Thank you for taking us on a trip back to the town where you grew up @owasco. Good old days for sure! I remember those jars of candy. A box of matches were so cheap that we'd end up buying a couple of candies to round up the price.
I've never heard a cowbell, but quite ingenious! Nowadays we call the kids on their cellphones!
Wonderful that you're back there. Have you seen any of the people who lived there during those years?
Enjoy exploring your childhood town.
Looking forward to the photos but you've told the story so well that I can picture it all!
Wonderful memories @owasco xxx
Thank you! You're so sweet.
One of my best friends from high school moved back here about 30 years ago, after travelling the world. She got well established, and has introduced me to several very cool women - I had an instant social network soon after I arrived. I still have a few cousins here, and a strong connection to the remaining Greeks in town; when I was young, there were many Greeks, now there are about two dozen of us in all. I know a lot of people here, who knew me as a child, some of them children back then themselves. We love to talk about the old stores, the old characters. I love having all this back again.
