Now that was fun

I can remember them all. How about the old A & W root beer stands where you could ride your bike up to the counter and order a quart of root beer for 50 cents. It would come in a waxed cardboard contraption that looked like a megaphone.
Good old days

I remember each and every one of them and they are good memories
