Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4255394, member: 591"] You don't remember Ballentine Beer? Shades of my youth. It is now a subsidiary of Pabst and the name isn't much used. I don't think it was very popular, but I think it was still around in the '70's when I was in college. The MTA is NYC's transit authority. They don't use tokens any more. I still have a couple somewhere. I was still working in NY when they switched to the swipe cards, which were better. Except, when my wife and I were in NYC a few years back on our one trip east (meeting someone at Katz's and then going to the WTC memorial) none of the machines at the Station were working to buy a card and we had to take a cab.
