That's where the hamburger was invented.



Pizza and hamburgers, and before it went "modern" and moved two or three

times since I lived in the area, also home of Jimmies, where lobster
m
rolls were 65 cents, 13 cherrystones were a buck and shucked right

before your eyes, and 20 cents got you a terrific hot dog and 15 cents

more bought an order of handcut homemade fries.



Ah...the good old days.
The big treat on Fridays was an order of fish and chips for. Twenty-five cents.
The small Morris Lunch was just shy of half a city block from our house.


In many ways, the good old days were much better for growing up than
recent times.
