Remember Brownie's Lunch that had great cherry cokes, greasy burgers
& fries? What a place to go after school to eat junk food, play pool,
play euchre, or just simply go there and do nothing. What a youth
experience.
Or how about Levi Berg's where you could buy an ice cream cone (double
dip Sealtest raspberry swirl) for a nickel (or maybe it was a dime)?
I never went to the back room as a kid because that was where all the
bad stuff was going on (probably card games or tip boards, maybe even
near beer was being consumed).
Do any of you have any memorable experiences at these places or any
other long gone places in Dalton?
My most memorable experience at Brownie's was when I was just a tad
of a kid (somewhere between probably 7 to 27 years old), I hate to
admit, but I stole a 10 cent bag of potato chips. Feeling guilty,
the next day I went back to Brownie's, threw a dime on the
counter
and slinked away for atonement. "Lord, please forgive me" I said to
myself as I left. Lesson learned. I have not stolen anything since.
I guess my parents raised me well.
Let me know of your memories of theses places or others. I'm sure
everyone has a tale to tell.
I'll try to think of some other places in the area to jog your memory.
