I don't want to say since his mom now lives there!!!! But, it is on a main road and it is on the water. You can see the top of the greenhouse from the road. The bell to open the gate is right out on the road- you don't have to get out of the car to ring it.

Default Hufco or Commander?

Hufo & Commander oil are gone huh? I used to work for Hufco oil back in the late 80's. And do you remember the Commander trucks with the german shepard plastic dog on the top of their repair vans?

Dont forget TSS Times Square Store in Levittown and Woolworths remeber the lunch counter in Woolworths, they hung balloons above the seats and you could pop a balloon and inside was a slip of paper with a price written on it, that was the price you would pay for a bannana split.

Or the pet department where you would buy one of those little turtles for 25 or 50 cents. The ones that after a week or two the shells would start to get soft then they would die

I used to get those. The guy in the pet department told us to feed them these little dried up things labelled "ant eggs." Actually, pupae, I now realize.

Poor little things all died of vitamin and mineral deficencies.

LOL,, I was waiting for this question! The pet department was ajacecent to the mall and no one ever was in the pet department. We use to walk in grab a plastic bag put a fish with water in it and walk out the door. It was the perfect crime, the fish never died because we walked home and put them in our tanks!
