And when you sit down the bar tender puts 1 drink and 3 beer chips in front of you. And tells you who all of them are from. And then it is your turn to buy rounds to repay and pretty soon the bar phone rings and it’s grandma. She doesn’t want to talk to grandpa, just checking he made it ok and hasn’t left yet because it’s been a few hours.
You been there huh?
This year I will have to take you up to our local Jewelry store and gun shop. Scott the owner is a hoot. Nothing like going in and seeing one person looking at an engagement ring while someone else is checking the trigger pull on a model 29 Smith & Wesson!
In my younger years i could run a tab at the local tavern. Yeah i pretty much did the same thing when i was liqoured up. i knew the owner and the manager wich was his daughter. they would just call me the next day and tell me to swing in to pay my bill.
Never admit to grandma you went to the bar for one when she thought you were just at the hardware store and getting gas for the lawnmower
That is the place right across from the corner cafe, right?
It’s open again. I haven’t been there but I’ve heard reports that it’s good. My coworker grew up less then a mile from the restaurant and has never had a gunder burger.
April, is that the single-room schoolhouse in Strawberry?
you guys are killing me with this thread, love it !
Az has one, one room school house, that is still operating, and it has only one 6th grade student this year.
I attended a one room school house, but it is gone now. Each grade ( 1 thru 8 ) set in a different row ( or a combination of grades in a row depending on the year and number of students in each grade ) and the 7th and 8th grade students helped the teacher, teach the younger students.
Other things you fellows have mentioned like the party telephone line, which we had. Two long rings and one short ring, was us. ( I think I am remembering that right ) But I remember this like it was yesterday, an old lady about two miles from us, listened in on every call, to every home. I remember my grandmother saying, "get off the phone Helen".
MNELKNUT. thank you
Lots of single room schoolhouses around here. Last one I think was in operation was 1993. My grandma taught at a country school, the only foreign language option was German because her mother immigrated here from there and most everyone in the area is German so most kids knew at least some.

Yep, that's the one!

We have a cabin in Pine, Az. where for years there was
no alcohol was served or sold.
Now there is one market that sells beer, and one bar.
Everything else (bottled liquor) you still have to drive
18mi. to Payson, Az.
Only the stock market and I'm currently out of that. No, this is her night out with some of the girls. I think...She went alone--you dont gamble
