Back in the day
Les Jones on simpler times:
In the permissive, litigation-free Seventies we campers used to walk down the country road (with no sidewalks or shoulders to speak of) from camp to Dude Cooper’s store to buy cokes and gum and candy cigarettes, back when there were candy cigarettes, our shorts filled with pocket knives that were part of the required equipment for attending camp. If you forgot to bring a pocket knife you could buy one after dinner in the camp store along with fountain cokes and ice cream and candy bars and comic books.

Another Blount county landmark bites the dust.I remember a Blount county where you bought liquor from a hunchback behind a two-way mirror at the White Swan Motel.Now you cain’t sling a dead skunk without hitting a liquor store.

Were I to contemplate swinging a dead skunk, I would need to a few liquor stores first. Promise.
