Thanks for the cool old pictures David. I need to start doing some piksture diving. I know I've got a few lying around that ain't X-rated. Hamlet is a cool old place. Not very exciting, but hay, that's why I like coming back for a visit.

Remember the weekend before the races they would let you take your whatever around the track? I remember when Leon McCaskill blew the engine in that 500 with the I think a 390 and a Nascar cam in it!! Good Times!! Johnson boys, Turkey Farmer, Turnage boys, Humbers, Robinsons, dropped headers and lot...

That must have been their ladder truck! LOL. They've come a long way since then.

Melvins in Elizabeth Town or it may be Whiteville has some pretty danged good burgers. All they sell is burgers and cheeseburgers with or without the killer chili (no beans) they will put on it if you so request. Butcher across the street is where they get the meat. I think they buy it in 1/3 pound ...

sigmore

Well lynnsteen, other than huggin, kissin, and drinkin, what other reason would there be?? I did do a little burger and fry eatin though. I wasn't into fightin and such.

sigmore

"Gee Willikers" as Mr Gregson would say, I was right both times. That could be a first!!

sigmore

I always parked in the back. Where else could you beep the horn and someone would bring you an ICE cold Bud inna bottle for 35 cents??? I think they had the first video jukebox in town also. I heard The "Hanky Panky" song a million times inside the Hub while them dirty ole men watched that...

sigmore

I remember when Mr Gregson and I took that record shattering photo from our tetherd balloon. If you look closely you can make out the tether in the middle of the photo. I also have some property for sale.

sigmore

I seem to remember watermelons were kept there too. Nothing like an ice cold melon on a hot summer day!

sigmore

Weee Doggies!! I wish I hadda bought a bunch-o-diamond rings back then!!

sigmore

Where have you been Joe?? Welcome back.

sigmore

Tom & Sarah's. Worked there for about 3 days after they ran me off from Hardee's job because I wouldn't cut my hair!! Tom ran me off because on my first night off I came over there and laid up in the Hippo trash can drunk and was generally having too much fun!! Got run off a lot for that. Having...

sigmore

Thanks David!! I'd forgotten about the Last Will and Testament stuff.

sigmore

I see there were parking meters on the street back then. Looks like those old street lights are making a come back also. Starting to see them everywhere in Brevard County Florida when they spruce up the streets. I also noticed the "Crowded Sky" marquee Janet. I like them old pictures.of do...

sigmore

Yepper, that's the way I remember it. It was pretty neat having a tunnel under the tracks so you could get the next train over. Ate many a late nite munchie at the depot grill.

sigmore

Well now, there's a man with some answers!! Thanks Freddie.

sigmore

Jody, the more I think about it, I don't think our founding fathers would have allowed night swimming. Too much of a chance of "hanky-panky" if you know what I mean!!

sigmore

I wonder what year the first picture is from? I don't think that I remember the posts for the foundation. It was always on concrete block the way I remember it. What was that thing that looks like it might be an area light on the platform? When did Boyd's lake first open?? I need some answers, help,...

sigmore

I wish someone would take my characters Belly Button, Armpit, and Super Stud Hoss and make an action movie!! I'd be rich I tellya, RICH!!!

sigmore

Yepper, it's all coming back. My third and present wife lived on the corner of Champlain and Myrtle in the sw corner lot. Nothing there now. The so called "renter" burnt it down when he was getting ready to be evicted for no money no stayee. That's where Lex, Lionel, Cheryl, Aimee and my s...

sigmore

Thanks a bunch for that David. I had forgotten that the "covert" bus 69 excursion was in the SandSpur! That's one thing I did that I will never regret!! How often do you have a hand in something that people still talk about over 40 years later!! Those kind of good times are gone forever. I...

sigmore

Someone is strangely missing from this "reunion" picture Mr Gregson and I have your home on Speed Google, and I know people!! I will bother you no longer as the damage to my self esteem is done.

Sigmore " cornbread's a comin " Fetner

sigmore

I need to check yoh green card amigo!!

sigmore

I just knew that Super Stud Hoss was in there somewhere!

sigmore

GREGSON!! I can't believe you took a picture without ME in it!! We gotta talk, cornbread to cornbread.

sigmore

Well, yeah now that I think about it. I didn't say that though.

sigmore

Dang it!! Where's all the men folk? Women don't let us have gatherings like that without at least one Mama Hen looking out for us!! LOL

sigmore

AAAAHHHHH!!! I remember all of those songs, and the PAD. I remember getting the Rhine Gold Chug-A-Mugs at the Pad for a quarter!! I'm gittin old I tellya!

sigmore

I remember the RC Cola place. I seem to vaguely remember CoCola was there also. Not enough for a concurrance though mind you.

sigmore

Why yes, yes I do. Had lotsa fun when I worked at Nettles Shell Station traveling on those 6 oz bottles.

sigmore

Dang!! 50,000 bucks went a long way back then. I'll bet that it would cost over a million now.

sigmore

I plead the 5th!!

sigmore

I agree! He fixed my mode of transportation several times too. I also remember a Studebaker shop in close proximity to the bike shop. My Uncle Ross Fetner ran it. He sold the Golden Hawks with the chevy V-8 engine and an overdrive transmission. I heard they had one heck of a top end speed. If I'm wr...

sigmore

I like watcha sayin bud eye cant concur cuz I aynt sure. That is what is called Benbonics here in Florida. Most places I work I end up with someone to tell everyone else what I said. It's a curse I tellya!!

sigmore

I think Crowded Sky or something like that was on the marqee for years after it closed.

sigmore

You got me on that one Bill. I always looked in the cup though, not under the lid. LOL

sigmore

Why yes, yes I do remember them little cups of goodness and the little wooden spoon.

sigmore

Yepper, they were deep fried and lip smackin good with mustard, onions, and chili!!

sigmore

Good memory Freddie. Yepper, will always remember that rocker sign. The pointing pig at Revels was a goodun too.

sigmore

I concur.

sigmore

I'm only 45 minutes away! I can drag him back to the Stone Age!! Ask him if he he remembers ole Benjamin. I'l be nice, promise.

sigmore

Dang GG. You sure can stir up some old memories. I haven't thought about them two in years and some more years. I didn't even know that Nancy Z was gone. I remember when she ran through the front of Rose's. I think she was the first one to ever do that. It started the gas or brake brain poot phenome...

sigmore

Looks like Brylcreem was the hair gel of choice back then!!

sigmore

Dang!! A skilled signalman was making $3.78 an hour. That was good wages back then. I was only making $1.25 at Hardee's. I coulda bought me a Caddy with that type of dough!!

sigmore

I remember one year the HFD hosed the hill. You could go almost to the RR tracks. It was quite a walk back up the hill too. I think it lasted over a week. As long as I lived in town I don't remember another snow like that one. We also found out that MD 20/20 and snow made quite the treat!!

sigmore

And let's not forget who invented the Sausage Dog. Deep fried with mustard, onions, and chile, yum, yum! I always got the 5 cent coke and the 5 cent 4 corner nabs for waiting on bus 69 for my trip home on Boyd Lake Road.

sigmore

Boy-O-Boy David! You sure pulled a rabbit outcha hat with that one. Thanks, I never knew that was done. Hamlet sure has changed from those days.

sigmore

It looks like they were in the transition from steam to deisel in that picture.

sigmore

Yeah Ben!! I saw that suck up picture of you and Jody in the line up. Have you no self respect?? I'll bet it is a good book though. Jody has the gift of gabbing on paper. I like those articles he sends over from California. Lee Meacham was blessed with a quirky laugh. Haven't heard it in a while tho...
