Or do you still?<br />Cruising nights were always fun and here we would end up at the Standard Station or at the park. <br />It was a different world ~ kind of safe, even. ♥Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891776100180633574.post-84759519466316357322012-04-05T17:30:29.863-04:002012-04-05T17:30:29.863-04:00Loved the post-- but now I must ask-- which part o...Loved the post-- but now I must ask-- which part of Michigan are you from? (I'm guessing it is Michigan by the reference to Lansing?). If you are from MI-- I am from Brighton, Mi. I have family from Clarkston, Mi to Bay City, to Grand Haven to Union, Mi. They are all scattered. I no longer live there--in Ohio now. <br /><br />Anyway-- gas sure was cheap back in the day!! When I started driving it was 89 cents a gallon. It sure has sky rocketed!! <br /><br />Glad you joined us at the Writers' Post-- hope you'll share your posts with us!!<br /><br />Cheers, Jenn<br />http://www.wine-n-chat.comJennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559573562599754752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891776100180633574.post-67445528580892299832012-04-04T13:57:23.533-04:002012-04-04T13:57:23.533-04:00Those were some fun days.

I was pretty innocent too and also had a couple of close calls, but always managed to get myself out of trouble somehow.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05249278866263912763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891776100180633574.post-27337647358295208192012-04-04T12:40:13.352-04:002012-04-04T12:40:13.352-04:00That was great, Elaine.

My parents didn't allow my sisters and I to go out of town, so we just cruised in town, but so did most of the other kids. Occasionally, we would see a car full of guys from the next town over, but they were looking for "strange". You know... I was so doggone innocent back then that I didn't know that. I went on a date with a guy from the next town. It was a double date with my friend and his friend. But...they didn't take us to the movies like they said. They drove to a secluded trailer. When my friend and I refused to go in the trailer, they went in and was loudly calling us ugly names. My friend and I were so scared that we just made a run for it. Luckily it wasn't so far from town, but I swear, we ran the whole way until we got to a place with a phone. I called my Dad and he picked us up. The boy called me later and apologized. He said that he didn't know I was a "nice" girl and regreted his actions. Then he asked me out again. HA! I told him NO-NEVER! He called me a couple more times before he got the message. Fool me once.....<br /><br />Other than that unpleasant memory...Thank you for taking me on a cruise down memory lane... Love it!Darlene ~Bloggity Blogger~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08202901408911879517noreply@blogger.com
