When I was a boy, I spent many a Saturday morning accompanying my mom to the grocery store. I'm pretty sure it was called Hogans and it was on Cypress Street, in West Monroe. Mom would do her shopping and I would stand at the comic book rack and read about Kid Colt and The Rawhide Kid. If I had been a good boy, which wasn't often, I would get to bring a couple of them home. If I remember correctly, they cost 25 cents. I don't have any of those old comic books I collected in the early 70's - I sure wish I did!
What I remember best about those trips to the grocery store were the western comics, the orange sherbet push ups and the chocolate soldier cold drinks. I don't know where all the nostalgia is coming from this morning, but it might have to do with the fact that I'm starting a series called "Legacy" this weekend or the fact that Toy Story 3 comes out next weekend just in time for Father's Day. Regardless, I cranked up the search engine, found these pics and enjoyed a nostalgic trip to the grocery!
