Place: Lake Fork Comments: Paul, where on Fordham Rd did you live? My address was 1618 Fordham.
Place: Lazy S Ranch Comments: SNL, my first wife lived on Kingsley.
Place: Edmond Comments: I just checked Google maps. Autry’s is still there.
Place: Richardson Comments: Mario, funny story about Autry's. Mom, me and my younger brother would walk up Kingsley the 3 blocks from our house on Kildare during the summer to buy a few small things we could carry home. We were taught to call him Mr. Autry. My brother, who was about 4, could never remember his name. Mom told him to remember his favorite cowboy, Gene Autry. Next trip to the store mom said to him, "and what do you say", my brother replied "Thank you Mr. Roy Rogers!" Mr. Autry laughed so hard and my mom was speechless. True story.
Place: Mckinney, Tx Comments: Sandy, Autry’s had the best chopped beef sandwiches, and would be the place to go in the mornings on our way to Zumwalt & back home for a moon pie and an RC cola along with a couple small bags of peanuts...grapette & a chocolate soldier every now and then if you could find them down in the ice water at the bottom of the metal containers by the door.
Place: Edmond Comments: You all are getting me nostalgic. I miss those small businesses. For me, the “go-to-the-store-for” was baseball cards. My friend, Roger, and I would walk 15 minutes or so from Fordham Road to the dime store whose name I can’t remember to get them. If we got Cokes, I would get irritated because I gulped mine down and Roger, who was a savorer, still had more to enjoy of his Coke after mine was long gone. 😡. I‘m mad now, in fact. 😉
Place: Lazy S Ranch Comments: Sam, Carl's had the best candy rows in town. Right across from the Church of Christ and down from the barber shop on Ann Arbor. All within bicycle range from 1322 Waweenoc.
Place: Richardson Comments: I don't remember Carl's but, our little store was Autry's on the corner of Lancaster & Kingsley. I would ride my bike the 3 blocks up to Autry's and get milk & bread usually 1 to 2 times a week. I never paid any money so I guess it was on a tab. Of course Mr. Autry knew us, so he knew whose tab it went on. Those were the days, I could ride my bike anywhere and there were no problems or worries about me getting kidnapped.
Place: Lake Fork Comments: Hey you Lisbonites, Do you guys remember Carl’s Grocery Store? We went there during the week to get groceries and Carl just put it on our tab. Daddy got paid on Saturday and we took cash to Carl’s to settle our tab.
Place: Overland Park, KS Comments: I vote for Standard Time - all of the time, everywhere. ⏰
Place: Sachse Comments: I vote for standard time, year round!
Place: Richardson Comments: I'm with you guys, let's set them forward tonight and STAY on DST. Period, that's it! Quit making us change everything twice a year. If the Federal Gov. would take it to the people I believe an overwhelming number would vote to keep it at one time. my vote would be DST year round.
Place: Edmond Comments: Don, let’s set the clocks ahead once and forever.
Place: LV, TX Comments: Geez, wish we could have a national referendum to pick ONE time zone. Can't adjust the Earth's seasonal changes by messing with the clocks every 6 mos., so why not leave 'em alone and just go with it? Some states and countries already do and they seem to be just fine! ![[comp]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/comp.gif "Comp - :comp:") H a p p y B i r t h d a y !!! wishes go out to Sandra McMakin Crowe, today, Mar. 12th! Sandy – Hope you’re having a great one today with family and loved ones. Best wishes for many more to come!
Place: Richardson Comments: Hard to believe it's already time to lose an hour this weekend! Don't forget to set your clocks forward Sat night, or Sun morning, as it's DST again! |
