when I was at Walmart the other day this lady in front of my had a carton of 6 bottles of strawberry pop. The sight of that took me back to my childhood.
I remember going into town(we lived in the country) to Glanzman's grocery store. This was late 50s early 60s. They had clothes for the farmers tractor parts boots groceries dry goods etc. I remember the only time I had pop was when we went to Glanzmans. You could choose between Strawberry or Grape or Orange Nehi or Root Beer or Coke. That was all there was. Candy was 5 cents. and I only got store bought candy when we went to town on a weekend.
I also remember our town of 400 had a bowling alley 2 gas stations(that only sold gas and oil) a library 2 churches and one tavern. A bank and a feed store.
My grandpa used to carry a little black snap coin purse and he would give us kids all a dime. I would walk all the kids up to the dairy queen for an ice cream cone.
