Cruising the gut

My sister and I had so much fun cruising the gut, as it were, when we were in high school. We would go south on Winter Street in Salem then turn and go North on Capital Street and turn in at Bob's 19 cent hamburger's. It was the greatest. Course there was the time that we went to town to spend our berry money. We stopped at the original GI Joe's to get tennis shoes. They had them in a bag no less. When I got home I had one size 7 and one size 10. It was still a great day. As we were coming out of town, my sister was driving our brother's 51 chevy two door hard top. She ran a red light and some one on the side street yelled where did you get your driver's license in a cracker jack box. We laughed and laughed. When my kids were first driving age the police pretty much had put stop to cruising. If you pass by more than twice in a certain area of Salem on Friday or Saturday night they would ticket you. What a drag. I think that my kids may have developmentally challenged in some way because they were not able to complete that growing up experience.
