“cherry Coke, NO ICE!!”
Guptill’s is still there. Went to bars to hear bands as part of my music/drumming education. Played up at Thompson’s Lake with Little Morgan And The Pirates plus many other places. Made go karts with outings like the Game Farm and mini bikes and had a night trip to the Jericho Drive-in and watched part of Lawerence of Arabia. Did watercolors out on location.

Thanks for the memories and fun cartoon, Swaz! 42. I guess if life had stopped after 1967, it would still have been full-flavored!
Awesome list! Thanks!
