I ws 6 and remember my mother riding the bus into town to buy a 5 cent spool of thread to make a costume for me for the May Day. There were very few 2 car families, they still had vegetable vendors that rode around the neighborhoods to sell produce, there were ice cream wagons, by the time I was 19 gas was 25 cent a gallon, and a gas war made it 19 cents per gallon. What happened to our safe world? I was allowed to walk a mile to a neighborhood grocery to purchase a treat, penny candy.
