If you bent a hanger just right, and made little loops to go under the screws on the 300ohm connection on the back of the TV.... might work.

Ok... how about this: The giant vacuum tube testing machine at the hardware store.

Tube testing was my friends father-in-law's business..UTM...U Test 'em

The white igloo was "The Igloo" on Douglas and Monroe.
The "Zips" were yellow I think. There was one near Whitmer.

Baseball cap sundaes.

You could use the brim as an overflow.

Remember Burger Chef? Always thought they were better than McDonalds. It was a real treat to get a burger there, instead of the greasy home made burger with regular white bread (soggy). Remember Eddie Murphy's bit about the home made burger?

My mother worked for Zip's for a while in the office doing paperwork or something.
Are any of those old igloo buildings still around??

There is a movie on Showtime right now called "The Boys of 2nd Street park". Six men reminisce about growing up in 1950's and 60's in Brooklyn, NY. True stories - not really a movie.

 

[MacGyver]

No malls. Going "downtown" to go shopping.

[BY U BOY]

Yeah. They had a good/better/best version of everything.

Ya know... I know some people with a huge house that's like 100 years old and it was ordered from the Sears catalog and delivered by early trucks.

The house 2 doors down from me is a sears craftsman home:sifone: My home is almost 100yrs old but not a sears house.
