JT, you know I remember, I was raised right up the street from all of those places you mentioned, 1319 South Monroe Street (Thompsons Hamburgers) Telephone 29852. I had a 55chevy, a 56 chevy, and a 67 camero. Then came Uncle Sam and Viet Nam salute3 . Put an end to all the fun. But the memories will never die. God Bless The USA.
