One of the more popular places when I was a boy was McEwan's "Corner Store" on the corner of Cedar Lane and Sylvan Avenues, where a kid could buy penny candy for a penny, an ice cream soda, a 10 cent "Comet" model airplane or.......well, read one of the columns I wrote back in 1989.
Love this column Tom:)
ReplyDeleteI remember the bubble gum machines

Mosquitos were bad.. but lightning
bugs were cool :)
