Owensboro, KY, 1961: We had a place called "Red Barn", where you could get 10 hamburgers for $1. Then 8, then 5, then 1 for $1. Then it was gone. Three of us could stuff our faces good for a buck.
My grandmother's fruit salad, 1957-1987. No words can adquately describe how good this stuff was.
Friday nights, 1960-62: My mother made popcorn in a skillet and burned it 8 times out of 10 (I didn't care). Then we'd watch The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits before "reruns" was in my vocabulary.
[Yes, I'm old, too.]
Hey, Grim! I am from Henderson, KY. I remember the Red Barn. Wasn't it on Fredricka? I just had a double cheeseburger at Rally's for .99 cents. It filled me up too. I use to drink Double Cola's and Zero Candy Bars. My favorite was P-nut Butter and Baloney sandwiches. In fact , I still eat them.
