Matt Foley: Van Down By The River - SNL After their cleaning, lady finds pot in the house, parents (Phil Hartman, Julia Sweeney) hire motivational speaker Matt Foley (Chris Farley) to talk to their teens (David Spade, Christina Applegate) about drugs and their future. Aired 05/08/93

Over the years the cruising loop got shortened a lot. In the early 60's we traveled Long Ave, Brady St/Boulevard/B-Line and back again. One end was at Bailey's with the other at the rear of the old train station on Franklin St, now the Cherry Law offices. Far fewer traffic lights to contend with in those days. I'm not sure there was a traffic light from one end of the Boulevard to the other. The drag races across there were interesting as well as those from Bailey's going either direction. The interstate was just being built so the traffic on 255 was much lighter in those days. Different times, maybe not all for the better. Apologies for the digression from the original topic and the trip down memory lane.
