Hardly ever drink any sodee-pop, so I guess I just never paid any attention. Now, can you remember when they cost a nickle from the machines? :biggrin

Ham and Bean?!!!! That's what I'm making tomarrow for dinner.
We had Chinese for lunch, so I'm still stuffed. Plenty of room for a few Labatt's Blues. :cheers2
That meatloaf looks real good.
And Feeserman's beef stew, I drooled on myself.
i ain't as old as you Neon, born in '69. I do remember walking about a mile to the local store (we were 15 miles from any kinda town) and buying a coke for .20c. It was a mom and pop operation, run by Mr. Robert Lee Ferguson and his wife. It was built into a hillside, the store was upstairs and they lived down stairs. I remember to this day them taking me for a ride on the old, open service elevator that let them go back and forth, it scared me to death as a child. I would hold on to the rail like i was 10 stories high, LOL. One of my cousins now owns the place and has converted it into a very nice home.
BTW, I hardly ever drink soda either. It just doesn't taste the same as when i was a kid and only had it as a treat.
I know excatly where ya talkin bout, my families old homeplace is rite down the road, course it was only about half a mile from the store, guess they was sho nuff uptown lol.
yeah, it was a hub of activity in its day. Back then, i thought the worlds ends were Mashulaville and Louisville.
No pics but we had Meatloaf minus the catsup with onion soup mixed in,English peas and Mac and cheese. I'm like Neon gives me indigestion but eat it anyway. Last night made pinto beans with bone out of Christmas ham, fried taters and corn bread.
Northern beans with ham, greens, fried taters and cornbread. 3 small dill pickles to cure the indigestion, followed by a few PBRs.
That soup sure looks good.
The onion at Texas Roadhouse taste better to me.
That's one good thing about cooler temps, ham and bean weather. They just don't seem to work when it's 95* out.
