Clueless Don, when your dad drove you to Atlantic City, did you go over the Tacony Palmyra Bridge? The toll was 5 cents...even when I drove across it myself for the first time in 1970, in my dad's '59 Chevy BelAir (the one with the fins). Do you remember Egg Harbor? I loved that name! And the Knife and Fork Inn. My sister and I used to play the gas station game on the drive from Philadelphia through the Pine Barrens to Atlantic City. We'd each choose one gasoline company and count the stations along the way. As I recall, I always chose Atlantic ('cause we were going to Atlantic City, of course!) and I always won. Some of the other stations back then (early 60's) were: Mobil, Esso, Flying A, Gulf, Texaco, Amoco...and the rest are lost for the time being. The opening of the Atlantic City Expressway in 1965 changed that trip dramatically, from farm stands and the Renault Winery to just another big multilane highway. But I digress...We should do a thread on old Atlantic City: "More than Monopoly!"

Aloha,
Mark
