Our first fast food was Burger Chef, too. In 1969, a friend and I skipped school one day, and put all our money into gas for his car. We borrowed a dollar from someone and went to Burger Chef for lunch. We got 2 hamburgers, 2 fries, and 2 small Cokes, for that dollar.
Clothes dryers were a cord strung across the back yard. I remember sleeping in the summer, with the windows open, no A/C. Oreo packages only had 2 rows. There was an afternoon paper. We had a milk man, and an egg lady. Gail Borden milk, in brown glass bottles, was the best! When I was in the 6th grade, a friend got the first Schwinn Sting Ray bike we ever saw. That was cool. Nobody pumped their own gas, unless they worked at the station. They checked the oil, water, brake fluid, air in the tires, cleaned windows, and some places vacumed your car. They were called service stations then. When I was in Jr. High(remember those) my science teacher, who was a nice lady, told me that my pants were too tight. Boy, was I proud.
