The kid & I were talking about cruising & we were at the auto store & I walked him over & showed him how we would whip out of McDonald's with our cars side by side & cruise down & turn around at the library. His reply was, " we were lucky". Just the look on his face as he gazed down the boulevard & I explained that there were a few less stop lights on the route. I was so happy to have this experience with him & it was without a damn smart phone in his hand or hearing about the lastest meme.

The library?!?! That must have been the shortened "straight-line" route when cruising was starting to flatline. Back in the early- to mid-80's, it was out of McDonald's with a right at Park, down to Shankel's and left up through town. Of course, that was when there were actually a few things, other than old-age homes, still in the downtown area.

I'm going to guess it was around 1990 to 1991 that they moved. I'm real curious to learn the exact date. Crusin' McDonalds to the library over and over was the thing. Those were truly great times.

Got mine all in and everything is up and growing although my plants took a beating with the heavy wind and rain and I do have some washout areas. Not sure how things look after last nights deluge. I Have been enjoying green onions for a while and will harvest some lettuce in a few days! Looks like a couple dry days first of the week so good luck getting your planting done!
