We Miss the Cherry Hill Roller Rink, Drive-Ins & 24-Hour Diners

What South Jersey and Philly used to have — and lost. Comedian Joe Matarese and co-host Dan run down the diners, drive-ins, dance clubs, and hangouts that defined growing up in Cherry Hill and the Philadelphia area, and ask why so much of it disappeared.In this episode: 24-hour diners (Sage, Golden Dawn) traded for car washes and McDonald's, the Cherry Hill and Echelon roller skating rinks, teen dances and dance clubs like Anchante and Tailgaters, the Galaxy live-music venue, South Street and Jim's Steaks, Discount Harry's and the Best Products catalog, drive-in movie theaters, South Jersey traffic circles, the Garden State Racetrack, the Latin Casino, and just hanging out at the Cherry Hill Mall before the code of conduct. Plus listener voicemails, a little Utah detour, and Joe's classic break-dancing disaster.If you grew up in South Jersey, Philadelphia, or anywhere in the Delaware Valley, this one's pure Gen-X nostalgia.🎤 Catch Joe Matarese live — tickets and tour dates at his website, the link in his bio, or the venue sites.📞 Leave a voicemail for the show: 914-721-0008
