King of the Speare House in Lowell now holds court in Florida

What the waiter writes is no surprise, we did enjoy many good meals at the Speare House especially the filet mignon. I also enjoyed the complimentary bean dip and crackers served with the cocktails before dinner.

We also enjoyed The Windsor a lot, more casual and more friendly in those days.

Do you remeber the Wallbrook, That was a nice place. But always crowded, How was your day? More snow comming early morning, Have A Nice Day

I remember when Dick Carkin refaced the front of the spearhouse in stone and did a beautiful job.Food there was lousy..

Yes, we used to go to the Waterwheel all the time, mostly on Friday nights, the food was good there and it was a cozy place, good location on Lakeview Ave too.

Yes, I have a 12:43 tee time witha foursome today, it's going to be sunny no clouds or wind and 68 degrees just perfet for golf.

What business were you in, I thought you just closed a store of some kind? You have known Scotty at the Cameo Diner, great guy.

Have a nice day and stay warm.

I got married there a couple years before they knocked it down. From the rubble, I pulled out a piece of the dance floor, and put it on a picture frame with wedding pictures.

Maybe sla cooked for you.

something is incorrect in this story if you do the math he is 83 she is 50,together since 1976 puts her at 16 and him at 49 in 1976

I worked as a dishwasher back in the 70s and Xenophon "Zenny" Speronis was a great guy he was always great to the kids in the neighborhood, Gave us jobs and we made big bucks doing all those banquettes. Also I heard a kid john i worked with passed away several years ago, His dad was one of the big bosses Connie.
He was a great guy RIP John.
Thanks ZENNY Enjoy your retirement.

I have to say the memories of that place makes m want to cry because it's the happiest memory that has gone by. What class what a great restaurant.
Mr. Zenny Speronis thanks for the memories!
God Bless you and your family!

I believe Scotty's health was not to good and his son is now running it. Jan is a sweetheart and always made everyone feel at home. I used to go on Fridays sometimes for the seafood lunch, it was always fresh and very good.

Thanks for the info..........

Yeah it was a really great place for dinners, lunches and banquets, reunions and wedding. I also miss the Windsor, the Walbrook and Skips too. Thankfully the Olympia is still in business. It's fabulous.
