Now, where was I?

Oh yeah, I remember now!

I was reflecting on things from my youth when I got all caught up in complaining about the world in general and my work specifically! So anyway the town I grew up in was small, very small. It didn’t have much so what it did have had to be special or it would go belly up pretty quick. The trailer factory pretty much made the town. It employed most of the people it seemed like. We will leave the trailer factory and my experiences with it for another day though.

Today we will talk about what was my favorite place in town. The Tastee-Freez, it wasn’t much but I loved the place. Whenever I went there I always got either a raspberry or chocolate shake and a pizza burger, the good kind with the cheese in the middle of the burger that dripped out and stuck to you like blazing hot napalm. Oh but burning your lower lip was so worth it when it came to those bad boys.

Like all good things though it had to come to an end. As people started venturing outside the city limits to do their shopping they also started eating out somewhere else too. The building itself was always the home of some ice cream shop or another. Oddly I can’t remember the names of them. The last time I looked it was still there but I didn’t have the heart to go in. I was sure that it just wouldn’t live up to my memories of it and sometimes our memories are all we have!

  1. The blog looks good, Amigo. I’m in a rush, will be back after work to visit. Have a good day, hear?

  2. Omigosh Jeff, you just reminded me of a place I used to go as a kid called The Hub. They had the best pizzaburgers I ever ate. And I’ve never had another one as good. What you said about blazing hot napalm made me lol.
    You got lots of interesting stuff here. The geek in me wants to find out how to get some free stuff ;-) And what the heck is a FlogMaker? I need to click on that puppy.
    A wonderful and Blessed Easter to you and your Family.

  3. I spent 8 years in Ticonder0ga, New York, on Lake Ge0rge. A beautiful place to live.
    But at any given time, there were no more than 3 restaurants, none spectacular. I remember the thrill when a Mc D0nald’s opened up. Every kid wanted to work there. It actually was a great addition, because it was a place to meet with friends and have coffee, and (in my case) breakfast. Now I live in Bucks County, PA, and the shopping and restaurant opportunities continue to grow. I wonder which is best.
    Happy Easter to you and your family.
