Going "into town" was going to Grand Central before they became Fred Meyer
I remember the Grand Central across the street from our house had part of its roof collapse during a snow storm. Then several years later after it'd become a Fred Meyer, to roof collapsed again the day after Christmas.

The building is now a Smith's Marketplace. So watch yourself when you go in this week. :D

Back in my day there were no front wheel drive cars, no video games, no computers at your house and the ones at the university used paper punch cards. When I started doing engineering work in the 70's the entire engineering department shared one VT100 terminal. Also loved going to the A&W drive in for a frosty mug as a youngster. Rode home made mini bikes. Learned to drive in a 68 Camaro and a 59 Chev Apache 4x4 (on dirt roads.)

Growing up in Enoch, we used to shoot prairie dogs from our back porch, gun racks in pickup trucks displaying rifles for everyone to see, high school parking lot had a lot of trucks with guns on racks and probably unlocked. We still have the muzzleloaders, truck and people in this photo.

Back in my day, you ate lunch super quick in the winter so you had time to finish a game of Oregon Trail on the Apple IIe computers in the computer lab. I miss that warm green glow of the screen while getting dysentery.
I think I've mentioned this on here before but I used to give my family naughty names-


"Butthole was bitten by a rattlesnake and died."
