some time before me. We had a nice chat and promised we would get together. We only live about an hour from them. We never got together and now I read that he has died at 60 and that he was preceeded in death by his wife some time ago.

Make those old contacts and see people you care about. Get together and have a few laughs. It ain't forever folks. No time like the present to act. Call again, Priscilla, I don't have your number. Hello, Jackie, wherever you are. What I personally wouldn't give to see the old teachers again, or to see how they are today! Coombs later on for third grade, who made me grow a love for books … ah, that "Charlotte's Web" break every day … I loved her reading to us … what a wonderful soul she was … so genuine. In fourth grade I had Miss Solomon, and at that point, the year was Does anyone remember the music teacher that serviced Tiffany … she was a frail woman, but nice, Miss Hesketh, I want to say.

Spit, that's so nice that you named your daughter Bethan y… to tell youthe truth I hated my name growing up … no one had ever heard of it, they used to call me Stephanie, Tiffany, etc…. Was I in any of your classes? Tiffany was the best school!! I went to Willett for 4th and 5th grade. I will tell him you said hi. I'm bringing my kids down to Attleboro for our April vacation … hang out with nanee and granpa and go to Capron … they love exploring all the places I went when I was a kid..

I take them to Hayward Field in the summer, and stuff like that. Attleboro was a great place to be as a kid … I just hope my kids feel the same way about Salem when they grow up!! Would love to hear from more people from my past!!! Yes, I remember that windy October when the woods went ablaze!

Rememeber my brother rushing into the old garage and grabbing the red can … thinking it was water to put the little fire out, but it was really GAS. I think there is a new housing development now where the woods were. My brother and I were never close nor do we speak.

It used to bother me, but I'm very close to and very much like my half brother. We even look more alike, too. Yes, you were my brother's friend, but out of all my brother's friends … you were the only one who was so nice to me and I always thought your sister were so blessed to have a brother like you. Your sisters I adored and still do. Karen I would love to see again! She was one of my very best friends, too, I would have to say … the most fun too.

She used to make me laugh so hard my sides would ache! When you see her … hug her for me. Now as for teachers at school … I had Miss Henson for first grade not my best yr and this teacher used to pinch my ear … I swear that is why one ear is bigger than the other. Lafontain 2nd grade, she was wonderful to me, but she was hard on boys. Combs 3rd grade, I learned the most from. Miss McMahon 4th grade, she was my all-time best teacher … everything I have needed or used in my life, I learned from this wonderful lady.

We moved just as I was starting Studley. That school was so different. I was afraid of the snake in the science class … remember the snake? I think it's name was Arthur. Recess you got to buy candy … now that was cool! Never thought I would miss school … but I do. Spit, you blow my mind. I know you e-mailed me and we found out we were close in age but a few years apart. I am Dan F's year, but man, you guys … teachers! I still remember her angry green eyes as she yelled at me because I was making fun of Jeff Estey. We once had a mock of a circus and somebody sold peanuts we could throw at the 'elephants.

I see them now from my mom's window at Rivercourt. We walked over there not long ago. It looked so much smaller than when I was 5! Spatcher wife of Spatcher namesake pool. She tied a boy's hair in a red ribbon because she said he was acting like a baby. I still remember his name. I was afraid of her, but liked Mrs. Scublinsky - if there is anyone out there who had her in the cafeteria-turned-classroom at Studley, well … we laugh together. We had a tall skinney guy who looked like Dick York - 'Darrin' from Bewitched.

The rest are a blur until AHS. Except a sweet French teacher in 8th grade. Shame on the jerk who put acid in his Coke. We did have respect, although I was not alone when I was occasionally skipping school in Capron Park, now was I …? Although you were always "my sister's friend," my sister always thought of you as one of her BEST friends! Your brother was somewhat of an "odd duck," what today I would describe as a bit "eccentric. Please give him my best.

As for my teachers at Tiffany, 1st grade was Mrs. I remember her as a "Plain Jane" type, a very nice teacher. I will always remember her because she used to read to the class every day after lunch. McGuire, who I remember as a pretty blonde. Nimiroski who was across the hall! The word around the playground was that you didn't want to be in that class! Of course, the legend of Mrs.

Nimiroski was larger than the lady herself, but for a 4th grader, it was a serious life-changing event! Flag Day ceremonies were always memorable because the festivities coincided with graduation, the end of school! We would sing patriotic songs for our parents out on the basketball court which is now a tennis court for the condos. I also remember playing batball and hopscotch in the paved schoolyard. Home plate was near the corner of the school building near the door where you used to clap out the erasers and the batter always tried to hit the ball hard enough to get it over the hill into the street, but no one ever could reach it.

Maybe steroids would have helped. You captured all the wonderful memories and I so miss those great times. Your family was very special to us, and I so miss your sisters. I wish Bob could have met you and your family … you guys made living in Attleboro fantastic. I know he would have enjoyed your friendship … you were such a cute boy and great friend to all. I remember those heavy swinging doors! Got my first black eye from one.

First grade, Miss Henson's class. Do you guys remember all the teachers names you had? I do and often think of them. I loved that school. School used to have a Christmas program every year and field day was awesome! Still have my relay ribbons! Thanks for the memories! I agree with spit, the city was a great place to grow up. Yes, there were some tough times and tough people, but I don't think a city is able to be an abuser, generally people are abusers.

After a certain period of time you move on to brighter things,or in some cases move on to different places. One thing I do miss after all these years is the blade meat sandwiches. If the city is such an abuser then the blade meat sandwiches must have dulled the pain for many. Rock on Tiffany school! Rock on Tim A wherever you are. And hats off to the P. These are just a few of the vivid memories from growing up in Attleboro.

There are literally hundreds more. Bob, either you really didn't grow up in Attleboro or you didn't get out much. Where were you when all this was happening? Just wanted to say HI! I remember you from Tiffany School. First row, first seat! I remember your brother Timmy from Tiffany also. Hope all is well with you and yours. I always thought your first name was so pretty and unique that I named one of my daughters after you. She's going to college this year. After my dad told us that we were distant relatives of the 2nd and 6th Presidents, I always thought of you as a distant cousin.

Tiffany School … wow, I can still hear those heavy swinging doors in the corridors. The ceilings were so high, and the hard-wood floors so seasoned over the years, that whenever you walked alone or went through one of those doors you echoed. What a charming "old school" type of school she was in the day. I remember snack time, and getting a glass bottle of milk from Bliss Brother's Dairy with the paper flip cap, for 4 cents. I can't imagine what it must look like in there anymore, now that they've made condos out of those rooms! And Tom, I learn something new everyday from you, my kindred spirit … the little red realtor's office on Bungay Road was a little school house?!

It's so nice to check out the Guestbook and see everyone's memories of Attleboro. I have one, walking up County Street in the 6th grade on my way to choir practice at the Second Cong. Church … oing by the pPizza shop … stopping in the the little store next to the church for penny candy … I can't think of the name. I also remember while I was at Brennan having the biggest crush on this one guy. I think he may have written in to the Guestbook … Dan F. Growing up in Attleboro was great. I go back to see my parents and sister. I don't know if I would ever move back there after living in NH for all these years, but it was a great place to grow up!!

You poor saps are remembering a place that never existed. Attleboro was a toxic slave-holder enclave that only a few managed to escape … and even those who escaped, as evidenced by some of these posts, never really got far enough away. Attleboro was the abuser, we were all the victims, and now we fondly recall the abuser. Everybody in this blog needs a crisis counciler … and maybe a good law firm to file a class action to recover damages from the cesspool called Attleboro. Thank God the mills have closed and all they are good for now is to provide bedrooms for Boston-bound commuters!

At least they are not killing people any more. I worked at Shields during the Seventies not sure of the year for a short time. It later became Dante and I returned to work mothers' hours. Years later I visited a friend soon after the apartments were built. As you would imagine, it was entirely changed from the factory to what it is today. Her apartment was beautiful. I walked in and was sorta in awe knowing that I had once walked in the building that was once a factory. Speaking of condos … I know it's been a long time, but I just can't imagine anyone actually living inside of Tiffany School!

He was on the lower level on the left in the front. He couldn't figure out why I had immediately burst out laughing. So, I explained that he was now living in the boy's bathroom! Does anyone remember a kid at Tiffany who got hit in the eye with a rock? I think his name was Steve Witherell? I only remember this because his eye swelled to the size of a softball and was black and blue for months.

What a lovely Web site! Do you have a dog track? Wonder Chef had the best fish and chips in the world! Me and the 'ghetto' kids used to walk up there all the time for pizza and grinders. Aww, man, to get a good Greek non-chain pizza in VA! I will be flying home for it again to see Mom, even thought the damn D. Cherry Blossom Festival is the same dates again. When will I ever see it? May we see our Mr. D'Arconte flashing his butt in a red thong again this year? Their rendition of Monty Python's "Men in Tights" was priceless … you guys gotta go see this play!

How refreshing to click on to this site and read "normal" reports of old memories. I gave up looking at this site a few months ago, after seeing the same people sniping at each other. Went by my first job recently, Shield's, and it has turned into condos. I'd love to see the inside! I meant Sanford St. For Dan and Spit: What do you mean "we'll catch up"? I know it's not the former Bliss School, nor the single-room little red schoolhouse at the intersection of North Main and Bungay Road. Who was the principal, the music teacher, the bus driver and the janitor at Bliss School when Pearl Harbor was attacked?

How many flavors of ice cream are served at Bliss Brothers and which is the most popular? Who provides and places the American flags on the veterans graves in Attleboro on Memorial Day? I agree with the postings in here of late, thus my frequent return: I don't think The Sun Chronicle intended for this to be a forum for political banter between citizens. It's been really nice to walk through now and then, so let's keep those memories flowing … like those of having to wear gum on the tip of my nose due to having been caught by Sister Elaine in CCD in Lonicut. Did anyone else think she bore a great resemblence to Harvey Korman?

That memory nearly took me off my feet. Was it your father or grandfather? Anyways, it put me in my place. I never chased a person before that and never have I since. Whatever happened to you? Send me an email and we'll catch up. I haven't been to this site for quite some time because the topics did not interest me. But, today, after reading many of the enteries, I was pleasently surprised. Arriving in Attleboro in the Fifties from Taunton to work I remember many of the stores mentioned and enjoyed reminiscing. It brings back memories of when Attleboro was a thriving shopping area. Was it Bob Hope who said, "Thanks for the memories.

Hey Dan, how 'bout this memory? I don't recall a problem at Wonder Chef. It was located off Falmouth Street. Delicious, warm, Italian grinders. Charlie's Pizza seemed busy to me. My honey and I would get pizza there and go back to "his" place to watch "Star Trek. Wonder Chef was on the corner of Brook and Holman Streets. Where was wonder chef located? I seem to recall it had a problem. He never seemed to have customers. Let's keep the ball rolling, folks, memories like these don't grow on trees. Oh yes - this Guestbook is an enjoyable place to visit lately.

Thanks to all who help make it this way! I lived on Northfield Rd. Norman Lyle was my neighbor. He had 3 boys. Christopher is the only one I can think of right now. Norman passed away just about a year or so ago. I think I would have remembered if it were he in the window of Houle's. Maybe he took over later on, but originally I don't believe that was him. Caruso's was a lounge on Pleasant St.

I went to school with his daughter Colleen Caruso and worked at Sturdy with her in the kitchen I remember Rocco at Saltzman's too! I have a picture of him from a family wedding from ! Another one of the nice guys!! Keep the memories coming! I apologize for the spelling of the "man in the window. From there he did buy out the service and owned it for many years. Norman Lyle was a policeman on the Attleboro force. But with the man in the window, he was known as Red by everyone. Thanks, Dawna, it was Kull's!

I enjoyed the comments about "The man in the window" and I do believe I remember seeing him up there. I think he was so noticable because everyone walked down Park Street on the opposite side. There weren't a lot of reasons to be on "that"side of the street. Maybe to browse through the 45s in Mullin's Music Shop or, for the ones with talent, to take music lessons. Then there was the Joke shop next to the Archway. I remember buying a "Car bomb" in there and placing in in a new Corvette owned by a young pharamacist in Ashley's I was about This bomb whistled and smoked and although I wasn't there to witness it, almost gave poor Dick a heart attack he was probably all of I think I bought my first Whoopie Cushion there too.

Saturday's sometimes found us bowling "Duck Pins" at the Bank St Bowling Alley whose entrance was really in the alley! Peter's Fruit Stand always had the best looking fruit on display with half a dozen different newspapers spread out for your choosing. I can still smell the fruit! I remember many townspeople that came into Ashley's for ice cream or soda. One was Phil Kakowski sp , a local sculptor. At one point he had finished a bust of JFK and showed me the check covering the amount signed by Jackie. These stories are fun to recall, and I enjoy reading similar visits to this site.

Have a great day, all! If you would like to see them I will be happy to e-mail them to you. Skitt's class, I would love to have a copy. I also worked at Saltzman's while in h. I could write a book about those nights. I think "the guy in the window" was Pete Houle, not Norm Lyle. Of course, Norm may have replaced Pete somewhere down the line. As I walk down the path of memories, I seem to remember a couple of places. Wasn't there a place downtown called Mary's? And does anyone remember a place called Caruso's?

Maybe I'm digging too deep. Oh, well, such is life. Where do you find photos of Attleboro? And yes I remember that fight between Dino and Foreman. What a city, I tell you. They had the most unusual, great-tasting pizza. Dad would come home with it on Friday's when we lived on Holman Street in the very early' 60s. Sheild's was still open behind it and was a factory of some sort. There was also a building in front of Wonder Chef, on the corner Does anyone know what it was? I think it still stands abandoned today. And thanks, Tom, for the name of the infamous "man in the window"!

I think I may have gone to school with his kids, Debbie, Diane, if that's the same Lyle. Reading this Guestbook has been the best boost to a day's end check nightly for me of late. And remember when the Common was lit up very well for Christmas. What a time to be a kid, or teenager, it was. If I could go back and do it all over again, I surely would. I hope to see more entries, more rekindled, kindred connections to you all. What, if anything, is going on with the Foster building? I spent 28 years there from around to I know it was turned into a den of?????

But what since then? I have heard rumors about condos and such, but nothing concrete. Anyone know whats going on with it? I wish I could explain the good days better but suffice to say, I and many other hard and dedicated employees gave the Boot's family some nice income and they treated us fairly good until the roof fell in under T. So many memories about downtown Attleboro in those heady days. Yes, he was a policeman and he had a trash truck and picked up trash on the side with his son. He sure was a hard worker and one of our good customers at Saltzman's where I worked part time.

Good old Rocco since passed away would shorten a pair of trousers on the spot if it meant making the sale. No 2 or 3 days waiting and no charge either. Even "the guy with the pipe" who managed Floyd's would come and have Rocco tailor pants to save HIS sales. And the old Capron Park during a warm spring or summer lunch hour was memorable. The Emerald Mall was the beginning of the end of all of it but times and people change.

Let's hope it was for the better but hold onto those memories anyway, they are worth it. Although he did not win, it was a gallant effort and made me feel proud to be from Attleboro. Tom's entry on Feb I believe that the office supply store was called Kull's. I love this site, it sure does bring back a lot of memories. I really enjoy this section with all the memories.

When you say the man in the window was Norman Lyle, how I remember Norman, his sister Midge and all at Jack Witschi's for roller skating. That was such a good time in my life. Being with the ones from Plainville, and all the towns around. Many friends and so much fun!!! Keep up the good work with all the messages. I am down here in Florida, and have been for 21 years. However, Plainville and that area will always be my home.

I miss you folks. It's been so long since I've been there, the memories help bring it all back. That guy in the window of Houle's Taxi? I talked with my brother Howie by phone today and he tells me that was Norman Lyle, subsequently an Attleboro policeman. Oh … the man in the window!! I had forgotten about him! How funny that we all saw him there.

Does anyone know his name? Is there anyone out there that remembers Wonder Chef? Spearin from Bliss school? What about some other teacher memories? I was sorry to hear the passing of Mr. He was a great business teacher! Always had time for his students! God Bless you, Mr. Sharkey and your family! I used to trek down there on Saturday's and buy my 45s for 50 cents!

Trying to locate Ronald Lee Mullikin. Any information will be appreciated. Contact me directly, put "Ronnie" in the subject space. Man, can we go back or what? I'm 6, all over again, walking to the Five and Dime, I can see the rows of "trinkets"; and a quick scoot, atop the spinning stools … and its nirvana, with just mom, dad and I. Speaking of memories, it is with profound sadness that I learned of the death of Coach Pensavalle. The Coach was a lasting influence on me when things got a bit tough in life. His lessons and his drive persevered and started NAHS on its long road of gridiron glory.

It was he who instilled the winning attitude in a bunch of kids back in the early fifties and it stuck. No matter what coach you honor now for having great teams at North, rest assured it was the attibutes of Coach Pensavalle many years ago that brought them from that to this. He touched so many lives in his short tenure at North. I remember when we learned he was moving on that we thought that was the end. It wasen't the end it was only the beginning because of his underpinnings. I had occasion to speak on the phone with Coach Pensavalle in the last year or so when I was trying to get my brother Roy considered for the Attleboro Area Hall of Fame.

It was then I learned that "Coach Pennsie" was not even in. I see that has been rectified now and I am happy for that. My heart goes out to his wife Betty and I wish I could be there for the service but I will be there in spirit as will my deceased beloved brother Roy. Rest in peace, Coach. God bless you and God bless your entire family. I love hearing about all the wonderful people and places we had growing up in Attleboro. I've said it many times in the Guestbook, "It was great to be a kid back then"!

Two favorite people come to mind to me today. Castro, and his little store off of County St. I remember getting a star on my Tootsie pop wrapper and he said it was good luck and it meant you got a free one. Some times he gave me a free one even if I wasn't lucky to get a star on my wrapper, but just for being a good kid, he said. Then the second person that comes to mind, the Gulf gas station in Attleboro.

The man who used to put gas in my parents car and was always wonderful to me as a little girl. All I know was his name was Andy. I never knew his last name, but every week we went to see Andy, and he would fill up my step-father's car and talk with us for hours. He was such a fun and dear man. At christmas he always had something to give his customers. I still have a christmas decoration he gave me, as well a promo he was giving customers free with a full tank of gas. It was a sing-along album of Disney songs he handed out.

I still have the album. Remember those things … ha ha? Well, time after time, some special people enter your mind that you have met along your walk in life and you just never forget them. I always think back on the people I was blessed to have met so many years ago. Store keepers, gas station attendants, the crossing guard who always kept me safe.

I can't remember his name, but he was the sweetest old man. God bless him and the milk man who used to deliver way back then, who on hot summer days used to have a frozen Ice Pop saved just for me. So many people and so many wonderful memories of Attleboro from way back in If any of the people I remember are still around, I can never thank you enough for being a special part of my life If any of these special people have passed on to new life, then God Bless you and thank you for giving me the honor of knowing such wonderful people from Attleboro!

I do remember as a kid she called the coffee frappes "cabinets. Oh, those wonderful summer days of the TI Family Days … memories come flooding back. My dad is one of the 13 Bergevine's that lived on Knight Avenue in Hebronville. He is the baby and now the only one left.

We grew up knowing all the stories of the babseball teams that played in Dodgeville and Hebronville. We heard all the stories of the 10 Mile River and how my dad got the scar on his knee. We grew up knowing about the mills that were part of the neighborhood. But the best times were when they would talk about all the wonderful people who walked through the doors of Payette's. I am also, proud to say that Tom, Ronnie to us, is my uncle. He was the baby in the LaMothe family. He moved to FL many years ago and relocated to NC only a couple of years ago.

He is also a contributor to the Guestbook from time to time. Just goes to show you that one's heart is never far from home no matter how far we roam. Thank you for your response and best wishes to you and yours. Thanks for the memory of slot car racing at The Camera Shop basement.

Do you remember they moved the slot car racing to a building on Railroad Avenue with a larger race track? And whatever became of Dale McCaughey who worked there and handled all the racers? It was neat having your name written on the chalkboard among the top 10 fastest cars! I may have submitted this before and if so, forgive me. I just became eligble for Medicare. Anyway here it is. The jingle went; "Burger Chef a nickel and a dime, Burger Chef gives you more every time.

A nickel and a dime will get french fried potatoes, big thick shakes and the juciest, tastiest hamburgers yet. Also having worked the better part of my working life in Attleboro, I surely remember the guy in the window and Peter's Fruit Stand and scones at that bakery near the arch. Was it the Cottage Bakery? I worked at Saltzman's part time for 15 years and for Foster's for 28 years and recall Cony Island hot dogs and Heagney's and Kids Town when it was across from London's and the current police station was the Elks Lodge.

What a teeming little city it was. Every storefront was active with real stores. Milady's was a bustling department store and Woolworth's lunch counter had decent hot dogs. Banks were few but friendly and never charged fees for service like they do now.

In the happier days of my marriage to the mother of my children, Attleboro had a huge part. A twin bill at the Union with your love interest on a Saturday night and hanging at Bobby's on Bank Street. Keep in mind I was a North Attleboro guy and we had our own places too, but Attleboro was, in those days, "going to the city.

If Kevin can bring Attleboro back to its former glory, then good luck to him. I do not think it possible, but maybe it can produce better memories for its current citizens both old and young. Deb, I remember the Chinese restaraunt. At one time it was where the sub shop is now. I remember Joy Hing on Pleasant Street! My mom loved their chow mein sandwiches. My dad used to bring her one home as a surprise. I also remember the 'man in the window'…and the jewelry shop on the first floor, selling every kind of incense there was.

We used to go there during the "Sidewalk Sales. London's was in full swing, both floors. And Coney Island 2 with sauce! A smile came to my face, Don, remembering "the guy in the window. He certainly was an icon, always leaning over the window and looking out at the the folks and cars going by.

The Archway is long gone, and Burger Chef is now yet another, much-needed bank for the Attleboros. Do you remember further down on Pleasant Street, there was a Chinese restaurant, across from what was Pleasant Pharmacy? Dan's comment on Houle's Taxi. It was next to a 2nd floor barber where my Bliss School classmate's father worked Dorothea Trainer's dad. The Archway was originally the Park Hotel Lounge before fire damage. My brother Roger Dusty was both a customer and bartender there. I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's death.

We were family friends. Your grandmother and my mother worked together and were best of friends. I spent many an afternoon from Feb-May chatting with your mom as she served up coffee cabinents called frappes in RI - a milkshake with coffee icecream at Payette's.

He had converted the bar a few years earlier. I spent on Knight Ave. The Camera Shop on Saturday mornings, where you could go down stairs to race cars. Or old Tony the shoe man. Seeing as everyone is talking about the old days of downtown, can you remember the Archway Hotel downtown? And do you remember looking up at the window of the Houle's Cab company and seeing that guy up there every day. And I was wondering whatever happened to Burger Chef?

And does anyone still skate on Morse's Pond? Thank you, Tom Johnson, for the memories of Attleboro. I have a question though about Payette's. Growing up we always heard stories of different people they knew from the days at Payette's. Somehow I can't picture Mom working the bar. This would have been in the late '48 - I'd love to hear from anyone who knew my parents, especially my mom, who we lost in January of ' Thanks for the memories.

I've enjoyed reading everyone's recollections of old Attleboro. The only problem is it reminds me that I'm getting old. I remember most of what's been brought up. How I enjoyed your walk down memory lane, Tom. It was strikingly vivid, and though I was not so much as a thought yet, I could actually picture Attleboro, 'in the day. I thought my own memories were kindred, but yours by far were warm, and heartfelt just what I'd like to see more of in here.

Kudos, to you, and please do share more! And hello to you Cindy: I graduated class of ' I will definitely contact you! What days those were, those real-life "Happy Days" I refer to them now. What a time it was to be a teenager … even if your glasses were run over by the lawnmower man at Capron Park, while you were "taking the day off" only once, mind you and you had to explain the 'ruins' to your folks! Tom Ashley's comment and the Ashley Block. That recessed stairway once led to a movie theater and its name was engraved above the entrance.

Payette offered a free buffet spread for the paying customers. My father would sometimes sneak in one or two of his eight boys for a snack. Directly outside was a trolley car track and the trolley would travel down Park Street circa when I was 6. Beyond that was Cooper's news stand. Its upper floor was the majestic marble staircase entrance to the Bates Theater. I think the horses pulled the trolley cars and the fire wagons. Capron Park and the Sunday concerts and Cracker Jacks. And the crowds of shoppers on Saturday night throughout downtown, especially during the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays.

Bowling and setting pins at Maxey's on Wall St. The only mall was Pall Mall cigarettes but the only cigarettes available were Fatimas from Densmore's. So we settled for Hardtack candy. Such sweet times so what we had cardboard in our shoes and hauled dried prunes, raisins, apricots and oatmeal from the welfare center on County St.

We're the same age with a lot of the same memories. Did you graduate from AHS in '78? I'd like to hear from you. Just e-mail me and maybe we can "relive" some memories of the past that we went through together. Does anyone remember going to our "in town discoteque," The Latern Lodge? During high school it was the place to go on those Friday and Saturday nights it was legal then to drink at 18 Can someone tell me what it is today? It's called The Oasis, but any given time you go by there, you can spot, one, sometimes, six cars parked there.

What a shame to see it so dead. I still look at it as I drive by, I suppose waiting to see a tell-tale sign or a spark of all over again. As a relatively new visitor to this site, I was pleasently surprised to see an exchange concerning my dad's building. Joel had it close. I remember a cobbler shop, the office supply store, a store called Fine's fabrics , Jay's, then the drug store. An ally separated the drug store from the Camera Shop. I believe Fine's and the shoe store where Ashley Building residents. I remember a recessed stairway on the north corner of the Park Street side of the building that accessed law offices, a beauty palor, a dentist and jewlery repair shop on the second floor.

I think there was a driving school up there for awhile also. I'm struggeling to come up with the name of the office supply store, but nothing is registering starts with K??

It does bring back some great memories. With more input from other vis itors to this site, I'm sure we'll eventually rebuild this block accurately by way of "Memory Lane". Rich Howard, where did you read that I was against people having opinions? Please re-read my letter. Does it sound like I "jumped all over" someone? Anyone who has read your rants in the past will know that is your approach, not mine. I believe Ashley drug store was there and a shoe cobbler, Jay's Shoe Store was there also.

Also remember a store to buy school supplies ,but do not remember the name. Hope this helps you. John Morin, since you have moved to the Sunshine State I need your real e-mail address so I can tell you what Jack really says about you now that you are not here. Hey, Jack, tell John to invite us to his wedding. Is this his fourth or fifth? I believe Densmore's was right behind the Heagney's diner, which was on the corner of Park and Union which is now a Chinese Restaurant. Densmore's sold newpapers, magazines right?

Similar to Cooper's, further uptown. And I believe the Forgets owned Densmore's I think. So if I'm right, it was on Union Street, on your right if you were going down toward the theater. As far as the businesses that were in the Ashley Building, I can vaguely remember The Camera Shop dreaded memories of my mother getting my hair 'bee-hived' at the age of 8, mind you, adorned in a yellow stiff dress, sitting on a one armed love-seat, getting pictures taken by a fast-talking man in bellbottoms comes to mind here Anyway, moving forward I can't remember what was between Heagney's and The Camera Shop, but beyond Peter's Fruit stand a little ways beyond the arches, was Bibeault's Bee-bos Pharmacy.

Jump all over him, John Owen. You are very good at that. Your life's quest seems to be, "Let me have my opinions but if anyone else has one that differs, leap on them with both feet. Anyone who reads the SC knows that they only print local news they're interested in - and it always has to have their slant to it.

I feel badly for their reporters, trying to write an article about what really happens, then the editors butcher the article. Anything controversial goes in the paper because they love the muckraking. Fun things, community events are filler. Sure, a newspaper can't come out every 10 minutes, but report on local life, not local junk. Hi, I'm looking for help!
