Heaven forbid! The world has enough empty malls as it is! I miss the old store on Hwy. 56 with the screen door and rockers on the porch. I can remember going in there to get candy out of jars on the counter and the hum of the old coke machine.... the kind with the glass bottles. It was a real treat one year when the owner got a freezer and stocked it with Ice Cream Sandwiches and Fudgecicles! wmcconne <[email protected]> wrote: In any case the Gizzard is damned forever to be know nas the Fiery Gizzard until someday when they build a shopping mall and condo's there and name it after the builders granddaughter. :o) Bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, February 18, 2006 1:10 PM Subject: Re: [TNMARION] Fiery Gizzard >In a message dated 2/18/2006 12:53:23 PM Central Standard Time, >[email protected] writes: >The one I like best is that the >indian tribes had a big meeting in the Gizzard and were roasting some >turkey's.
