I remember a man delivering coal and the building had an opening in the front,(shute), and shoveled the coal onto the shute that went to the floor near the furnace?

I remember penny candy and when devil dogs were 5 cents and were bigger.

Our neighborhood had a guy, (Freddie), who sold hot dogs and had a cart with a horse. Hot dogs were 10 cents and three for a quarter.

I remember a conversation several years ago with a younger person that when I said, I remember when there was no air-conditioning and refrigerators. their reponse was an incredulous, "You mean there was no air-conditiing and refrigerators". How did you live?

I remember all the above except never heard of a Devil Dog - in with penny candy so it is probably some kind of candy?

I remember watching Howdy Doody down the street at the only house that had a TV and waiting in front of the Indian picture on the TV for about a half hour until Howdy came on - it was the only thing on TV.

Who was the Fat Lady, What song did she sing, When was it sung and why?
