Even though I began driving in the 1990s, my first vehicle was a road-cone orange Ford Pinto. 1979, sun roof leaked so we had to put duct-tape around the edges. Also had no shocks or power steering.

I thought the hall thing was for tornadoes an nuclear thing was under the desk?

I do remember the tornado drills... they also had to open all the windows to.

We still have half of those things in Michigan: White Castle, Bonanza Steakhouses, K-Mart w/ slants, Big Boy's, IGA stores

Alot of those stores except for Sears, new Kmart are gone now. Yep, closed, out of business.

DD's school just gave her a Free Sundae at Big Boy coupon for a local location ... that's still open. There are also White Castles and Bonanzas still here. There is still an IGA Store in Skidway Lake, MI. I shopped there Friday.
