Donna in OR www.iagenweb.org/Decatur ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Hey Donna: I don't remember reading that - must have missed it; I agree it is funny.. Every town I lived in had a 'square' and we all cruised it.. My boyfriend at the time would put 25 cents worth of gas in his car and we'd ride around all Sunday afternoon... Now, try that today.... smile.. The 'empty house' you refer to - being the Decatur Co. List - seems to be on hiatus.. I, too, miss all the posts.. But, now I know where to get a tenderloin!! Nancee

I never did that, but my children used to Drag Main here in Hill City, KS. They could use a tank of gas doing this in the late 70's and early 80's.

We scooped the square in Greenfield, Adair County in the 70's plenty - a gallon of gas was .35 when I first started driving - which I had to fill from the farm barrell if I wanted to go to town 13 miles away. Apparently it was much farther coming from Greenfield as several dates were quashed for me because the boys mothers thought I lived too far away - at least that was the story I got hmmmmmm --- I remember how outraged my Dad was when gas JUMPED to .50!!!
