COME ON IN! Bring your date and put a quarter or two in the Jukebox. I hope your date can dance, once the music starts no telling what will happen.
Those that remember the fifties know what a time that was. At night you slept with the doors unlock and windows open. When someone said you were gay, it just met you were happy. A young girl could walk to the movies blocks from home and be in no danger. The gas was 25 cents per gallon but the price didn't matter, most people didn't have a car. You walked where you had to go. No one had ever heard of fat free food. That was fine because I didn't know anyone that was fat. Maybe walking where you had to go help a lot. Oh yes another thing that kept us slim was dancing, and we did dance.
