Wow, It sure is fun reminissing about those family ran stores in Moberly. In about 1967, I remember the one over by West Elementary and also Vans IGA. Every Friday night when Dad and Mom would go dancing they would give my sister and I a whole dollar to go to the little store just a jag from Collins street. For that dollar we came back with a full small bag of penny candy, I also got a cream filled long john, and a bottle of soda. Wow, what happened to our dollar.? And stay up running the "safe neighborhood till 1-2 in the morning and behaving, Ha. and get to bed before Dad and Mom got home from their date. Sure wish we had a few of those times today.
