Vague memories of my youth

[jerrob]

A trip down Memory Lane, got any vague memories of your youth to share?
Mine are mostly food related because I'm me, but they all have one thing in common, they were all great places that are gone, gone, gone.

Satellite Drive-In on Madison Ave.
Virginia Grill on Washington St.
Porky Lane Grocery Store and farmer's market on W. Morris St.
Woolworth's Diner in Greenwood
Emro's Sporting Goods downtown Indy.

Neighborhood grocery stores. The one around the corner from where I grew up had a little deli area where you could get a sandwich that the lady would make for you. Probably every baseball card I still have came from that little store. I used to go there when I was 6-7 years old and buy cigarettes for my dad.

Some of my memories are more WRONG than vague, lol.
I got the Tee-Pee and Satellite's location confused, the Satellite was in Twin-Aire area.

There is a blast from the past. I have eaten many times at QL’s. Great BBQ, I have had him BBQ ham’s and turkey’s in the past for me. I sure do miss his cooking.

This may be lost on a lot of you since this was out of state: Naugles Tacos had the best “macho nachos” with green sauce…

Anyone remember the sub sandwiches they sold at K-Mart?

Ice skating at Willow Slough for hours.
Playing Little League baseball, a chili dog and ice cream cone after the game (Fowler).
Hiding leftover beers in a culvert so we wouldn't get caught.
Driving to Illinois to buy beer cause you had to be 21 in Indiana.

So many great memories, I could fill pages.

Waking up feeling the dread of going to school then remembering it's Saturday

SAP'S donuts. I grew up a half mile from the plant in Columbus; the smell of freshly baked donuts is a fond memory.

The constant smell of diesel smoke coming from the test cells at Cummins Diesel Engine Co. on the far side of Columbus, has another, less pleasant, memory attached to it.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Home made gunpowder in junior high

Yep, and you could buy everything you needed to make it at your local drugstore!

I'm not sure that the statute of limitations has run out on some of my more memorable youthful memories!

Ah, but the girlfriends!!
