I had a 78 corolla Baby blue. Would do 0 to 60 in 5 miles

My cousin had a '71 Corolla... her first new car. Her brother pushed on the fender with a finger and inadvertently put a dent in it.

They've come a long ways since then.

There use to be an old man that walked the street on Sundays, shouting , "Hay Berries!" These were Strawberries. And he really was using a hand cart. Strawberries could not be refrigerated at the time so he sold out on every run. I can still remember his loud voice in the morning and remember that he used the term "Hay Berries," and not Strawberries.

We had an old man that walked the street with a wheel barrow. But he was either on his way to or from the corner store for a beer run

Cops pulled his drivers license do to DWI's. Then family took his bicycle because he was riding down the center double yellow line with the basket full of booze coming from the corner store.

Guess where he would push his wheelbarrow???? You guessed it!!!! Right down the center line of the road

There used to be an old man who would ride his wheelchair down the hill to the store for a beer run, then find somebody with a pickup to give him a ride back to his assisted living complex. Actually he would get out at the top if the hill, and roll the rest of the way home.

He was using the double yellow line to guide his wheel or tires. If he saw only one line , he knew he had to find the other one, but which side did he loose it on? Jon

There are still towns in Maine which are dry on Sunday.

There are still dry counties

Blue laws make it possible to drive through rt 17 in Paramus Nj on a Sunday. So many malls there it would be a gridlock mess on a Sunday with nobody working. We did a 10-story office building that was in the back of willow brook mall Xmas week on year and it took me 4 hrs. to get out of the parking lot .

I told my boss to shut the job down till a week after new year . He agreed. Some blue laws have their purpose.

We had the blue laws in Texas. I can remember when the Dallas Area only had two "malls" and of course they were closed up on Sundays. Local Sports Car clubs ran races on the parking lot of one of them on Sundays (one car at a time and timed). And then my job sent me to Northwestern University for the 1971-72 school year. It was quite a shock to find stores all open on Sundays up there. But by the time we came home again, the Texas blue laws had been done away with here.

I live in a dry County. It's the biggest joke though since you can get booze at the majority of restaraunts in town as well as the couple bars, VFW, and moose lodge.

Just have to drive to the next County if you want to purchase booze to take home.
