Rite Spot

Many years ago, sister, our dog shep and I would take a trip up to the rite spot, which was up the railroad tracks a ways. During summer months a very enjoyable walk, not so in winter, but sister had to have her Pepsi, so up we would go, we would take our empties back to get our refund from our depoist which in turn paid for the new six pack of Pepsi. We also bought our milk and other little things there. The Rite Spot also served as a Diner for weary train travelers. Great memories there, they closed it down many years ago, so sad, but time moves on. Written 8-8-11

Reminds me of when I worked at STop and Go. Before I was clerk there, I used to buy candies and other treats with my sisters and we'd sneak them into our house thru the basement.(mom hated us spending our allowance on all that junk, but we would not be denied. haha) Good luck with your publishing! Luv, Andrea
