Do You Remember??

Do you remember?

I was reminiscing with a friend... we were talking about outings as a kid.  One thing I think is missing with all the internet stuff ... are the memories we used to have.  Do you ever wonder what a kid of 8 today will remember when they're in their 50s ??  I sure do.

I can remember being about 8 or 9, we would head out to Straw Hat pizza for our Friday night outing, then head to our local White Front.

White Front was a chain of discount stores in Southern California and the western United States from 1959 through the mid-1970s. They were noted for the architecture of their store fronts which was an enormous, sweeping archway with the store name spelled out in individual letters fanned across the top.  We shopped at the one in Sunnyvale.  Ours had a few groceries, if I recall correctly.

I can't remember anything specific that I bought especially at White Front.  Seems to me if I had to explain the kind of store it was to someone these days, I would liken it to a BigLots. 

What do you remember doing when you were 8 ???

In 1970 you could hear Janis Joplin sing "Me and Bobby McGee"  (link here)
