I remember putting my dime in one of these Coke Machines, sliding the glass Coke bottle along the rail to the "extraction point," pulling the Coke out, and opening it on that device on the front.

I recall the 5 cent machines and then later in 57 a rare 7 cent machine that was not a reach in. It was outside a gas station in the Ft Knox area. The machine I think you are referring to was the old nickel machine. You opened the top and slide the bottle, I think? There was an opener on the side or front. Coca Cola has an intersting site that shows all these old vending machines. I recall a vendio sp, machine. I looked them up about a year ago on ebay to buy one, and; they are not cheap. I do not have that kind of money for nostalgia. I would like one though.

I missed #6. I'll admit to a WAG on #4, but got it.
Also remember the Continental (Wonder) bakery in Natick MA... heavenly aromas, and discount twinkies at the outlet store  I think it's a hotel now, or part of the mall.

I missed #1 and 4.
I still have a long way to go to 60! Something to be said about liking old movies and antiques and hanging out with a crowd much older than me!

Heck, I had to scour the neighborhood for empties to trade in for the Coke (Royal Crown in my case) in the first place.

Missed #10, father thought it was a chic-flick (or whatever they called them in those days).
It was Jerry Ruben - over 30 quote but Dylan reinforced it. For some reason, I also think of Abbe Hoffman, too.
