Yes, I remember it well. We had a country then and shoved everyone else around. Much preferred to the pollution of chaos, ignorance and poverty of today. John--Las Vegas

Just saw that in some old pics of gas stations touting we use 10% corn alcohol and it was from the 50s or 60s. Another thing we or most thought was new and isn't.

Roadside americica is my fave site for finding things to look at that aren't mainstream. Maybe i need to take a detour this summer when i go to eugene and check it out as it's still in the right direction, can take 205 instead of the usual I-5.
