The 3rd periodic 340 Club Reunion has been postponed indefinitely

Before there was an Animal House there was a 340 Club; before there was a Dean Wormer there was a Harold "the fuck" Martin; before there was John Blutarsky or a Daniel Simpson Day there was Tim Lutter, Sil Simpson, Dan Joyce, Tim Getzloff, Dick Lichty, Jim Shay, Phil Zangari, Chris Joyce, Dave Petkosh, Mitch Herr, Kenny Giltner, Dean Staherski, Randy Brown, John Emswiler, Sue Krimmell Emswiler and myself; before there were any Delta Tau Chi pledge pins, there were 340 Club cards; before Otis Day & the Knights, the 340 Jukebox; before there were Delta Brothers there were the usual gang of idiots that congregated at 328, 340 (twice) and 338 West King Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for a decade beginning in August 1974. This blog is dedicated to those idiots and those times. God bless Kenny, Mitch and Chris; may they rest in peace.

Zangari's South


Purchased in August,1977 by my dad,John "Pop" Zangari , this was another of the West King Street denizens favorite haunts. Several alumni of the Clubs made appearances here as bartenders, Dan Joyce,Sil Simpson,Dean Staherski and myself. The pics above give no indication of what transpired inside. Passing through these doors were musical stalwarts;The Bonnie Parker Band,The Sharks,Eddie Rivers,the Down and Out Band and Lefty Lefever; Civil War re-enacting units, the 7th Tennessee,Company B,the 30th Pennsylvania,Company E, as well as a group from England; legendary hockey teams such as Chestnut Street and The Eels of Death,Leah Mellinger, IFBA Junior Welterweight boxing champion and a host of others. It was also the base of operations for many years for the Zangari's South APBA Baseball League (ZSABL). Hopefully more pictures depicting the antics and adventures inside will be posted when available.
