Sorry for not responding sooner Larry. A very good post. I didn't grow up in Statesboro, but I was born there & visited 3 or 4 times a year.

Minkovitz's is the only building I ever went in that had an open elevator w/ a folding screen door, an up/down handle, and a man to operate it. >When the "FAMILY" Drive-In Theatre, really was for the entire family? WWhen I was a kid, almost every time I came to Statesboro I got to see a movie either there or at the theater downtown. Then the theater by the college opened and there were more movies to choose from. :) >When a trip to McConnels and/or McClellans was a great way to spend the >day, spending your allowance? One of these was the 5 & Dime between the (old) Winn Dixie & Sears catalog store? >When EVERYBODY "came to town" on Saturday? Yep. >When you referred to your doctor as Doctor Johnny, or Doctor Albert, or >Doctor Bird, and everybody knew who you were talking about? I think I was delivered by Dr. Johnny. >When the Coke float from Ellis Drug Company was better than it had to be? Is that the place that was a couple of doors up the street from Minkovitz's? I remember getting real cherry Cokes at the soda fountain... >Can you add others? Do you remember when you could get a big bag of candy for a quarter at Tupperville's Store out Rt. 3? JDM
