[OT] - Re: Do you remember?

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Hi 10 cents to get into the movies or the swimming pool ( for the day )
Heath candy bars  yum 5 cents
some old people still wore button shoes
spittoons in bars
sleeper and diner cars on trains
and tracks where the wheels sang clickity clack becuase the rail was hooked
together every 60 feet or so not every quarter of a mile
