If there were chain pizzas available, I wasn't aware of them.<BR/><BR/>It was next to a Dunkin' Donuts, and my brother was allowed to get a dozen to bring in with us, since he hated pizza... rarely were there any left for Sunday morning.<BR/><BR/>and possibly the best food memory of the sixties... peanut clusters at the candy counter of Sears at Northland Mall. It was next to the hardware and sporting goods, where a life-size cardboard Ted Williams stood next to the fishing tackle. Dad would pick up two or three pounds of fresh chocolate peanut clusters, then to B. Dalton to browse... those were the days.<BR/><BR/>Peanut clusters are still a favorite, but they don't make 'em like they used to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261187.post-1116417774215512862005-05-18T08:02:00.000-04:002005-05-18T08:02:00.000-04:00Apologies to anyone who has never been to St. Loui...Apologies to anyone who has never been to St. Louis. <BR/><BR/>The worst pizza I ever had was in the St. Louis area.

Big fancy salads with jello and various goodies (marshmallows, walnuts, sliced bananas) were big. Sounds like these kids just stuck to candy and cereal. Typical. Sounds like your mother knew her stuff. How 'bout that???
