Smartee's Pizza Brigade (more locally known as Smartee's Parties) was a restaurant akin to Chuck E Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre and Showbiz Pizza Place in Toledo in the 1980s. Smartee's lasted roughly October, 1st 1982 - November, 1983. The found media we do have at this very moment is a handful of ads, higher quality photos, and the concept sketch photos. What I am looking for is the showtapes (if they are out there) and photos of the showroom and animatronics inside. (and videos if possible (edit) )

Not many people are interested in looking for Smartee's stuff there unfortunately iirc. (I'd know I am part of it haha).

Toledo was the only location. There isn't much of it online besides me trying to look for it.

I recently tried reaching out to Fred Treuhaft on Twitter from his twitter post who is said to be friends with the owner and knows a great deal a about it. Previously, I tried calling him and sending a email to his work Email to not get a response. Hopefully it works but his recent post is from earlier this year so my hopes aren't up.

I should also try to reach out to the kids but I don't know if they'd know anything considering the wife of Anthony Falzone (owner) didn't want to comment.
Edit: sent a email to one of the daughters and it didn't get sent back to me. hopefully I get a response.

I got a response from the daughter and she said she unfortunately doesn't have anything from Smartee's. However, I did send a follow up email asking her if she knows anyone else I can talk to who might.

She recommended the friend of the founders daughter! The friend of the founder did a lot of projects with him so I'm hoping she might know if they did Smartee's or not (since she herself wasn't so sure if he did Smartee's with him).

I also asked for the contact information since whitepages and other stuff like that has it behind a paywall

I'll be sending a email his way right now.

A very small update. The daughter said in her email that she doesn't know if the friend of the founder worked around the time Smartee's was open. I believe he did. This is a clustrmap link for the location and it has his name on it along with the founders in the description.
