It really was, very walkable too. Everything we needed was within a few miles. To drive through there now you'd never know it. It actually makes me sad when I see it now because I remember it as it used to be.
That's cool. My Mom and Mrs. Werkhaven had that kind of friendship too. I bet your Mom looked to her for advice as she was raising her kids. Oh, I remember those candies! My Dad would bring them home from work around Christmas. Good memories, man. We were very lucky to grow up when we did.
Yes, she probably did get lots of advice, I was quite the handful!
