Karns Drugs Store!

1980s

Anyway, his mom lived next to us on Lake Ave. Sweet woman and we would grill out with her often. You would often see her out collecting cans on Lake and the strip so we started bagging up our cans and gave them to her. She explained to us that she does it as a hobby to get exercise so she preferred we just throw them in her back yard…. So we did. Passers by would see this and think we were real jerks.

Yeah that was a tad before my time, though I do recall Vatican Pizza, I saw Jesus Chrysler there around that time…somewhere around 12th street I think…
