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.
