Both ways.

Everyone always chuckles when they read this.



For me it was true. Except it was three miles, not two.



Right next to the school was one of the main rail yards into town. Over that set of tracks was a huge steel bridge. You guessed it - uphill both ways - balanced by the downhill side of course.

Dreamsicle anyone?

We didn't have many choices for shampoo either. Breck, Head and Shoulders and Clairol. Then they came out with a shampoo called "Gee your hair smells terrific."
