   I remember when we had Blackbeard's restaurant ship downtown- the Tiki Tiki   
   restaurant- The Jean Joint all jeans- Thrifty's jeans - Husky Tower was the   
   tallest building downtown- Radio station CKXL and 66 CFR [miss them] Tivoli   
   Theatre cost 50 cents that    
   included admission, drink, popcorn- Drive In where you hung speaker on window   
   and the Dusk to Dawn all nighters -bus fare was 10 cents- milk delivery to   
   your home and houses had milk shuts to place the milk in I could go on and on.   
   loved it all!
