Things from your childhood that you do not see anymore.

Silver dimes and quarters. There were still some around when I was a kid, but they slowly disappeared. For some reason, I did find three silver quarters in my change in the last couple of years. I give them away to kids that have never seen one.

I was going to ask if the car was around.. But then I thought about it..crap I remember that.

I was at one in Buffalo last month.

Yeah I know there is one on Niagara Falls Blvd. I drive by there often whenever I go to Buffalo. I have never eaten there though. I usually go to Olive Garden over there. This weekend I'm heading there for some shopping.
