I remember walking home from school and stopping at Carters for an icee and a bag of chips. Sounds like you had lots of Icees and chips in your time... |

Kind of OT but in "Bowling for Columbine," which was shot in 2001, Michael Moore keeps hearing that all Canadians keep their doors unlocked so he decides to go around and try it. Sure enough, he tries several doors that are unlocked.

Man, ya'll are going way back. PoppaEagle topped me on some of the things he remembered. I have got to say that Crossett has been a perfect Norman Rockwell memory for me. We moved here in '64 when I was 5 years old, so when people ask, I'M FROM CROSSETT!! Going to the Wren Drive Inn on friday nights when a good show would back the line of cars up on the side of the road all the way to Dixie Dandy. I remember riding to allstar games with Catfish Hargroves, (my coach), and his daughter Janice, (our schools superintendent) and his son William Hargroves Jr., (absolutley one of the best baseball players ever to play here). I remember going to see the light, scared to death. For me, this has been a wonderful town to grow up in. Remember when Dane took over Wood's liittle store? My feelings are hurt a little bit for not getting at least an honourable mention for Smootys. When we opened, we tried to keep the Eagle mural on the floor when we took over the Eagle's Nest, but it just wouldn't work with the new floor. I remember kids racing across main street to come eat the buffet back when we had an open campus. I remember going to Herk's at lunch when I was in junior high at Norman, when Rick Williams would be at the counter, and Mac Ray Deal would be there helping out. All in all, a pretty good place to grow up.
