Message: [QUOTE="McFly, post: 2344353, member: 7342"] I grew up in Mass. so the places are different, experiences not so much. I remember gas wars on Belmont St. Gas at 14¢ a gallon. I remember bonfires on the Fourth of July. And on VJ day. I remember Angie Scampini, probably the only Italian-American anywhere who wasn't a Yankee fan. He rooted for the quintessential underdog, the St. Louis Browns. I remember his son Roy, home from the war, taking my best friend and I with him to Rhode Island to buy firecrackers which were illegal in Mass. First time ever going 60 miles an hour. A mile a minute! Wow! I remember Bing Crosby on the radio at noon every day. "When the blue of the night......". I remember[I] Heckle and Jeckle[/I], the [I]Katzenjammer Kids[/I], and [I]Terry and the Pirates[/I]. I remember going to a Braves game. A Boston Braves game. I remember Bob Cousy and Frank Oftring playing for Holy Cross, and then starting an insurance company. I remember people getting upset when steak got up to a dollar a pound. I remember Gorgeous George. I remember [I]Your Show of Shows[/I] with Sid Caesar. And [I]Kukla, Fran, and Ollie[/I]. I remember John Wayne in commercials for Camels. I remember Priscilla.................and that's enough for memories. [/QUOTE]
