Used to be a red house, I believe. I liked going to him anytime I needed a physical for school sports or something like that. He basically just made sure your heart was beating and signed the papers. I still remember that stuffy waiting room with the creaky Victorian chairs
That could be it my parents have passed so there is nobody I could ask. I think I went last in 1980. You can sit there for a couple hours because he would always take the babies first. That was way before doctor's in a box like they have now. Downtown West Warwick was hopping in the '60s and 'early 70s. Midland Mall hurt a lot of shopping for small towns.

That's for sure. Even after the mall though, I remember us going there for Seena's, Maxine's, the Shoe Box, Service Shoes, Arctic News, the Donut Kettle, Newberry's - lunch counter with mom! - Robert's Toy Store, the Music store, Rexall's. Sears was before my time though.

That reminds me, the Hong Kong Restaurant is still open. Not the Woos anymore but I hear it's good. I should check it out. Oddly enough that was the first place I ever had whole belly fried clams! As a child I was intimidated by Chinese food but I guess I was fine with clams and there's were great

West Warwick residents on edge after overnight standoff

"Georgio watched from the street as police, guns raised, swarm a home shortly after 9:30 p.m.

"It was scary. It was like world war three over here. Not what you want to be coming home to," he said.
For several hours, SWAT teams dressed in tactical gear surrounded the Harris Avenue home."

Fried clams at a Chinese restaurant? Hmm. They're not on the current menu for Hong Kong Restaurant.

Not surprising. My childhood was a long, long time ago and the place has had a few owners in the interim.

And back then there were a lot more people who wouldn't eat meat or chicken on Friday so they had American seafood plates.
