My mom would alternately call her "Pinky" or "Pincushion" (moms should stay out of the nicknaming business).<BR/><BR/>Kevin also reminded me that Mr. Ed's took over Ralph & Josie's when they retired. I had forgotten that.<BR/><BR/>Mark noted the trouble when Mr. Ed came in and brought in pinball and other game machines. There was a "there goes the neighborhood" atmosphere when they came, and petitions cirulated like mad. All for nothing, Mr. Ed's lasted only a short time, and the property has since become a duplex apartment.Brian R. Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14081099589796225998noreply@blogger.com
