I remember, fifty-fifty though nosotros used the term 'city' to depict the town, it was not; think along the lines of a metropolis Mayberry. The town's principal commerce pretty much consisted of the fundamental street running from the prepare depot in addition to underpass to the courthouse upwards on the hill. Now, downward the loma close the depot were many stores including my uncle's hardware shop in addition to across the street was ane of our favorite eateries that served many of the townsfolk.

And correct dab inwards the center, conveniently located for everyone was the local bank. Now I must holler that to larn from downtown to uptown took all of v minutes; walking that is. It was much faster inwards a car, including beingness held upwards at the stop-lights.

I also recollect pretty much everyone inwards the urban meat eating fish on Friday's. I am non for sure why, it wasn't because of religion, non that nosotros were non a religious town, merely non Catholic. Grandmother usually served bream similar bluegill or shellcracker, or what-ever had been caught in addition to stored inwards the freezer. Momma liked the newfangled fish-sticks.
