And so, when I talk here about places I used to hang-out, I am talking about the 1950s and early 60s.
I have never visited this corner hang-out, but it looks like a cool place for friends to gather and chew the fat, shoot the bull, swap lies, or whatever else friends might do at a place like this.
This looks like a fine hang-out. I could picture the crowd I used to run with eating ice cream cones and passing time at a place like this.
The State Fair...on a hot August night...could be a great place to hang-out. Eat some elephant ears, drink a lemon shake-up, maybe bite into whatever crazy thing is being deep-fried that year.
The Soda Bar...on the main street in New Carlisle...I did hang-out there. During my high school years, the Soda Bar was the place to hang out...during lunch break, after school, after the game. Great burgers. Couple pinball machines. Juke box. Great place.
Bonnie Doone's was a cool place to hang-out when I was a teenager. Grape flavored malts...oh yeah, I loved those things.
Not Robertsons Department Store...look further down the street, on the right-hand side...yeah, the State Theatre. With your girl, that was a great place to hang-out.
Oh well, nostalgia is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Are you remembering some of the places you and your friends used to hang-out...back in the day?
My guess is that you are smiling a bit while you do that remembering.
