We had a bookmobile here in Charles County too. It was like a huge RV. I loved that thing. Forgot all about it until I read your post. :lol:

I remember that. I used to live just a little ways down the road from there when I was in elementary school.

Funny thing about the Bookmobile, coming to work this afternoon coming through Hughesville was a flatbed truck with a really old bookmobile on the back all rusted out looked to be about 30 years or older you could still read the writing on the sides although kind of faded out said Calvert County, had weeds growing up inside of it, could see them through the windows.

I think the old Calvert County Book Mobile was called "The Rolling Tomes". It was red when I was a Kid.

Did you all have the "Library Theater Books Alive Traveling Show" when you were in elementary school? Where a troop of performers would go around to schools and put on productions of various portions of top children's books, trying to encourage reading???

Sorry if someone has posted this, but I couldnt read through 55 pages -

groceries came in brown paper bags.

you could buy May-pops at the grocery store.

your neighbor could tear into your butt not your parents - but, you would get it again when you got home.

In high school you had - Grits - the ones that hung out at the other hallway, smoked Kools and wore the wool green/red or blue/red sox and chuck taylors.

watchng School House Rock on Saturday morning cartoons.

Poloraid Cameras "Instant Photo" with the black and white picture you had to pull out the photo and wait 60 seconds and peel the film and then put that chemical on it to save the photo.
