> You know you are old, Bob, when someone asks "What's a McCrorys?"  Think of all those old store names that are no longer there.  I will confine myself to western Pennsylvania … Woolworths, Gimbels, Kaufmans, Joseph Horne, Rosenbaums, Boggs and Buhl, Isalys.

In a way, I guess I am rather glad that I vacationed in East Germany before the wall came down and saw it.   I guess, as ugly as history can be, I guess it was also good for me that I experienced the segregated southern states … black and white drinking fountains, toilets, restaurants, etc.
